Only one pick from the 2014 draft is still on the team


TN05

Recommended Posts

1st - Kelvin Benjamin (traded)
2nd - Kony Ealy (cut)
3rd - Trai Turner (Pro Bowler)
4th - Tre Boston (cut)
5th - Bené Benwikere (cut)
6th - Tyler Gaffney (never played a down)

One Pro-Bowler, one pretty good wideout, three bit players (at best) and one player who never played a down. Not a great draft.

You can't fault DG for the next terrible GM trading away a great player. Ealy wasn't cut either but was ultimately a risk reward pick that didn't work out and you can blame DG for that. Boston and Benwikere contributed to success for us, that's more than can be said for the large majority of 4th and 5th round picks. And who's to say Bene wouldn't still be here and/or contributing in the league if he didn't have that brutal broken leg? Boston ain't so bad in LA either.

KB wasn't great and he wasn't getting a second contract here anyway.

Yea, Carolina hasn’t had a great GM ever. I don’t trust JR to hire us one this offseason, either. Gettleman was a conservative gm, an a**hole who’s drafts look pretty bad as each day passes. He was just good at managing the cap of the players here, and picking up a low risk player every once in awhile. With him, around here, the mantra was always, “we’re building for the future” “who would you rather have, ‘such and such free agent or “name in current panther who’s due a contract”. That was repeated every year, while we never saw any sustained success.

Hurneys just trash, and has no business being a GM. 

All starts with the top, though.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we do still have at least one Hurney apologist on board. 

This is the type of sh*t i’m talking about when I say the Huddle has a stance on Gettleman. Anything short of literally kissing his ass is Hurney apologism, apparently.

Lest we not forget our current acting GMs great ones

2011

1st: Cam- obvious good but hard to choke the #1 pick away from a class that has a potential 7 HOF draftes in the top 11 that year

 

2nd (33rd pick): traded away the year before for Armanti

3rd: Terrell McClain- lasted 1 season on the team

3rd (#2): Fua- lasted 2 years on the team

4th: Bradon Hogan- lasted 1 year on team

5th: Kealoha Pilares- lasted 2 seasons

6th: Lawerence Wilson-practice squad rookie season, realeased halfway through the season

6th (#2): Zachary Williams- 1 season then to arena league

7th: Lee Ziemba- 1 season

Blah blah I like my FUPA man he is always right but that coach Rivera who led us to the SB appearance an fielding top 10 Defense  is is poo  even though  FUPA man limited the offense with minimum investment

    • As long as Morgan is the GM, Young will be the QB. Young is 100% Morgan's guy. The contract extension is pretty much guaranteed unless Young suffers a career ending injury this season.
    • People really need to stop placing Dan Morgan on some kind of infallible pedestal. He is absolutely in lockstop with Tepper regarding Bryce and has been all along. As far as the team being okay with 185 passing yards per game. We better have a proven monster RB in our backfield then. Presently that guy is not on the roster. Chuba has one outlier season so far and the other guys have proven nothing. Not what you would call a great recipe. The only thing we can hope at this juncture is that the highest paid OL in the league for the second year in a row elevates their play from last season and opens up some massive holes even our RB's can get through. But it still doesn't resolve the issue of predictability. With no viable passing game it is much easier to shut down any run game. No defenses are scared of Bryce's arm. It is what it is.
    • i lived in Atlanta from 84'to 92' & back then it was indeed a very different time without the internet & access to information 24/7. shortly after i moved back home to western NC around 93' or 94' the Carolina Panthers were awarded an NfL franchise & began their inaugural season in 95' so ike you i have seen the Carolina Panthers, ,the NFL ,technology, fans all evolve over the many a moon & years now some for the better & others not so ...just saying
