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

    • Ridley Grieg was handed a 2-game suspension for his sucker punch on Sean Walker during the Ottawa series. First 2 regular season games for the 2026-2027 schedule.
    • Number 9  Carolina Panthers  Bryce Young, the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, produced career highs in completion percentage (63.6%), passing yards per game (188.2) and passing touchdowns (23) in 2025. However, those numbers aren't exactly stellar by NFL quarterbacking standards. Even though the Panthers backdoored their way into the postseason in 2025 as NFC South champions with an 8-9 record, Young's performance was up-and-down. He threw for the third-fewest passing yards by a quarterback to make the playoffs in the last 20 seasons, per CBS Sports Research.  FEWEST PASSING YARDS BY QB TO REACH PLAYOFFS, LAST 20 SEASONS (MIN. 16 STARTS) PASSING YARDS PLAYOFF WINS 2012 Christian Ponder (MIN) 2,935 0 2008 Joe Flacco (BAL) 2,971 2 2025 Bryce Young (CAR) 3,011 0 2006 Steve McNair (BAL) 3,050 0 2019 Josh Allen (BUF) 3,089 0 Young did deliver some high highs, like when he threw for a franchise-record 448 yards passing in a Week 11 overtime win at the Atlanta Falcons and when he went toe-to-toe with Stafford in the playoffs in a 34-31 defeat.  Kenny Pickett couldn't win the Cleveland Browns' quarterback competition a year ago, and Will Grier is a career backup. This is Young's team.
