Who is the best UDFA in Panthers history?

Hoover is underrated but was a great player at his position and would get my vote. If you're only talking guys who ended up with huge contracts then yeah, Norwell.

Absolutely agree, but even back when FBs were a staple position it wasn't uncommon to find good ones in the later rounds or undrafted. They were kind of along the lines of a punter. They were rarely anything other than late round picks or UDFAs due to positional value.

I'd say Hoover was the best UDFA for us. He played with us for 10 seasons; his entire career. I'd say we got the most value out of him. 

Yeah Norwell was way better but since we let him walk so soon gotta go with Hoover. He was one of the best his whole career when FB was still used around the league.

Hoover is underrated according to whom? He is far and away one of the more popular players from the early years and one that is constantly mentioned when discussing iconic Panther's players.

    • Well, the whole rationale used  for the high IQ point guard is it would allow us to spend our resources elsewhere….instead it’s all our first rounders ever since to support the bad pick.  Reality is our front office is just bad.  If you wanted Bryce Young you were going to need to do something unique and special for him.  Instead we just insert a QB with traditional tools into old NFL concepts that pair with traditional talent and our pass game is whack
    • Good to see some other folks are speaking the same language on this. It's simple common sense. But it seems like there's a disconnect due to the misplaced value the team has put on Thielen because he was the only vaguely good veteran WR willing to sign with the Panthers after we traded away DJ Moore. That time has come and gone. We have two first round WR's on the roster now.
    • Yeah I’m turning this into a Bryce can’t play QB thread. Just stating that offense was a poo show two years ago. No QB is succeeding in that, much less a rookie. I feel like it’s become a common debate strategy on here to just jump down the rabbit hole of saying he is just bad in so many ways when any certain point gets countered. If that doesn’t work we can deflect to how poorly this team has been ran. In regards to the actual point we are debating, the OL was struggling, half of the skill players aren’t on a roster, Mingo has done nothing with his new team and the staff are either not coaching or on their 3rd team in 3 years, aside from McCown (I liked McCown too). Honestly about as bad as it gets. No need to try to state how good of an offense it was billed it because that has been proven false at this point.
