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.

    • It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).   
    • Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️
    • It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
