In a general grouping: Rashard Anderson, Bruce Nelson, Eric Shelton, Dwayne Jarrett, Jason Peter (could've had hometown Vinnie Holliday...), Ellison, all of 2009, Mitch Marrow.

I actually completely forgot about Anderson until I started browsing this list. Man, he was a whiff. I remember being excited about him too.

1. Rae Carruth - No explanation needed
2. Jimmy Clausen - One of the most overhyped prospects I've ever seen
3. Rashard Anderson - Literally spent 1 season in the league and then washed out of the CFL 4yrs later
4. Greg Little - I am so thankful that nobody fleeced Hurney when he tried to trade up for him. Also, look at who else was on the board!
5. Rashaan Gaulden - No athleticism, just double birds to the Bama fans

Dishonourable Mention: Everette Brown, Sione Fua

I wouldn't say Otah was a bust, he was steamrolling fools.

Otah suffered from what many of our draft picks suffer from; being high potential and impact players initially but sizzling out quickly (even more so after being paid)

Otah, KB, Turner, and Short are all names that come to mind recently who were standouts that just seemed to suddenly croak.

It also seems like anyone who doesn't stay with the team doesn't necessarily die, but doesn't find quite the level of success they seemed to have had. Norman, Bradbury, Star, and Butler are examples of this.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
