what former Panther do you wish had succeeded while in Carolina?


Black

title says it all, who do did you have expectations for that never reached those expectations?

for me its Drew Carter...it seemed like he had the rare combination of size and speed that doesn't come around much in the NFL...every year i thought was going to be his break out year, but he seemed to consistently regress

Eric Shelton is a close second, although he never really showed any signs of potential, coming out of Louisville, he seemed to be our power back of the future

just thought we could use a distraction from nick names and playoff seedings!

Guy was the ultimate career tease, he could have been a GREAT player, a top 3 MLB. He set a super bowl record for most tackles in a game. But alas, he would get injured every season, and will soon be forgotten even though I believe he could have had a HOF career.

sucks

No Kerry Collins was a douche.

I had high hopes for Drew Carter, like everyone it always seemed like he was about to break out.

Deshaun Foster, everyone gives the dude such a hard time, but he was a true team player, he did everything asked of him, never complained and mentored Deangelo no questions asked. After 03 I really thought he had something. I thought him and D.Will were gonna be what D.Will and Stewart are now back then.

and as much as it pains me to say this, David Carr, I still knew Jake was the man here, but I wanted him to succeed after being wrecked in Huston, but obviously that was not the case, dude just flat out sucked.

    • This is a quick reference that refreshes the memory bank.  https://sogsports.com/greatest-nfl-tight-ends-of-all-time/ It doesn’t list their draft position or I didn’t see that but you bet some of these guys were not 1st round picks. 
    • I ain't buying it. You run to set up the pass and pass to set up the run. You gotta have at least the threat of legit deep shots. And, last I looked, a deep pass is only 20 yards, so what are we doing here?   Football 101 by Top Dawg: Look, you draft the best players (and that's perhaps even more important at offensive skill positions).  You develop them. You keep your pipeline active year after year. On game days, you run to set up the pass, and pass to set up the run. If they can't stop the run, you run it down their throats. When they do stop the run, pass it, even if you dink and dunk it. But, you have to pepper in deep shots to keep them honest. When they get comfortable with stopping or trying to stop the pass, you run it.  Rinse and repeat and rinse and repeat. Being a one-winged bird on offense is not optimal.   
    • It's actually incredibly funny how we had an effective power run offense under Wilkes and then Tepper blew it up and we're only just now winning again once we shifted back to a power run offense.
