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!

Dan Morgan

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 might be a good time for a Jerry Richardson reference.   ...   Actually, no it wouldn't 😕
    • Nicolas Cage is certainly fun to watch in "Nicolas Cage" roles (Face Off, The Rock, 8MM). Parts generally need to suit his particular persona or things can wind up looking kind of silly ('Not the bees! NOT THE BEEEES!!!") Having him play an actual historical figure... eeehhh, just seems like a bad idea, similar to having Dwayne Johnson star in a biopic about Martin Luther King 😕
    • Dude, I’m sorry but I don’t get your worries about this magical culture and fan involvement. We’ve sucked balls since 2018 because we actually did what you want to do. Limp along and try to win as many games as possible without actually being good. All that does is cause the same problems you didn’t want to gamble on happening. Well, they did what you wanted and what did we get for it? 7 drafts and Young, Horn and Brown, not exactly a SB winning core. We haven’t won more than 7 games since 2017 and you are worried about risking our culture, etc.? That’s silly. Cam and Luke have been gone for 5+ years now. We finally had a draft in 2025 where we actually had our full allotment of picks. We absolutely screwed up by not going full rebuild. Texans did in the same window and they’ve been to the playoffs multiple times and have a much better team. Any fan issues now in Houston even with the Watson massage debacle? I will separate this statement because I get annoyed at back seat driving type comments. Many of us like minded draft followers and GM and wannabes said that we should have tanked in 2022 and traded every guy where teams offered quality picks. You might not like it, but we were 100% correct. Sure, Fitterer might have pissed them away but the Rams 2024/2025 1sts would have been Morgan’s picks. You also have to rebuild through the draft, period, which is why bad teams try build up picks, not trade them all away or don’t take hauls when available. There’s not one team that rebuilt through FA and was successful. It doesn’t exist because the key guys (Eagles OL/DL, Hurts, Mahomes, Kelce, Chris Jones) on Super Bowl teams (Kuechly, TD, Cam) are drafted. I grew up in CT and I went to Pats games when people handed you stacks of free tickets in the parking lot because no one wanted to go to their games. One QB and a bunch of solid OL/D picks and they were a different franchise. We can only hope that Canales is the right coach and that 2025 is the start of drafting well. If I’m being objective, we’ve still got a ways to go.
