This. Compared to expectations going into the season, I don’t know how anyone chooses a different answer. 
 

1. Baker

2. Robbie

3. Keith Taylor

4. Higgins

5. Chinn

Some of us got blasted for saying Baker was garbage and had no expectations of him.

Granted he was even worse than I thought.

Same with Robbie.

I’m not sure if it’s homerism or new fans or giving benefit of the doubt to a rediculous degree but our fans e has this weird quirk of agreeing with literally everything being done just for being a fan.

But sometimes the writing is already on the wall and your favorite franchise just sucks at making decisions.

Which leads me to Chinn. He just isn’t used right.

Henderson, Mayos, Thomas all more realistic answers for me.

I didn’t have expectations from Taylor as a late pick by my god he is just complete trash.

That’s fair for his rookie year. Since he showed flashes during his rookie year, I think the expectations of many rose some for his sophomore campaign. I at least expected to see some of the potential, but it was just a rough year all around. Maybe he’ll show something on Sunday. I haven’t given up on him yet and think he should probably make a move to safety this off-season.

Baker Mayfield

this should be the very first one anyone thinks of. 

i doubt anyone was expecting him to be all-pro and a few thought he would suck, but i think most thought that he would be at the very least serviceable and not just plain horrible, which he was. i mean who thought that we would be cutting him half way through the year. through training camp, i mean we thought we had found a fairly OK QB. 

talk about a disappointment. it doesn't matter what he's doing in LA. He wasn't doing anything close to that here. blame it on whoever or whatever you want, he was a huge disappointment here.

I need to see Chinn under new management before I can believe he can't return to his rookie year. SS or Lber, the FS BS needs to end and Woods isn't good enough to hold that spot so we need to do somethings to clean up the safety positions. 

Jackson had a disappointing year for a guy who signed his big contract. Thomas is still not good. Henderson is still disappointing. Horn is still not healthy. YGM is a ghost usually who disappoints. CMC only had 393 rush yards when traded, 65.5 per game, that was disappointing. RA was RA so disappointment is his middle name. Baker played his worst ever here, well below limited expectations. 

There are some passes due to poor coaching and poor management but that doesn't completely alleviate the disappointment left after this year. I hope everyone comes into next year fired up and ready to turn it around.

How is 12.5 sacks on a rookie deal salary a top disappointment? Is he Julius Peppers level HOF career so far? No not at all but some people act like he is the world's worst player ever and that could not be further from the truth. The guy is good and can play. Would I pay him the highest salary for his position in the league? Nope, but the dude definitely deserves higher than a rookie salary when he comes up. Will he take a deal that is good but not the best in the NFL when his time comes? Who knows but I hope so and am happy to take that gamble that we keep versus lose him. He is getting better every year. Next season o fully expect even more sacks and more improvement. He is not a Nick Bosa but he damn sure is not a disappointment.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By ladypanther · Posted

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.

      He wasn't a JAG, he's been a starter every year of his career. Didn't turn into the superstar it seemed like he might his rookie year, but I think part of that has been being misused. Guy was/is a baller.
