Is Nick Hayden the Most Ineffective Player in Panthers History?

I told you to grow up because a thread of 'OMG THIS GUY IS THE LAMEST PLAYER WE HAVE EVER HAD' is pretty childish, pointless and completely objective. If you can systematically prove to me with facts, figures and professional assessments as to why he is the most ineffective player in our history I may pay more attention, maybe.

As it is, you just come off pretty immature, clueless and certainly focusing on the insignificant things on our team. After all the guy was second in tackles on our team today...

Not to mention it's his second year and we have had a plethora of injuries at the DT position which has forced our hand. Frankly I think the last couple of weeks he has come on a bit, but I will not make a thread about it because it is irrelevant.

I completely disagree.

Nearly every time they ran between the tackles Hayden was in there getting trampled. He'd catch Maroney's legs while out linebackers are piling all over him after a 6 yard gain and get a "tackle" for it. I can honestly say that I have never seen Hayden get any push up the middle, this year or last. He's not good at getting pressure on passing downs, nor is he a good run stopper. Earlier in the season, prior to signing Thomas, Leonard, Tyler, etc etc etc, Beason made a statement about our ineffectiveness at DT. Its not irrelevant at all, in fact they ran for close to 200 yards against us today.

'Systematically prove to you with facts figures and professional assignments you might pay more attention?' Wow, you're a jackass. As if the OP is waiting with bated breath on your approval of his opinion.

It's called a hyperbole. He was exaggerating to get his point across.

Is it the most creative insightful and infallible thread ever? No. But it is a valid opinion, and I see nothing childish about it.

Why don't you go try policing all the threads started about someone being annoyed with a player's inability? Good luck with that.

BTW, Nick Hayden may be the least of our worries right now, but from what I've seen, I cannot fathom how he would make the team next year unless Kemo, Leonard, Lewis, Thomas, and Tyler all go down with achilles injuries at the outset of practice.

Bingo.

That is the point. Hayen isn't a good or particularly effective player, but we are stuck with him and there aint much out there which will be any better.

Why did I get so worked up about this thread? Because there are a million more significant things going on with our team. Nick Hayden really is one of our lesser worries, as like you pointed out, he won't be playing much if at all for us.

I just could not understand, after this game, that Nick Hayden is the one who was focused on for rage. It's like kicking a puppy. We know the guy has limitations already, so why would we just pile more on?

Only reason I stated what seemed to enrage you was because the OP did not really seem to think he was exaggerating as he followed his post up with more of the same.

What was childish, was the thread having little to no insight or point.

lol he does royally suck, but this is john fox we're talking about.. theres no way hes going to admit he f*cked up drafting this POS.

:rolleyes:He was only a 6th round pick, and they don't have a choice but to play him because everybody else is hurt. You can't blame this one on Fox.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
