Who would you rank as top 5 Panther draft busts of all time?

Even over Collins?

 

Oh absolutely. 

Collins was the QB on a team that made it to the NFC Championship game and made a pro bowl (after SEVERAL people dropped out and he just happened to be in hawaii on vacation.) He had his jaw broken in the preseason, really let his drinking get out of control, and had to get his life together before surfacing with the Giants and playing in a superbowl. Then Kerry hung around and was productive for another 10 years. So he could clearly play. And Collins taking time to deal with his demons isn't the reason the Panthers fell apart after 1997 - it contributed, but there was a lot going on. 

Everette Brown had no position in the NFL. He was drafted in part to give the team leverage in negotiations with Peppers. They overpaid for him and the pick became Mike Iupati. It created a huge hole in talent that would take years to dig out of, and I would argue they never did. Obviously that was during the height of Hurney setting draft picks on fire, but even just one more first rounder during that period sure would have been helpful 7 years later in the Super Bowl. 

Could not play, drafted for stupid reasons, final nail in the coffin of the Fox era, set the team back SUBSTANTIALLY, nearly led to Hurney trading the Cam newton pick for Jimmy Clausen (thank you Arizona).....i mean that pick had it all. 

If you want to go back a step further you say it was Jeff Otah, since that was the first "trading future first rounders" domino to fall. And also Jeff Otah may or may not have just decided he didn't want to play football anymore and fake some soft tissue injuries while collecting a paycheck. Which hey, I get it. 

But he could very clearly play when he was motivated, so i don't think he belongs here.

I'm baffled by anyone putting Clausen on the list. He was a second rounder; so even though he was our first pick of the draft (thanks Everette Brown) you can't really say staked the future of the franchise on him.

Also IMO "bust" is largely contingent upon the opportunity cost. The "we clearly should have taken instead" factor. That was a legendarily bad draft class for QBs; Bradford, The Golden Calf of Bristol, then Clausen. The next best after him was Colt McCoy. You look how that draft played out, and I don't see anyone one can clearly say we should have taken instead.

Clausen was a dice roll that didn't work out. I hardly call that a bust.

 

And as other have said, Clausen is the reason for us having the best QB in Panthers history. He's a hall of fame pick in terms of the history of the franchise!

I only have 1sr and 2nd round picks on my list. 

1. Eric Shelton RB

2. Everette Brown DE

3. Rashad Anderson CB

4. Bruce Nelson G

5. Rae Carruth WR (has to be on here)

 

Can't have Clausen on the list because he brought us Cam. 

Bruce Nelson was injuries. I remember being so excited that we got him AND Gross in that draft. Was really sad what happened w/ his hip.

    • I always just go back to what I said at the time. Trade Burns to the Rams because it's a fantastic deal. I was screaming it. I'm still angry at Fitt over that. Right after he turned down the deal I said he needed to get into a time machine and go back and make the deal. Hate that dude. Ruined our team. Trading D.J was a major mistake because what matters most in the NFL is the passing game, so you never unload a proven #1 WR when there are other options. Always trade a defensive player over a WR if you have that option available. Fitt was precious about defensive players when we had a passing offense that didn't function. That's how know he was completely incompetent. The passing offense is the top priority, so until that is functioning all defensive players are possible trade fodder. At this point we're in a rebuilding year under a new GM and a QB who looks absolutely horrendous. It makes perfect sense, if you follow all of our moves, that we would be the worst team in the NFL. Of course we are. You can't screw up as a GM that many times over the years and not ruin the franchise. We're exactly where we should be, dead last, or bottom 3. Whichever you like. But this is the here and now. Dan did a good job getting our 2nd round pick back, and we won't know about the picks until they take the field in regular season games. We're in dark until then, but if they suck the Panthers media will hide it shamelessly. Remember when Young was supposed to be a football genius? Yeah he was rancid turds out there when live fire started. There is some hope. Either Young improves and we win more games, or he stays about the same and we draft a new QB in 2025. Either way the NFL will help us out of this jam, but all we need is for Dan not to screw it up.
