What are (in your opinions) the biggest draft busts and home runs ever... For the purposes of THIS THREAD AND DISCUSSION this does NOT include players who were injured and their career spiraled due to injury, so leave the Timmy B hate in the cabinet... ALSO, for the purpose of this discussion, UNDRAFTED FAs don't count... Strictly drafted players... +1 it if you agree, -1 it if you don't, but offer why you feel that way too... And if you +/- someone, you have to add a player to the discussion... Try to bring something new... We all know Ryan Leaf is a bust... Doesn't need to be limited to just Panther players...

I'll start it off... One that I had the Panthers drafting in my mock, and was excited to get... I defended him, and called for patience to let him grow into the role... I just knew he was gonna be something special... Well, he was special alright... Especially terrible...

RB Eric Shelton, Louisville, 2nd Round Carolina Panthers

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
