Name five untouchable players that you wouldn't trade for anything.

judge this however you want.

five players on the team that you think are the most important, are your favorite, or couldn't be replaced by better talent. also offer reasons, or don't whatever

1. Jon Beason - heart of defense, already best young 4-3 mlb in the game

2. Jeff Otah - injury concerns aside, he's a fuging plow at RT, young, and will only get better

3. Jordan Gross - almost completely injury free his whole career, can play all over the line, has hysterical ears

4. DeAngelo Williams - monster running back, elite speed and vision, can break tackles, gives the best interview on the team

5. Steve Smith - marginal receiver

Ditto. Although, I'm not following the Steve Smith - "marginal" idea. That is, if you're suggesting that he is a marginal receiver.

Otherwise, this is precisely the five I would name. I would throw Jake Delhomme in there, in the event that we do not have a logical replacement. At this point, we dont, so he would be in the top five ahead of Otah...for now.

1. Steve Smith- Best WR in the game and the flag bearer of the Carolina Panthers around the league

2. Jon Beason- A franchise player that you keep for his career. He is a total beast and is one of if not the best MLB in the game as mentioned by Fiz

3. Deangelo Williams- Just a great great player, was arguably the best RB in the league this season

4. T.Wharton- Becoming an elite LG and is the true anchor of the panthers oline imo

5. Thomas Davis- Still waiting for this guy to be all he can be, but when he does I think he and Beason will just be tremendous for us, more than they already are, quiet team player

Just missed Chris Harris, Otah, Gross. Really hard when you have to narrow it to 5.

Jon Beason-is anybody going to say anything different? Fast, solid pass defender as a linebacker, reliable tackler, hard hitter, and the best part is he's got his whole career ahead of him.

Steve Smith-Opens up the passing game for the entire offense. Constantly bails Jake out and has a QB's trust, which is really hard to earn, especially Jake's.

DeAngelo-Up-and-coming premier back in the league, still young, still has years ahead of him.

Jordan Gross-Most consistent lineman in Panthers history.

After those guys, I guess that's it for me. Just 4. I guess if we see 2 more good years out of him, and he gets even better, I'd add Otah to the list. Maybe Kalil as well. But they're young yet.

    • Dang, we might not be able to create the same magic from last year!
    • If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade. 
    • Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.
