What was the Panthers best draft class?


Happy Panther

Recommended Posts

I gotta go 07 right now, we got two perennial pro bowlers/all pros, one player on the cusp of that level, and two special teams aces. (Rosario and Wilson) And if Rosario can break out this year as a top flight TE that will definitely solidify 07 as one of the best NFL draft classes in recent memory.

The verdict is still out on 08. The only proven commodities we have so far are JStew who would be the starter on almost any other team in the league, Connor who we still haven't found a place for yet, but could be a very solid starting MLB, and Godfrey who is an average to good safety who is still improving. Then you have Otah, Barnidge, Hayden and Schwartz who are all still big ?s IMO.

The 2001 draft class, we had 3 potential HOFers, but all fell short of their potential. Morgan couldn't stay healthy, Jenkins couldn't stay out of the pantry and Smitty never had a consistent offense around him.

    • I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two. 
    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
