Thought this would be kind of fun. Lets list any Free Agent signings that the Panthers have made since their inception. Also list whether they were a bust or actually were a good signing

I start with Kevin Greene. One of my all time favorite players. He played crazy. If Peppers had his intensity, Pepps would be unstoppable. Definitley not a bust

You guys do realize that all free agent history is available via the Panthers website, right?

Oh well, I'll bite.

Those that I consider good or solid acquisitions:

John Kasay

Sam Mills

Frank Reich

Steve Beuerlein

Kevin Greene

Wesley Walls

Brentson Buckner

Jake Delhomme

Ricky Prohel (one of my favs. Wish we had him earlier in his career)

Ken Lucas (he was awesome his first/second season with the Panthers)

Maake Kemoeatu

Damione Lewis (with Maake, made an awesome run-stuffing line)

Interesting picks

Steve Bono (can't believe we actually signed the guy that backed up many other franchise QB's. lol)

Tyler Brayton (yet to be seen if he'll grow)

Keydrick Vincent (looks to be a fantastic signing)

The funny thing is that if you look at the players the Panthers let walk in free agency, none of them really panned out in their next team. Only a few either maintained or expanded their stats (Joe Nedney is still a very solid kicker for the niners, Ricky Manning Jr. had a good 2005 season with the Bears, Will Witherspoon had two great seasons with the Rams after leaving Carolina, Marlon McCree played two good years with the Chargers.)

Seems like the Panthers know what players to let go. No huge losses.

If you think that Jake Delhomme is "arguable" as to him being a bust or not your nuts. David Carr are Keyshawn Johnson bust. Someone who keeps you competitive for 5 years and has one bad night does not make him a bust.

Jeff Lewis was a bust

DJ Hackett was a bust

Justin Hartwig was a bust

Sean Gilbert was a fat bust

Sean Gilbert was not a bust. If you look at his numbers for those first few years as a Panther, they compare well to the top DTs at the time. They actually are as good as Hayneworth last year, Jenkins, Sapp, many others. The front office was the bust by not working the deal to lessen the franchise player hit before making the offer to him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
