Who was your Jay Cutler?

Since I live in Chicago, these Bears fans were just ecstatic about getting Jay Cutler and I thought to myself, what great player did we acquire that had me going crazy over? In essence, my Jay Cutler to the Panthers was probably Dwayne Jarrett. I can't remember a single moment that I was more excited about than getting Dwayne Jarrett in the draft.

wow. i didn't feel that way towards him. I thought it was a bad choice at the time and thought we'd go with someone with some more speed and w/o the USC links. but to each his own, i guess.

i was extremely excited when we got d-will. i actually called that pick, but i didn't believe he would fall so far. i was estatic

I picked DeAngelo Williams serving as the Panthers GM for Chris Spielman's radio Mock Draft Party that year, and was thrilled when we actually got him.

(couple of people online told me I should have gone with LenDale White)

good call. in retrospect, how glad are we that we didn't take Lendale White?

I remember some excitement when Reggie White was signed. Yes, he was obviously in decline at that point in his career, but itwas hoped by many that he would instill some 'tude in the defense, and teach some of the younger players on both the O and D lines...

On the other hand, when Sean Gilbert came here, it was (for me anyways) a huge disappointment. Anyone who can say, with a straight face, that he held out for an additonal $500 k because God told him to (which is what he did say about his 'Skin days) just dosn't come across as the kind of guy I can believe in to stem the other guys running attack!

    • Right...I think they've done really well. No one's going to bat 1000% but they've addressed areas of need and there's no comparison to the overall talent of the team now than when DC and then Morgan got the reigns. This whole season is about seeing how much of a step up can Bryce and this team make. If Bryce can't and last year is as good as it gets for him then at least we have a talented roster for the next guy. I think we're going to be good this season 
    • I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.   
    • IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.
