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!

    • No, I'm starved for contention. If you can't see that and keep wanting to turn things like this back around on T-Mac, then you're just either being purposefully obtuse, or is a fan who is happy having 5-6 win seasons just because we're so used to the 3-4 win seasons and you like "just being better"
    • Chiefs had zero penalties last night
    • You mean the guy who took over a franchise that hadn't had a losing season in the previous 4 seasons... who proceeded to get his team into the playoffs in 3 of his first 4 seasons, only to win 2 games in said playoffs, to then go on to having a 54-74 career record and never won another playoff game after those first two? Who then after being fired from that job, took over a team that was 30-18 in the 3 seasons before he got the job, got into the playoffs that first season, lost their first postseasons game, and then went on to have a 6-26 record over the next 2 seasons? You're literally proving my point by bringing up someone who's claim to fame is that quote. If you just play to win the game, you're never going to be a successful franchise.  You need to play to win the game while ALSO working to make your players better.  Having the former without the latter is a picture perfect recipe to become a stagnant franchise. That's how you work towards being a winning franchise who can contend in the postseason.  And sure, having a stagnant franchise that makes the playoffs every other season is better than what we currently are, but that's not what I strive for with our Panthers, I want to actually contend for championships in my lifetime.
