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!

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
