Who was the most disappointing player or players this year, in your opinion?

1. Gregg Olsen - I still think he is a great player and I am glad he is on the team, but I really expected so much more from him. This is probably more my own high expectations than his fault. I was big on him when he came out of college and when we got him I was hoping for similar numbers that he had in Chicago. He just seemed to have a lot of drops and a few fumbles if I am not mistaken

2. Olindo Mare - I was not expecting him to be great, but he was without a doubt a big let down. It is hard to fill the shoes of Kasey.

3. Sherrod Martin - Worst part of an already bad defense. I am really hoping for a lights out safety in the near future.

I was going to put him in, but I gave him a pass because of not being able to train with the staff in the off season. I know that is not much of an excuse, but I think when you are that BIG, healing is probably tough. We will see next year, maybe?

I have a few issues with Olsen, but you cannot call him a disappointment. He was built up by some to be more than he is. By any measure he was very productive and that should continue.

To me, it is Martin, by far. I know he has become sort of a lightning rod for obvious reasons, but he looked like a promising young player at one point. Not so much now.

Honorable mention to Fua, but he is still very young.

Mare doesn't warrant discussion.

Olsen was not a disappointment

Shockey just cut into his production. And without him our offense wouldn't be nearly as explosive especially early in the season.

Olsen was a disappointment because 1) he had some big drops in games like the Detroit & Atlanta games, which led to stalled drives and the start of defensive collapses despite his hands supposedly being so "great", and 2) he does not play PHYSICAL enough. Almost always gets brought down by the first tackler, and if you touch his legs, he's going down.

That's why Olsen was disappointing. He's supposed to be like this TE/WR hybrid, and at times he seemed to be an outcast out on the field, and it showed, as his production seemed to wane late in the season even as the Panthers started finishing games.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
