Which Player Deserves One More Shot?

[Guest Bwood]

Every year before the draft, we evaluate players that we hope to bring and make an immediate impact on this team. Last year many argued that Jimmy Clausen deserved one more shot to be the starting QB instead of taking Cam Newton. This year we find ourselves to be in the same position with a handful of players jobs being on out on the line.

With that being said, which player deserves to play one more year as a starter before we bring in someone via the draft to take over?

Terrell McClain/Sione Fua - possible replacement (Fletcher Cox, Michael Brockers, Devon Still, Jerell Worthy)

Captain Munnerlyn/Brandon Hogan - possible replacement (Dre Kirkpatrick, Stephon Gilmore, Janoris Jenkins)

Greg Hardy - possible replacement (Quinton Coples, Melvin Ingram, Nick Perry, Chandler Jones)

David Gettis/Armanti Edwards - possible replacement (Michael Floyd, Stephen Hill, Kendall Wright)

Thomas Davis - possible replacement (Luke Kuechly, Zach Brown, Lavonte David)

Sherrod Martin - possible replacement (Markelle Martin, George Iloka, Trumaine Johnson)

Geoff Hangartner, Mike Pollack - possible replacement (David DeCastro, Amini Silatolu, Kevin Zeitler)

Jeff Otah, Byron Bell - possible replacement (Riley Reiff, Jonathan Martin, Bobby Massie)

I'd like to see Hardy & Davis get another shot at it this year.

It sucks that players from each defensive position are up there. All areas of our D are due for an upgrade.

Brandon Hogan, Greg Hardy, David Gettis, Thomas Davis should be given a chance to proove they can do the job. Otah I am kind of on the fence about.

[Kramerica]

I'm hoping to see a lot more from David Gettis (now that we've got a more potent offensive attack) and Brandon Hogan (full offseason, injury-free, competing for a starting position).

Terrell McClain/Sione Fua - I'll trust the coaching staff opinion on this.

Captain Munnerlyn/Brandon Hogan - Hogan yes. Captain only in nickle packages

Greg Hardy - should only be situational.... so no.

David Gettis/Armanti Edwards - Gettis-hell yes. AE-Hell no!

Thomas Davis - of course he should but I think it'll take awhile for him to be 100%

Sherrod Martin - no

Geoff Hangartner, Mike Pollack - yes

Jeff Otah, Byron Bell - yes

I'd expect a big year from Otah with it being a contract year. Unless he's seriously injured, his butt will be on the field.

Not cpt. Not martin. They have proven they cant play. The rest just havent proven they can. If that makes any sense.

Hardy has a future in the league but I'd be more comfortable with him as a rotational player. He seems to be a low motor guy who might not have the stamina to be an everyplay end.

I truly think coples is the guy we draft

[The Special One]

Jeff Otah - If he can just stay healthy, we've got an excellent RT

One bad year isn't proof you can't play. The rest of their NFL resume isn't bad. Capt just isn't a #2. Godfrey has displayed much more crap play in Carolina than Martin. Neither S should be safe

Olindo Mare. Hopefully he shuts you irritating haters up

[top dawg]

Some, if not all, of these players are gonna get one more shot. That's how the Rivera handles his business.

Mare will always dwell in John Kasay's shadow within the minds of many Panthers fans. As such, Mare will never shut anyone up...unless he scores the winning kick in the Super Bowl.

Are you shitting me? Cap has beyond proven he is too small to be a starting corner in the nfl. Martín was too awful to think he can be saved.
