Which Player Deserves One More Shot?


Guest Bwood

Recommended Posts

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)

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

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

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

    • There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.
    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
