lol. With this type of stat you would think we would be on the footsteps of greatness due to consistently picking high in the draft and maximizing those picks to add a ton of talent to the roster. Our 1st, 2nd and 3rd round picks from those years should be ready to emerge as stars.

2009: (no first round selection), Everette Brown, Sherrod Martin and Corvey Irvin

2010: (no first round selection), Jimmy Clausen, Brandon Lafell and Armanti Edwards

2011: Cam Newton, (no second round selection), Terrell McClain, and Sione Fua

To make things a little worse, here are players of the same position- or a need that were picked after our above mentioned studs:

2009: Connor Barwin (taken 4 picks after Everette Brown)...very good player for the Texans

2009: Sean Smith (taken 2 picks after Sherrod Martin)....solid starter in the dolphins secondary

2009: Henry Melton (taken 12 picks after Corvey Irvin)....solid starter on the Bears d-line

2010: Mike Iupati (taken at our spot in the 1st by San Fran)... solid starter on the 49ers o-line

2010: Jimmy Clausen (given our QB situation, i'm not going to knock this pick)

2010: Jimmy Graham or Navorro Bowman (taken 2 and 4 picks after Armanti)....damn

I won't do 2011 yet, because it is still too early, however the 65th pick in that draft (T. McClain) is already off the team, and the 98th pick (Brandon Hogan) is on season ending IR and has lost his position to a 5th round rookie and a 5-9" 7th round pick.

(hindsight is 20-20, blah blah blah)

This is all common knowledge yet every time I see it in writing it makes me want to puke. That is PATHETIC drafting for a team that claims to build through the draft. PATHETIC!

you can't trade away picks if you want to build thru the draft.

I live and die with this team from September to December. Sometimes (rarely) I get to during January and February as well. I buy my panthers gear, wear it to the sports bar, get into altercations (typically verbal but sometimes more) over them. It ruins my Sunday and Monday when they lose. My wife hates it and asks why I even watch because I always seem pissed off. But that rare moment when they win a game and I'm glowing, she loves it. I wish they out a better product on the field but like the other guy said, at the end of the day it is what it is. I couldn't switch teams if I wanted to. Something panthers related comes on and it gets my undivided attention. Other teams I'm meh about. These shitty times will hopefully make it that much better when (if) we get back to the Super Bowl and win one.

This is why I have to stop watching games for a while. Its become so detrimental to my personal life I can't keep doing it. I will never stop being a fan and when game time comes its going to be hard but its for the greater good.

Yea his cap management is OK

Can't believe anyone is still saying this. Hurney's cap management is horrible. He wastes money retaining players we don't use, that are injury prone, have a history of under performing or are past their prime.

The actual positions of need go without being addressed because there is no money left to spend after he is finished overpaying players on ill advised contracts.

Well since 2008 we've won more games than the rams lol...

Since 2006 as well...

A Panther point of pride no doubt.

It would look good flashing on the BoA large screens during this Sunday's game. I can see it now:

"Your Carolina Panthers... We've won more games than the St Louis Rams since 2006!!!!!!!!!"

That should really fire up all the PSL owners!

JR would be lucky if the fans didn't burn down the stadium after they saw that message.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
