Who is the Panthers biggest draft bust?


Mr. Scot

Kerry Collins is up there--his play was OK, but he did not want to be here or a teammate.

Rashard Anderson sucked.

To me, the Armanti Edwards pick was so stupid (even thought it was a third rounder) it has to be included because it was the dumbest pick (even dumber than Clausen)--giving away the 33rd pick in the draft to take a tiny, small school QB to convert to punt returner / wildcat qb / WR. What the hell was Marty thinking? We needed the draft more than ever that year because we were not doing a thing in free agency. The pick followed Marty's attempt to move up for Clausen. Marty sucked.

Jimmy Clausen was being compared to Kurt Warner and had people saying that he should have been the #1 overall pick. We were unanimously praised when we took him. Despite him being a fine young male I got excited and bought the hype.

Pickles is and hopefully forever will be our biggest bust.

I made a very lengthy post once about how Clausen was the best choice at that time.

We needed a QB BADLY, took him, and look at the rest of the players from that draft and it is not like we passed up on anyone worth a damn.

    • It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).   
    • Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️
    • It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
