Future Starters

Some of these other threads had me thinking about the future of our current starters. Looking back at the Panthers' short history made me realize that not too many players that have started for us at one point have gone on to have great careers with other teams. We have been able to keep most of our really good players.

Some on this brief list include Collins, Wiggins, & potentially Hang'man

Now my question: Which current starter do you see not finishing his career with the Panthers however going on to have a respectable career somewhere else?

Imo, I can't see Wharton and Thomas Davis lasting with us for their entire careers and would definitely do great even post-departure.

wharton just signed a long contract. what do you think is going to happen with him?

i see one of the running backs (including goodson) going on to rush for 1200 yds with the bengals in 2014 or something like that.

obvious peppers reference here as well.

other than that, i just don't know.

I was thinking way in the future. Wharton could have a 13 year career. He seems durable for the most part.

      It's not even a particularly nuanced opinion, yet it seems out of reach for so many.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think he can be great. For me he tops out as starter maybe make the playoffs, stuff like that. I would have been okay with that kind of player as a placeholder but you don’t invest the time and assets we did and be happy with that.  On the cure,If a guy has mechanical flaws but otherwise is enticing, you let someone else make the mistake of taking him in the top of the 1st. If he doesn’t get taken you can pick him up 2nd or 3rd day and try to develop him (off the bench not starting).  The risk/reward with Bryce was horribly misjudged. I didn’t want to trade like that in the first place because I didn’t see the generation talent that justifies that type of move, but once it was done CJ was the better gamble. No doubt.

      That's what I mean. If you claim to possess some super knowledge about the QB position from a previous non-football but football related job, wouldn't you want to expound upon that to support this "everyone doesn't know anything about being a QB" thesis? The rest is just summed up by stating that there are a lot of variables to a QB being successful. Yeah....I mean that isn't earth shattering.  While there is certainly a lot of luck involved in all manners of success, consistent success with the variables around you also changing on a regular basis is usually fairly conclusive.  Is Trent Dilfer the same as Tom Brady? Is Nick Foles the same as Patrick Mahomes? I supposed based on the OP's arguments, they are. That's not really the way it turned out, however.  The NFL isn't unlike most other jobs or even other sports. The cream typically does rise to the top on a more consistent basis. Is it accidental that premier poker players seem to win or perform very well on a consistent basis, give that any individual hand is largely luck?
