Sometime the hidden gems determine the fate of you team.Look at what Hardy and Josh Thomas contributed last year or Victor Cruz for the Giants.

 

My pick is Brandon Williams.He is an athletic freak at  6ft 4 and 250 lbs.The guy also has a great story. Some qualities I like about him is he is first and foremost he is a great athlete playing both football and basketball, he has taken care of his body, he graduated from college and shows he has initiative and brains. and finally he is humble and knows he will have to outwork everyone

Not including rookies, I'll go with Josh Thomas if we're talking about people that very few outsiders would have ever heard of that could contribute in a big way. 

 

If we're just talking about guys that haven't really played yet coming out of nowhere to contribute I'll hazard a guess at Lamont Bryant.

I think JThomas has already passed the litmus test by what he did last year.He is certainly a gem that I feel will continue to pay great dividends.There are not to many cbs that come out of nowhere like he did.Lamont Bryant seems to have all the assets.Robert Lester may also be one that surprises.

Bryant was the choice when this question was asked to a couple players.

 

 

It would be awesome if both Williams and Bryant turned the corner....you would have a big fast WR and TE.Our prayers would be answered .

Hoping B. Williams steps up. It'd be great to find a Gates type TE.

Really hoping that a WR not named Smith or LaFell steps up. But who? Got no clue.

I also think that Ginn will be HUGE for this team. We've been horrible in the return game for some time. As a result, we've had to drive 80+ yards more than not. Short field position will help the O. And will lead to more scoring drives. (Not really hidden tho)

Man I hope Bryant pans out.  Dude has Megatron-esque athletic freak levels... he has decent hands from what I remember seeing in that limited sample during preseason, and some other players seem high on him, just needs to polish up that route-running and other poo I guess.

 

Dude has all the physical potential in the world to be a future #1 if he steps his game up and improves on all the little ins and outs of being a WR.

Bryant was my guy who I hoped would really step up and show potential last year.  I still hope he can do it but then again I really liked Taye Biddle and we all see how that worked out.  I don't seem to do any better than the Panthers in liking guys who don't pan out.

      Off Season Thread

      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

      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.
