Sean Gilbert ended up being an average player who absolutely was not worth what Carolina gave up for him. In my mind that's more a failure of the front office rather than Gilbert's - I don't know that anyone could have successfully fulfilled those expectations.

True. It was like a collective FO "C'mon Man!"

I wasn't expecting much from Pickles to be honest... he just proved my doubts to be right.

 

 

Can't fault Nelson. The kid had talent, but degenerative knees kept him from fulfilling his dreams. I felt sorry for him more than anything.

 

 

The Gilbert fiasco was the worst trade we've ever done, and we've had some doozies (thanks again Hurney Magic!). The guy was expected to do great things.. the problem was, he didn't even do average things. I blame that more on him than the FO, although they get the donkey punch for being stupid enough to give away that much in the first place. Eric Shelton, any USC receiver we draft, any FA Lineman we trade/paid big bucks for, and He who shall not be named all are in this discussion.

 

 

For a positive spin though, maybe we should also do a thread with top 5 overachievers: Guys you thought wouldn't be much, but really turned it up when called upon. (IE: Goings, Hoov, etc).

Deshaun Foster.

 

Foster came through with some big games for us in the playoffs.........remember the Rams game and the Philly NFC champ game?

 

I thought he was pretty good for a number 2.......

 

 

Jimmy Clausen was the biggest bust not only for the Panthers but in all of NFL history........lol!

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By PootieNunu · Posted

      It's funny how the teams with the great QBs stay at or near the top of the league every season.  Yes it is a team game, but the QB has the biggest impact in most NFL football games.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By d-dave · Posted

      Look, no one is ever a perfect player.  Since the QB handles the ball on 100% of plays offensively (unless there's a direct snap to a RB or something), I can absolutely see where they get an outsized blame and gain from what happens at any given snap of a football game.   Theoretically, there shouldn't even be a stat or idea to a 4th quarter comeback or game winning drive because you should already have done that during the game.  Losers!  Right?  Just because you win late doesn't take away the fact you tried to lose the game for your team! I'm not a fan of that opinion, but again, I'm just a moron with a keyboard.   Bryce has limited tools.  Bryce has not inspired the same level of confidence in us as Cam Newton did in year 3.  I certainly get that.  We traded a TON of assets to get Bryce, and we still suck.  (I mean, since we've lost games, we're losers right?) I completely understand that some fans are just unhappy with a limited QB and a team that isn't performing well, unless the other teams are worse losers than we are. I will say this:  Bryce will fight until the end.  Sure, he's has some real loser football.   But in close games, he's doing his best to comeback (even against a winner of prevent D). Now is it better or worse if your QB plays their best ball in the first half and sucks 2nd half so long as they finish with 300 yards, 3 TDs for your fantasy points? Who said stats are for winners anyway?  The Panthers and Bryce has a long way to go.  I'm enjoying the winning right now.  Though I do start each game thinking "how will we fug this up today?" Because it's been such a poo show in the Tepper era.  Will he prove to be a legit starting NFL QB?  Maybe not here as evidence by our record with QBs who were high draft picks.

      Ive never liked the term game winning drives because they include games where the QB was part of or was the reason the team was behind in the first place. Ive been arguing against this stat since the Delhomme years. It should only count when the QB is out of the equation of reasons why the team fell behind in the first place and is at least half the reason why he led the last drive to give them a lead. It shouldnt count if they just hand it off most of the time and the RB is on fire and they go down and score a TD or FG.
