All-time worst Panther starters?

[KillerKat]

Took too long to mention. Matt wiling.....

Like I said, we've had some really bad o-linemen over the years. Just like our safety position. It can be easy to pick another pile of poo over another pile of poo.

A defense that would make any offense look good...

DE: Jason Peter, Chuck Wiley

DT: Nick Hayden, Sione Fua

LB: Lester Towns, Na'il Diggs, Hannibal Navies

CB: Sherrod Martin, Rashard Anderson

FS: Haruki Nakamura

SS: Damien Richardson

Diggs wasn't bad at all

Shout out to Armanti.

Amini is worse than Vincent was

Brian St. Pierre

Foucault/Chandler

Hard to argue against

[Chimera]

In no particular order:

QB - Jimmy Clausen (goes without saying)

HB - Lamar Smith/2005 Stephen Davis (both averaged 3.5 YPC)

WR - D.J. Hackett, Rae Carruth, Louis Murphy, Dwayne Jarrett

LT/RT - Byron Bell

DE - Jason Peters

DT - Sione Fua, Ron Edwards

K - Justin Medlock

KR/PR - Joe Adams

I have to disagree on your running backs. Lamar Smith was all we had for the half season he played. Everybody knew we were running. We had no line. He still averaged 3.5.

In 2005, Stephen Davis was nothing more than a short yardage / goal line back. Look at his TDs and 1st down stats.

DJ Hackett was not a starter. He alternated the third WR spot with Jarrett during the 2008 run fest season.

Olindo Mare was a million times worse than Medlock.

Ron Edwards did his job. He was a run stopper and nobody ran against us when he was in the lineup.

And lol @ Edwards over Hayden

How could Foster or Captain be on anyone's list? Overrated yes, but far from worst

Half of you guys have a 4 year memory. Others don't know what starter means. 

 

I don't have time to go over everything but names like Chris Weinke, Darrin Hambrick, Scott Greene, Matt Willig, Lamar Smith, Isaac Byrd, Shayne Graham, Michael Gaines, Colin Branch all deserve consideration. How about this, Jermaine Wiggins started 11 games at TE for us one year with 8 catches. 

 

There is no reason for Rae Carruth to be on anyone's list because the reasoning has nothing to do with football. "Worst Starter" suggests they were starting without that talent required to start. Carruth had the talent and some production. He was just a despicable human being.

Captain certainly belongs. We've had Eric Davis, Doug Evans, Terry Cousins, Ricky Manning, Reggie Howard, Chris Gamble, Ken Lucas, Melvin White, Josh Norman as corners expected to start. Yes there have been worse corners that were backups that started a few games due to injury. But if you're talking about those expected to start, Captain was one of the worst, if not the worst corner.

I've never seen a starter picked on and abused more than him. Easy INTs that just fall into his lap that not even Armanti Edwards could drop don't count. Ricky Manning is close behind, but at least he was decent. Same for the others I mentioned. Munnerlyn as a starting CB just simply could not cover. The only times he could is when he held on for dear life which drew penalties or he was facing subpar receivers. Our front 7 masked a lot more of his lack of coverage skills as well.

Those putting DeShaun Foster as all time worst are just hating on him for not panning out. He had legit top 10 talent. HIs career was ruined by injuries much like other Panther RB's. Sure he was a disappointment but the ability was there for a time.

 

Foster. Deangelo, TIm B and Stewart are probably the most talented RB's we've ever drafted and you can make an argument that each one is a bust. Personally the worst has to be either Smart or Robinson if you put them in a starting role. At least Foster could take it to the house in his prime.
