All-time worst Panther starters?

[Panthers8969]

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

Stephen Davis. Really?

[Cyberjag]

LT- Byron Bell

LG - Mackenzie Bernadeau

C- Justin Hartwig

RG- Nate Newton

RT- Matt Willig

 

Hartwig was an all-pro in Tennessee, and didn't to terrible here when he had to start.  The problem with him was that he was signed and immediately got injured.  By the time he was fully recovered we had Kalil, and didn't need him or his contract.

Stephen Davis. Really?

Only 2005 Stephen Davis.

[Carolina Husker]

Clausen was the worst QB I've ever seen at the NFL level.

Evan Mathis was god awful when he was with us too. However, I think he was a prime example of the lack of coaching we had there at the time.

Are we picking a player from one season or overall? Because some of these players had good careers but just bad 1 bad season with us.

I also believe players like Jeremy Bridges, Keydrick Vincent and Mackenzie Bernardeau were decent players for us and we have had way worse.

Safety seems like our worst position with guys like Shawn Williams, Deke Cooper, Colin Branch, Thomas Decoud, and Ron Harper was pretty bad until the end of the season.

I also thought Ron Edwards got hurt and never played for us, or maybe he played two games before he got hurt.

I think you go with the player in his prime, and take into account what they did over the course of their career.  That's the only way to really scrape up the bottom of the barrel and deliver a steaming pile of bad roster.  Otherwise, you end up with a bunch of schlubs who were battling injury or at the beginning or end of their careers when they were in Carolina.  And they had to actually EARN starts because there was no one better, not due to injury (sorry Tony Pike).

 

What scares you more, the prospect of Jimmy Clausen as your QB or Matt Moore?  Clausen outplayed Moore, but with Moore you had other seasons you could take comfort in--you knew he was capable of being better.  Clausen HAS to be the more terrifying prospect.  And his comparison should be Weinke, actually...

These have to be locks

 

Clausen at QB: Hands are too small to hold a football.

Foster at RB: More career fumbles than TDs.

Dwayne Jarrett: More career DUIs than TDs.

Fua: the defensive equivalent to Bell at LT.

If one play could define Byron Bell at LT it's this one just posted on Twitter

Wasn't he injured in 2005? 

[TheWiz]

Althought he's not the worst... I do want to give a shout out to Tshimanga Biakabutuka...
