Most Disappointing Panther This Year?

[o803oVaDeR]

Who was the most disappointing player or players this year, in your opinion?

1. Gregg Olsen - I still think he is a great player and I am glad he is on the team, but I really expected so much more from him. This is probably more my own high expectations than his fault. I was big on him when he came out of college and when we got him I was hoping for similar numbers that he had in Chicago. He just seemed to have a lot of drops and a few fumbles if I am not mistaken

2. Olindo Mare - I was not expecting him to be great, but he was without a doubt a big let down. It is hard to fill the shoes of Kasey.

3. Sherrod Martin - Worst part of an already bad defense. I am really hoping for a lights out safety in the near future.

The ACLs of Thomas Davis and Jon Beason. Oh and Otah for once again not making it thru a full season.

I was going to put him in, but I gave him a pass because of not being able to train with the staff in the off season. I know that is not much of an excuse, but I think when you are that BIG, healing is probably tough. We will see next year, maybe?

I have a few issues with Olsen, but you cannot call him a disappointment. He was built up by some to be more than he is. By any measure he was very productive and that should continue.

To me, it is Martin, by far. I know he has become sort of a lightning rod for obvious reasons, but he looked like a promising young player at one point. Not so much now.

Honorable mention to Fua, but he is still very young.

Mare doesn't warrant discussion.

Olsen was not a disappointment

Shockey just cut into his production. And without him our offense wouldn't be nearly as explosive especially early in the season.

Olsen was a disappointment because 1) he had some big drops in games like the Detroit & Atlanta games, which led to stalled drives and the start of defensive collapses despite his hands supposedly being so "great", and 2) he does not play PHYSICAL enough. Almost always gets brought down by the first tackler, and if you touch his legs, he's going down.

That's why Olsen was disappointing. He's supposed to be like this TE/WR hybrid, and at times he seemed to be an outcast out on the field, and it showed, as his production seemed to wane late in the season even as the Panthers started finishing games.
