Most Disappointing Panther This Year?

Honestly C.Johnson, He did not even finish in the top 15 in sacks this year. He was also man handled in a few games this year.

He finished with 9.5 sacks despite crap at defensive tackle all season long and piss poor coverage. That doesn't even factor in how great his run defense was whenever teams ran at him. He's no Reggie White but I'd say he had a damn good year considering the circumstances.

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

Olsen was far from a disappointment this year IMHO.

As far as similar numbers, he was only 100 or so yards and 3 TDs away from career highs. In Carolina, he plays in a two TE system; in Chitownin 09, (his best statistical year) he was their #1 option.

He has also been used much more as a blocker/FB here than he ever was in Chicago bc Lovie didn't believe he could block.

Olsen also only had one fumble this year. Although, he did have a few key drops as TheOracle mentioned above.

I don't see how you can be disappointed by 500+ yds and 5 TDs out of a 3rd round pick.

He is a (well) above average TE in the NFL, and if for some reason we don't resign Shockey, you will see Olsen easily put up top 5 TE #s in our system.
