Former Panther you'd most like to have back

I look at this a bit differently. Not so much, who we should have kept, but rather who would I take back.

I'd take Collins back now, certainly. It's taken him 8 years and a trip through Betty Ford to become that QB though. This is the first year that his team has been successful because of, rather than in spite of him. We will see if the four game streak lasts.

 

Ray Ray Carruth. I got dis bitch I need offed.

 

Howard Griffith is out of the NFL - he don't count.

BUT - we need to sign Lorenzo Neal.

 

Are we talking in their prime??? or now??? there are a FEW I'd like to have in their prime

 

as of right now, sure, I'd take Collins back.
I'd still have taken Howard back, and we'd have had a lot more success than we had. I can't say that about that many other than Sam, who retired, and that includes Collins. Past that I can't think of anyone who's still out there that I'd like to have back.
