Who is the hardest hitter on the Panther defense?

In prior years, it would have likely been Thomas Davis.  But as I mentioned elsewhere, Davis has progressed over time from being a pure 'headhunter' to a much more complete defender.  Not that he isn't still a hard hitter, mind you, but you don't see those bone-jarring, teeth-rattling hits from him as often as you once did.

 

So who owns the title now?  Is it still TD, or someone else?

I think we generally view it as a LB or S because those guys tend to have a full head of steam when they clock someone out in space, whereas a DE or DT is typically just coming off a block or maybe has a couple yards of space to run.

All things being equal, I think The Kraken is the person I'd least like to get hit by.

Carson Palmer agrees with me.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      Sure, there's definitely a chance that a fire sale in 2022 could've paid off but I don't think that's a certainty. It's not just about stockpiling the picks and bettering odds; it's about hitting on those picks, having a stable coaching staff to develop them, and keeping the locker room engaged. We didn't exactly have a model front office nor stable coaching staff in 2022. It's worth noting that part of the reason that DJ had to be included in the trade up for #1 was because the Bears needed an immediate, proven WR1 to help Fields. It was him or another immediate first-round pick, not a future one like what was being offered for Burns (whom teams knew that things were shaky with and that they could afford to wait). As for the Eagles, they recovered because the foundation was already in place. Pederson got flak and was ultimately fired (and was just fired again this offseason from the Jags). Their recovery was quick because the foundation was already in place: Howie Roseman and a solid roster (that included a stacked OL, a second year QB, and a veteran defense). Philly had a margin of error that just wasn't available to Carolina. I'm not against using the draft to rebuild, but a full-on teardown comes with real consequences: fan disengagement, a fractured locker room, poor development, a losing environment... and I don't believe that we had the necessary leadership at the time to cleanly navigate it. That's a gamble that I want no part of.  Now that we do have a staff that seems to be in complete alignment and building for the future rather than fighting for their jobs, I'm more inclined to observe their process and see where it leads rather than backseat driving with "perfect" hindsight.

      I see it a bit differently considering there is only 20M in cap space. Given how many of the premium positions are on rookie contracts their cap should not be nearly maxed out. Tillis still has a lot of work to do before these rookies will need a second contract.
