Brayton/Johnson Appreciation Thread

Dear Tyler Brayton and Charles Johnson,

Us Panther fans will just have to come to terms with the fact that holding is not going to be called on any tackle Julius Peppers faces. Is he still effective? Sure. However, it's become painfully obvious that you cannot get consistent pressure with one premiere pass rusher. Pass rushing, whether it be off a blitz, or just a 4-man rush, is a team effort.

We sincerely appreciate the fact that you both have stepped up recently, and are finding your niche on this team. If this team ends up making some kind of post-season run, I think we all know that both of you gentlemen will have played your part in making our defensive line something to be feared.

Signed,

Panther faithful

I've tried to accept the fact they won't call holding on whoever is lined up across Pep,but it is often too obvious to have been ignored,so I end up getting pissed about it anyway. Isn't there anything the Panthers could do as far as making an official complaint to the NFL about it?I know there is no crying in football,but damn,it's just so friggin' obvious and often!

Charles Johnson looks like the future starting defensive end across peppers for years to come since he's only 22..my guess is that hes not starting now is cuz hes still a little to raw

Charles Johnson is weak against the run thats why he mostly plays on third down, or other obvious pass plays. He does have one wicked bull rush though. Hopefully hell become a more rounded player in which case he could be great.

I hope Hilee Taylor is healthy enough to play come postseason. He could even add more to a line that is just now really starting to find it's pass rush. I'd like to see our ends rotated in the line a bit more as well.

Well ............... when our defense does what it is supposed to, they will be out there only 3 plays at a time. :lol: Not much time for rotating. Actually, we rotate more than most defenses.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
