Charles Johnson makes PFF Top 100 of 2014 list

[SgtJoo]

86. Charles Johnson, DE, Carolina Panthers (Unranked)

 

Johnson is back on this list after missing it in 2013. He had to up his game with Greg Hardy suspended and so he did with the fourth-highest pass-rushing grade of all 4-3 defensive ends. The interesting thing about Johnson is how good he was in the second half of the year. He had 26 QB disruptions in the first half of the season and 37 in the second half, with his latter performances resembling his best.

 

Best Performance: Week 15, TB @ CAR, +6.4

 

Key Stat: His 72 quarterback disruptions were the most of any 4-3 defensive end.

Well he got healthy the second half of the year, so there's that.

Finally, I was avoiding that countdown because I didn't think hardly any panthers would make it other than luke and cam

[TN05]

If he plays like he did the last half of the year - and isn't leg-whipped - he could easily have a massive year -14 sacks is possible. He's easily the most underrated end in the league.

Olsen is #62

 

62. Greg Olsen, TE, Carolina Panthers (Unranked)

He’s not a guy who puts up the stats to wow you on a weekly basis, but his numbers on the year and sheer consistency make him invaluable to the Panthers. A chain-mover who makes life easier for his quarterback, he’s also a good enough blocker that he aids in that element of the game. Finished the year with the second-highest grade catching the ball of all tight ends.

Best Performance: Week 7, CAR @ GB, +3.0

Key Stat: His 1.88 yards per route run was second most of all tight ends.

Yea he did great if we cut the season in half.

CJ needs to step it up big time, he is being paid ridiculous money. He shouldn't need Hardy on the opposite end.

Moar!

Just like CJ didn't have Hardy in 2010, 2011 (Hardy only had 4 sacks that year), or last year?

I'm guessing this is PFF and not nfl.com?

Dude went out there hurt because we were decimated by injury. I appreciate what he did

Exactly. I was referring to last year, but previous years show what he is capable of, and why he is paid so much.

I understand he was hurt, but even he stated he needed to step it up during the season.

Can't invest 20 million in a DE and have him only preform with another elite DE and/or only half the year. That's game changing play pay.

I'd like to see him blow up 2015 like in years past.

He had the most QB disruptions of ANY 4-3 end and he did it WHILE HURT. What more do you want?

[PandaPancake]

He had the most QB disruptions of ANY 4-3 end and he did it WHILE HURT. Are you not entertained?

Ftfy

[Bartin]

He had 26 disruptions in the first half of the season and 37 disruptions in the second half of the season yet somehow had 72 disruptions on the year? You sure about that PFF? Counting the two playoff games?
