Thank god D.G picked Star instead of.....

[Jmac]

Some on here complained that S.Richardson was and is better then Star. S.L has been an upstanding citizen and has and will be a dominating tackle for years to come. The above mentioned is now suspended four games and has been arrested for driving 143 mpg in his Bently and fleeing from police in July  with a minor in the car ( the news just hitting now).

D.G knew what kind of person and player he was getting in Star. Sure he had a down year last season,  but the guy is a beast and will come back strong. Good choice on our GM's part.

Dude was high and had a loaded gun in the car too... with a minor while running from the cops at speeds up to 143 MPH, and running red lights and poo...

Yeah, dude is fuged.  That's way worse than any domestic violence case.

i too nearly panicked when i saw this non-panther football topic

words too live by as a GM..............."do your due diligence".

Star plays for us, and that was the draft pick toss up, so it is Panthers related. +2 points. "THAN"! Better THAN Star. -96 points.

some freakin idiots still don't trust nipple shorts. Just like his shorts, he never lets us down

Aside from all this, from a football perspective he didn't really make much sense as a pick for us.  Generally in a 4-3 defense you have 1 space eating DT and 1 DT who is a little lighter and explosive.  We had desperately needed a big time space eating DT whereas we already had Dwan Edwards and were targeting Kawann short, so we already had a plan for the more explosive DT.

Basically what I'm saying is that say Sheldon and Star swapped teams/roles, neither would be playing as good as they are.

Wasn't Richardson drafted before Star? How do we give GMan credit for that?

That's why the Jets are the Jets...also picked a guy named Hill a few years earlier. I  doubt D.G would have picked S.R if the Jets did pick Star....even if S.R was a top ten talent that was falling also like Star.

I don't think Star had a down year last year. He ended up having a +6.9 PFF grade. He also dealt with an ankle injury mid-season from the Eagles game. And you can't understate the absence of Greg Hardy. It took a while for our defense to adjust to that. Also, he started heating up towards the end of the season. He dominated vs the Falcons with 2 sacks and 7 tackles.

We learned our lesson with low-character first round picks in the 90s. I think our nearly spotless track record of first-round picks (both on and off the field) since then has proven us right in avoiding them.
