Death by a thousand cuts..DE position on the ropes

Hamstring problems can be an injury that lingers all season and Johnson has a problem. Don't be suprised if this drags on all season long. Alexander goes down and is done. Don't know what to expect out of Ealy this year ( one step foward and three steps back it seems). Addison is situational and just not stout enough to be a starter.  Horton should be a back up at best. The only player that is big and bad enough to command an offense to take notice of is K.K. With the QB's coming up very soon, no pass rush equals shredded defense. What can and will they do if Johnson is out. Designed blitzes can only do so much and a skilled QB will kill those more times then not. Opinions please on what the next move is to fill this void.

I thought Ealy was garbage today and I'm sure his PFF grade will show it again. He didn't even try on that last Saints TD. 

Our d-line is in big trouble, IMO. Even though we won and are 3-0 im not drinking the "oh we won so stfu and enjoy the win and don't be negative" coolaid. We'll probably be fine next week against the Bucs, but that Packers game will be brutal.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.

      Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
