KK to be Great

[DaveThePanther2008]

Nice article on KK.  I think he can be great.

Interesting situation approaching.  Two young star quality DTs.  Yeah, Yeah, Yeah Gettleman is going to do his magic and keep both but for just for argument.

 You can only keep one.  Do you keep Star or do you Keep Short?

For me.  Short would get the nod just because he seems to be on the floor longer.

KK for health reasons and versatility. They are both great in very different ways, I think Star is the better DT and demands more attention personally.

Short, not paying someone who can't stay healthy

We will keep Short as he will still be cheaper to resign than Star based on his draft position. As for Star, let's see what he does this year and next. Hard to say which will be better by the time we have to resign them.

It is possible because we have Star under the option year to actually get both done a year apart.  Especially since we have Luke already tied up. 

Star clearly is a beast but seems to miss a lot of games.   KK is more versatile.

We made the mistake with Witherspoon and Morgan, I hope we don't do it again!

No one could have predicted the Concussions Morgan would get.  It was too bad we let him walk.  I liked the way Witherspoon played.

Draft position after the fact has nothing to do with who will be paid more after the rookie deal. 

Whoever played better on the field will be getting paid more. 

Short was a massive steal in the draft. Easily the best pass rushing DT in that draft. Dumb ass GM's

[Jackofalltrades]

If keep shirt because of his skill set. While he's very good at rushing the passer he's very underrated against the run.I love Star, but KK is the better, all around, of the two. I also believe a good 3 tech is much harder to find than a 0 or 1.

Spoon wanted the money dude.  He left Carolina because he thought he could be a mike and get paid mike money elsewhere (which he did).

 

It would have been a mistake to have kept Spoon IMO at the price it would have taken.

Star is underrated when compared to Short by many Panther fans.  Too many only notice the flash,  but fail to realize that it's Star pushing the pocket taking up multiple blockers.  Much of the flash everyone likes is because of the unflashy work Star does.

Both Star and Short are vital to our defense.  Our defense starts with the front seven, so if Gettleman has to make a future cap choice, he'll pass on signing Norman to make sure he has the space to sign both DT's.  So, I have no doubts that Gettleman will get both signed, we can easily stagger the big cap hits.
