making hard choices is part of having good players. Even with Johnson's albatross contract coming to an end, the Panthers are not going to be able to keep Norman, Star, and KK long term. Trai and Norwell are going to want money too. 

Luckily the Panthers are entering a period where they'll be able to attract cheap veterans who want a shot at a ring, and hopefully Gettleman keeps drafting well and finding those high value/low cost free agents.

Also if I was coleman I'd be holding the fug out after the year I just had.

That's why the Panthers defense is so brutal to scheme against because they have a legit Superstar All Pro talent at every level.  Short on the line, Luke in the middle, and Norman in the secondary.  How many teams have that kind of talent at every level of the defense?  That doesn't even include TD, Star, CJ, Coleman, and the young guys like Ealy and Shaq who are playing awesome.

star won't demand that big of a contract. top ten money for his position bottoms out at 6 a year, which we can afford when charles johnson's hit clears

Kawann is probably looking at $12-14M a year with the way 3 tech DT contracts have been trending.

I think this thread is a ridiculous hot take. Don't overthink this: it's obviously Kuechly as it's been every year he's been here. We won every game he missed? Those games were Jacksonville (he only missed second half), Houston (came close to losing to Ryan Mallett), New Orleans (came even closer to losing to Luke McCown), and Tampa Bay. We've been mostly murdering teams from the point Kuechly returned.

It's Norman or Luke.  I love KK, but we've always had a dominant pass rush, but never have we had a shut down corner to go along with that.  Norman has been that and much more, Defensive MVP is his for sure.  

KK's not even the best DT in the conference.  Hello Aaron Donald.  While there is no competition for J-No right now in the NFC.  

Yeah man, Aaron Donald is a freak of nature.  That's obviously no slight to Short, but AD is just crazy.

Corey Liuget is a good comparison point

ehh look at his 2014 statline before he got that contract. it blows star's production out of the water. star is a very good 4-3 NT which will give him leverage more so than say a 3-4DE like liuget but i don't see star commanding more than 5/40m on an open market, not based on this as a contract year (tho he could play next year on the option)

Did you just say we've always had a dominant pass rush lol? You mean as long as you've been a fan?

I meant recently.  As long as I've been a fan?  Coming from a guy that pulls for the Miami Hurricanes, Carolina Panthers, and I don't even want to know the other teams, but is born and raised in Cali?  That's really rich, extremely rich.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.

      The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
