Let me start this out by saying, I am not bitching and moaning about anything, just pointing out a mistake that a beat writer for a team should not be making.

 

That said, this is a quote from one of David Newton's articles on ESPN (link):

Quote

Who else could be factor? Don’t overlook Mario Addison. He’s Carolina’s best pure pass-rusher. His pressure on the second play against Seattle led to middle linebacker Luke Kuechly getting a pick-six. He led all Carolina defensive ends with six sacks during the regular season. He actually played two more snaps (25 to 23) than Ealy against Seattle.

Everyone should know that it was KK Short with the pressure on that play, not Addison. Addison was the one who had the pressure on the 2nd pick by Finnegan.

I thought KK had pressure on that first bad play, then it was Addison the second time...

I think you are talking about Star stuffing Lynch on first play (which would not be "pressure", just kick ass defense), KK had pressure on second play, first interception.

Addison had pressure on second interception.

Yea, I don't like Newton, but Addison was very effective as a speed rusher and helped lead to the second INT.  I think his skillset will come into play with such an immobile QB and a pass heavy team, so I think he's right that Addison could be an Xfactor for us.  This game, our speed rushers (him and Delaire) will be huge especially if KK and Star dominate the middle of the line like they did this past sunday.

Newton has been an idiot for some time this season. This was my favorite...

These Panthers' fans came to Seattle from Idaho. Didn't know they made Luke Kuechly jersey in DT size. Good timing for this couple on getting to see Kuechly. He is playing for the first time since suffering a concussion in the opener.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By fanpanther · Posted

      the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
