“I remember after I worked him out, I came back, and I talked to Sam Mills [III], who works with me with the defensive line,” says Washington. “I told him, ‘You know something, Sam? This guy is going to be better than his opponent before the ball is even snapped.’ That’s what we thought about his talent level. Without technique, without nuance, he’s just going to be better sometimes.”

I love reading these articles. Love everyone on our team. All of them!!

And clicking the story links down the side is well worth any time you have for reading. Good stories, all.

Here's Star's mom. Didn't want to stat another thread just for the picture. Maybe, story coming?

Thanks.  Great link.  I was at MMQB earlier today, but missed this.  Dang.  So many good Panthers articles being posted this week.  No time to read them all, but am bookmarking them for the offseason when desperate for a Panthers fix.

Funny thing is, I followed your links & found this on the right side of the page. That's where they post some tweets & found this link there as well as the picture. I enjoy reading MMQB.

There's a ton of articles it's info-overload.  This team is so loved by the media now.  

I think this pic is entertaining.  Interesting to see him looking down on Braxton.  Short had 3 sacks on him in 2011 and won in OT.

    • If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2024 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade. 
    • Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.  
    • I have zero issues with this.
