Carolina Panthers: Legacy of Linebackers

If we're talking Carolina-specific greatness I'm not sure that Lathon's two decent years and two mediocre years, or Lloyd's single mediocre year really count (and I have a framed Lamar-autographed #57 jersey hanging in my office... was one of my favorites as a kid); I'd put Michael Barrow above Lloyd in terms of Carolina greatness, and Barrow's 3 seasons all matched or exceeded all but one of Lathon's seasons in Carolina. Heck, even Carlton Bailey's 95 and 96 years outperformed Lathon's 97 and both Lathon's and Lloyd's 98 seasons. The rest of the list, however, I'm cool with.

As a parallel, if we count Lloyd do we also consider Reggie White and Eric Swann when considering top DLs?

Chuck added some good ones, I could only add Michael barrow even though he didn't stay long.

 

Seal was right about Anderson, he was the single season all-time leader in tackles(during beason golden years).......then a guy named Luke was drafted.

Linebackers has been one of the most consistent areas of our team over the years. Can't say they've always been the greatest but ever since I've been a fan, that cupboard has never been empty. The team keeps finding ways to keep it reasonably stocked.

      This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY.

      The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.

      I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
