Carolina Panthers: Legacy of Linebackers


SCP

Recommended Posts

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.

    • Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.
    • Bryce youngs first starts for 3 years   51 of 103 49%     153 yards avg 6 ints 2 tds   But this is the year he turns it around
    • His third year was worse than Bryce's third year, significantly so.  And he had a game where he threw for 120 yards, two inteceptions, and had a fumble.  He had multiple games where he threw for more int's than td's.
