Is Kony Ealy the next great Panthers defensive end?

I've said it before and I'll say it again

Kony Ealy is the man with the plan

[GoobyPls]

Outside of Peppers have we had any other great DE's? Johnson and Hardy were good, I think Ealy can be as good as those 2.

I remember some of y'all wanted to cut him. Lmao!

I mean if a guy's not playing at an All Pro level by the middle of his rookie season, you just gotta cut your losses, right?

We have a lot more women posting on this site than when I first joined this site.

He got a good shot. But like many have said, who will be the other DE?

But, puppy fraud. http://deadspin.com/report-panthers-de-kony-ealy-sued-for-alleged-puppy-fr-1758954481?utm_campaign=socialflow_deadspin_twitter&utm_source=deadspin_twitter&utm_medium=socialflow

He clearly has talent. If he becomes a consistent performer, he'll be a stalwart for our D. If he can wreak havoc anywhere close to his SB performance, then I think 'great' is a real possibility.

no

It all depends on the rest of the d-line... Will CJ be starting opposite? Can the Panthers' D excel with Ealy, Star, KK & __? Need consistency from the young man... 

Every good DE has somebody at least decent on the other side, who will it be for Kony to be dominant in '16? Or will he just dominate & make the rest of the line better?
