Panthers have "some interest" in former Packers DT BJ Raji according to ESPN

 

Would love if Gman picked him up, i know he is typically a 3-4 DT but imagine him and Short paired together! Also a good stop gap safety net if the Panthers arent able to keep both Star and Short.....

We need a guy that will do a dance on the D-line after a sack. I'm in.

0.5 sacks in the last 4 years combined(missed all of 2014 with injury so 3 seasons total). I wouldn't get your hopes up for much dancing.

I didn't say he would be the one doing the actual sacking...just the shaking and baking.

So you're saying he should come on the cheap?

That's not really his game. Raji, Soliai, and Love all fit the 1-tech mold in a 4-3, so they'd be expected to be the second-unit Star where they're mainly run-stuffers. He's not gonna break the bank, but I'm not sure I can see Gettleman paying him what he wants either.

I'm just wondering about possible draft implications. I'm also wondering what it means in reference to Coples playing for us. Does this squash that dream, or does it mean that they are actually considering Coples at DE (and not DT, as some suspected)?

    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive lshort or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
    • Then please take a vacation from the team.
    • In addition to his weak arm he has to compensate in the pocket by throwing off his toes due to his height. Respectfully, its a handicap.
