Is Mario Addison the Panthers best DE?


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

He's our best pass rushing and speed DE. He leads the teams with sacks.

Now, question is if he can play with pure power in the run game, which is why I can see the coaches only using him situationally.

But he better be resigned. Also, @Jeremy Igo you doing coaches film this week? Would like to see how some plays went and gone, whatever opportunities were missed, and how our corners did overall.

Ealy you still keep because hes under a cheap rookie contract  for 1 more year even if hes just a 4th string guy.  If you can get CJ back cheap, you get him because you need a vet.  If Addison can get a reasonable deal done get him.  Need 4 DEs so 1 FA 1 draft.  FA class is pretty weak for 4-3 DE.   only other reasonable cheaper guy I like is Alex Okafor for Arizona

Keep Horton for run support. He's honestly really good at that area from what I'm seeing. I think the DE position issue isn't as bad as everyone thought it'd be.

Your still going to need to get 1 or 2.  Ealy, doubt we wont keep after his rookie contact end after next year.   CJ even if re signed doubt has 2 years left in him.  

Need to draft 1 to groom for when these guys leave can step right in.  And a FA weather it be Addison or another guy.

Though we have tons of players that are better, career wise, he has been a top 5 player on our team, THIS YEAR.

Short, Cam, Kuechly, Davis, Olsen, Funchess, Shaq, etc.

He has been consistently good. Only other consistently good I can think of, off the top of my head is Olsen.

Our stars have been hurt or inconsistent, for sure.

    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
    • Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.
    • Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
