Is this the best front 7 rotation the Panthers have ever had?

CJ hasn't shown he is back to form just yet. Peppers is older and we don't know how many snaps he can handle. 

For the first 3 quarters yeah they may end up being the best we've seen. But these guys could get tired. 

The 2013 pass rush was bonkers. If Hardy wasn't a nut job it would have been nice to have him with Peppers.

I don't get what all y'all liked about Hardy. He only showed up for like two games that one good year he had. He played well against Atlanta and the Saints that's it. I'm glad he went crazy or we probably would have wasted even more money on him.

On paper, they're impressive, but I'm worried about how much of an impact CJ will have.  He's coming off of the same back surgery Tiger Woods has had multiple times.  I know, not really comparing apple to apples in terms of how they use thier body, but any time you start having back issues, they don't go away.

yup, ask steve kerr

Hard to beat young Pep, Rucker, Jenks, and Buckner with Wallace, Burton, Moorehead, and Rasmussen swapping out. Our LBs were a little weaker then, but Morgan and Witherspoon were pretty damned good starters, and the guys beside and behind them were solid too.

That said, I think we could rival that now, if not surpass it. Very likely best/deepest front 7 we've ever had.

Why'd you even include Rasmussen oh wait you are the one who thinks LeBron > MJ so you just looked up the old roster and included everyone

I'm not even a basketball fan... you got it twisted...

Kemp Rasmussen wasn't bad when he was in the rotation.

I still probably have some VHS tapes with this line. Heck, I think I still have an ESPN The Mag that has a whole multi-page write up about this defensive line.

You might need to take a step back before you make yourself look pretty bad.

found a snippet of that article I was talking about...

http://www.espn.com/insider/story?id=1712283

Quote

They punk'd Mike Martz, forced the genius to second-guess. They trash-canned Bill Parcells, reminding him that beneath his big aura and blond hair-coloring is a hustler reliant on Quincy Carter. Donovan McNabb? They hurt his feelings a lot more than Limbaugh did.

Meet the Carolina Panthers' defensive line, a group of mostly no-names who've made postseason life miserable for a lot of marquee names. The six players -- starting ends Mike Rucker and Julius Peppers, tackles Kris Jenkins and Brentson Buckner and backups Al Wallace and Shane Burton -- have been the bedrock of Carolina's two-year transformation from 1-15 pushover to Super Bowl party crasher. They have speed (Peppers), power (Jenkins), know-how (Rucker), experience (Buckner) and depth (Burton, Wallace). Most of all, they have chemistry.

"I've studied the great defenses, like the Purple People Eaters and Steel Curtain," Buckner says. "And the common denominator is that unspoken trust and shared sense of excellence with whoever puts his hand in the dirt next to you." Adds Panthers defensive coordinator Mike Trgovac: "These guys have the potential to become one of those nickname-type lines."

I don't recall if Moorehead or Rasmussen were mentioned in that article (I will have to look it up tonight if I still have the original) but they were the guys who gave the other guys the breaks.

    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.  
    • I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
    • I hate Marchand, but if he became a free agent.....
