then again, I love defensive football. There's nothing better than screaming my head off and pounding the seat at BoA as our defense makes mince meat of opposing offenses.

Chuck Smith: 58.5 sacks

Reggie White: 198 sacks

Eric Swaan: 46.5 sacks

Sean Gilbert: 42.5 sacks

Panthers got all of these players after injuries that rendered them less than effective. OP's list consist of home grown PANTHERS.

not denying that, but anyone can sign or still retain players that had illustrious careers but either 1, they're injury prone, or 2, they're getting up there in age. 

Not saying we won't have a dominant Dline this year, but lets not base our assessment on past production.

I believe in statistics. Statistics based on past performance are usually a good indicator of future success. Is it full proof? No. Is it a good indicator? Yes.

It seems to me we are "all in" this year. Even Gettleman was aggressive in free agency whereas in previous years he sat on the sideline content to shop the bargain basement and count on UDFAs, injured vets, and projects to fill crucial positions. He finally opened the wallet and spent to get what we needed. He gave Cam some weapons and worked with Rivera and Shula to develop a plan and execute it rather than pick who we could find and try to do the best we could with what we got. The best offseason we have had since Gettleman got here.

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      By frankw · Posted

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
