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.

    • Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
    • Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was. 
    • I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
