I don't doubt that Star is gone.

I got the vibe he just never liked it here. I could easily see him going to Arizona, just an hour flight away from his home in Utah. I Appreciate the fact that he always kept his head down and worked hard while he was here. It was a great 5 year run.

I feel like losing Star will expose us, and mainly us on this board on how we under appreciated the big man.

For some reason we think these guys are super humans, we play with 2 DTs. An entire NFL season. We have three 300+ lbs guys we think can and will stay healthy every game. Watching Vernon and Star play its two different styles, Vernon may make a huge play, chase someone down you didn't expect or block a pass or 2. Then you will see him out of position, getting plowed run after run. Star may be less "fun" to look at but he's a patient, pretty consistent, powerhouse that gets the attention of the O line. Out of everyone on our D line this year Ive seen teams pay attention and scheme to Star more than anyone else. The Saints especially stand out to me as they made it seem it was an important part of the game plan to double Star and set the running game up from eliminating him, Take Star out, you have a chance to stop TD or Luke from running freely to stop the run.

 

I would love to keep these 3 guys together. Vernon will only get more refined, and its nice having a young guy who will WANT to make plays when he has his chance and play with a high motor. Star will be a great player on any team, he's a smart guy off the field, on the field. He for sure adds a certain power to our defense, probably one of the strongest Panthers we've had. Seeing him sling O linemen down with one arm and getting sacks with a small bump is fuging great. Seeing Matt Ryan look into the eyes of a Super Tongan with arms the size of pillows with pure fear, I mean what else could you want?

Plus seeing Star chase down Russel Wilson more than once is just something you want to go give the guy a hug for. Probably the most elusive QB getting chased 20 yards by Star giving all he has, imagine being Luke or TD seeing that and how hype it makes them. I love it.

sorry for the long post, trying to cherish Star while he's still a official Panther.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
