They were a good defense last year, but they weren't as good last year with Poe as they were with the DTs they used in 2016.  Their defense took a step backwards last year.

No. Atlanta improved from 25 to 9 in yards and 27 to 8 in points between 2016 and 2017

This doesn’t make any sense their defense was far better last year than the year before.

That was the problem with you and others ever thinking Butler was drafted to replace Star. They are NOT the same type of players. Just cause they are both considered defensive tackles means nothing. 

Butler is NOT a nose tackle. 

Educate yourself, or STFU.

so what was he drafted to do? Sit on the bench?

Yes, I went to Pro Football Reference and clicked the arrow in the wrong direction for the yards and points columns.

My bad.  Not paying close enough attention.

Some people got pleasure out of my mistake though, so I made their night which is nice lol.

P.S. We still overpaid for an average NT that has had difficulty staying in shape and not stressing the discs in his back for his career.  Hopefully he won't consider this overpaid contract as time for him to relax and eat up.  Like he did with KC.

    • Unless the league decides to rollback the rule book 30 years, that player at QB isn't winning any Super Bowls.  QB has to elevate those around him.  QBs that are carried by the team are always exposed in the playoffs. Closest thing to an average QB that has won the SB recently is Jalen Hurts.  But he's so unique with his legs and the unstoppable tush push that I don't think it's easy to compare him to anyone.  Certainly not someone who is subbed out for QB sneaks.
    • You absolutely can have hope. You can’t convert people though; making advocacy posts are kind of … not reading the room.   I had a small hope that he would be able to at least manage some games and that they could make it work in some kind of no fun to watch fashion.  But honestly I had 100% determined he was not NFL starter material, and I had conviction. So to root for him to marginally succeed goes against the best interest of the Panthers long term, according to my beliefs. I wanted him gone the minute he got here if I am honest.It was up to him to prove otherwise.  He has rarely shown me anything to think I was wrong on his ceiling.  He did show me some courage last year, standing in the pocket and stepping into his throw in the face of pressure - but that has gone somewhere. He made some nice throws last year in places too, but they invested in him on the level of the Atlanta game should be his norm. Good luck seeing that again on Sunday. Still, he did it once, so technically it could happen again. 
    • Damn that was a longer post than I intended, Maybe I should have started a new thread.
