Gerald McCoy is one cool Cat

Love this quote

“My parents always taught me to be a leader,” McCoy said. “But in the midst of working to be a leader, I learned that you have to serve before you can lead. Before I know what type of leader I need to be, I need to learn how to serve my teammates.”

So glad this guy is a Panther!

 

Oh and his NFL peers have named him the 75th best player in the league.

man, reading everything about what he did today, all I kept thinking was, "man, I hope we can keep him fir the rest of his career."  I've always been a big fan of his as a person even though he played for a division rival, he has always embodied class...  and as an aside, just happens to be an outstanding football player too.

I know he’s a little older now but what are some reasonable stats for McCoy this year 

sacks??

TFL??

Honestly he has more talent around him than he ever has, they could rush 3 and still get pressure. This could be a big year for him and KK

'potential'

The 2011 draft for the buck's made their D-line look like it was going to the the best in the league when they picked up Adrian Clayborn and Da'Quan Bowers with their 1st and second pick. They year before they drafted McCoy and Pierce so they went into the season with a heck of potential.. 

 

All that being said, I really like the potential of our pass rush this year. IF Butler plays to his potential guys will be fighting for playing time. Could be very exciting.

    • He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.  
    • This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.
    • I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
