And you hardly hear a peep about this guy.  Just felt like starting an appreciation thread for one of the most underrated players in the league that has been nothing but consistent and professional during his time here.  It’s hard as hell to crack 20 sacks, and he might not, but he’s having a hell of a year.  Very real chance for him to set our all time season sack record this year.

Greatly appreciate the sentiment of the thread. Addison is a guy who flies under the radar a lot because he’s not flashy. Notional media never mentions him, local media seems to only in passing. Jacks oline yesterday was successful largely in containing what had been our white hot pass rush, yet super Mario found a way to generate that strip sack that Burns ran in for the TD. Those points were the difference on the scoreboard.

At 32, Addison may have been the quickest DE on the roster until Burns and Obada arrived. 

As an undrafted FA, Addison bounced around to 3 different teams before joining the Panthers in 2012. He's now 4th on the Carolina all-time sack list with 45.5, passing Kevin Greene this season. He'll probably reach Rucker's 55.5 this season as well and become #3 on the Panther all-time list. 

OP is correct, one of the most underappreciated players on this roster.

He gave Jourdan Rodrigue a great line while describing a play where he was chasing Minshew.

“I know when I was running after him one time, I saw his mustache fall off and run the other way,” joked Addison. “So I went for the mustache while he kept running away. I had to re-direct.”

Couldn’t be a better person to break that record. I think he’s under contract for next year and he’s getting up there in age. Although he seems to be getting better with age so a nice two year extension would be great if it doesn’t seem like he’s slowing down.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
