About this Star v Short BS


Doc Holiday

Recommended Posts

Short is the better Player, pure and simple. He was the correct choice to keep if you had to pick between the two.  Anyone else besides me notice that our Defense fell apart after he went on IR? that's not a coincidence the presence that KK brought to the D-line was sorely missed the moment we lost him. Our Defense pretty much went from Elite to garbage with that one loss this season.

Star is today what he has always been, a big immovable run stuffer in the middle that gets the occasional QB pressure. His purpose has forever been to eat up 1-2 blockers and not move, and open lanes for the Linebackers. he has done nothing but that his entire career,  when your defense knows the offense isnt gonna get any push up the middle because he is there that is a great weapon to have.

Ideally we would have kept both, but we had to choose because of the Colossal mistake that was the Matt Kalil contract, which was David Gettleman's fault.  Hurney pretty much had to choose between the lesser of two evils and he chose wisely in keeping Short.

Short sucks!!! Star is the better player. Short is a stats player. Star is the kind of players that make everyone around him better. There’s a reason why Star was the 14th pick in the draft and would’ve went higher if not for his heart condition. Short went in the 2nd for a reason. He lived off Star’s impact on the dline and had “one”, “1”, “uno” fuggn good season!

I assume you laugh at your own “jokes” since no one else does?

I never joke, I’m always 100% serious and the internet is a super serial place! 
 

also fua it’s no secret you pretty much hate me and have for a while.

the difference between me and you is I never cared about your opinion but you care about mine. Don’t ask me why. Maybe it’s because my responses and opinions are more thought out and balanced than your general run of the mill super sensitive reactionary posts on here.

I don't think Short sucks but I think any run of the mill DT that plays the type of DT Short plays could generate Sacks playing next to Star because Star creates chaos by clogging it all up

Not to say you're wrong or you're right, but I just checked Buffalo's DT's and Jordan Phillips, drafted 2 drafts later than Short but in the same round (2) had 9.5 sacks playing next to Star this year, so there is some anecdotal evidence to support the notion. Also that's 9.5 sacks this season with a career total of 15, so getting more production this year than the rest of his career combined.

Short is the Peanut Butter and Jelly ..

Star is the Bread ..

Doesn't really matter if you have Peanut Butter and Jelly without the Bread

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
