How much faith do you have left in KK Short?

[Madwolf]

I like Short, but honestly the problem for us and KK is that he's over the hill and is going to be hard pressed to live up to his contract.

At this point in his career he needs to be a complimentary piece instead of a pillar for the organization to build around. 

Short won't be a part of the Panthers next Super Bowl run, and his value to the team is more likely as a trade piece in a rebuild.

KK's best football days are behind him. He will continue a slow decline in play until he retires to his mansion. That's not the end of the world for us, but we need to be more willing to let good 2nd round DTs walk out the door rather than locking them into huge contracts. Having a busted up DT sitting on a huge pile of money with more money guaranteed in INSANE. KK is not Kris Jenkins, and even Jenkins ended up injured and worthless toward the end of his career. STOP paying LBs, non-superstar DTs, and RBs crazy money. Focking stop it! This organization is crazy.

Now Panthers fans will do the following:

1.) We need to draft a DT 7th.

2.) He's great! Pay him a huge contract so he doesn't leave.

3.) He's banged up and sucks! Hurney is an idiot for giving him that contract! We're stuck with him!

STOOOOOOP THIS CYCLE! We have to stop being the dumbest team in the NFL!

He has one good half season left in him ala Charles Johnson in 2015. He is Big Money 2.0

[DeAngelo Beason]

Dominant? No. 

Good?  Yes. 

Worth what we're paying him? No.

like to see the analytics for dudes who get paid and dont perform vs who actually lives up to the billing....

Years ago he seemed like one of the best DTs in the league. Over the past few seasons though, (since getting paid) he has seemed far less than that.

 

Is KK Short still a dominant DT in this league?

You can't ask the huddle about faith in ANY play except Cam, sir.

It was to late even by your post.

We all know he did his best work with Star beside him so let’s draft Derrick Brown and see what happens with KK’s production 

[MMA]

One of the worst signings ever. 

[Udogg]

Not sure.  He got hurt early.  Our run game looked even worse with him gone. 

New philosphy who knows.

If we land Derrick Brown and get a decent Base End, he becomes a few years younger.  I'm game to see if he has something this coming season but we need to build that line. 

[Panthers.forever190]

every year that he's played all 16 games for us, we've been sixth, sixth and third in run defense. We just need that man healthy, it's the story of our team, but, kk short is a monster when he plays. 

[The Huddler]

not at his price

 

either needs to take a pay cut or GTFO we have young guys to pay. 

[JawnyBlaze]

Do I think he’ll be getting 11 or 12 sacks again? No. Do I have faith he’ll return to being a really good DT like before the injury? Yea sure. Not complete faith, but I think there’s a good chance.
