Who is the best player on the defense?

I was just thinking to myself, what used to be such an easy question to answer for almost the last decade, is now up for debate and honestly kind of depressing.

I know it’s early in the season, but who is the best player on the Panthers defense right now?

Rasul Douglas and Stephen Weatherly were the highest graded players in Week 1 by PFF. 

So who else is a contender? Shaq Thompson? Derrick Brown? Jeremy Chinn?

Extremely hard to say. Pay wise, it needs to be Shaq or KK. To date, Weatherly, Douglas and Chinn all looked possible.

It would be nice to see Brown be that guy.

Way too early and not looking good for the vets we have left so far. Boston, KK and Shaq have looked not good enough and the fact we have positive things to say about Chinn, Weatherly, Brown, Burns and Douglas is very concerning for the Vets with big contracts going forward. Still, it's early year bad football time compounded by a fugged preseason with new coaches that have little NFL experience.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Number 9  Carolina Panthers  Bryce Young, the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, produced career highs in completion percentage (63.6%), passing yards per game (188.2) and passing touchdowns (23) in 2025. However, those numbers aren't exactly stellar by NFL quarterbacking standards. Even though the Panthers backdoored their way into the postseason in 2025 as NFC South champions with an 8-9 record, Young's performance was up-and-down. He threw for the third-fewest passing yards by a quarterback to make the playoffs in the last 20 seasons, per CBS Sports Research.  FEWEST PASSING YARDS BY QB TO REACH PLAYOFFS, LAST 20 SEASONS (MIN. 16 STARTS) PASSING YARDS PLAYOFF WINS 2012 Christian Ponder (MIN) 2,935 0 2008 Joe Flacco (BAL) 2,971 2 2025 Bryce Young (CAR) 3,011 0 2006 Steve McNair (BAL) 3,050 0 2019 Josh Allen (BUF) 3,089 0 Young did deliver some high highs, like when he threw for a franchise-record 448 yards passing in a Week 11 overtime win at the Atlanta Falcons and when he went toe-to-toe with Stafford in the playoffs in a 34-31 defeat.  Kenny Pickett couldn't win the Cleveland Browns' quarterback competition a year ago, and Will Grier is a career backup. This is Young's team. Week 1 starter: Bryce Young https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/ranking-10-worst-qb-rooms-in-nfl-starting-week-1-predictions/?fbclid=IwZnRzaARnWVNleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA8xNzM4NDc2NDI2NzAzNzAAAR4I6-l7Gqrm0vzn3U7a_trcR4tcOJs0LSdal4B7l20pQeRwKTxD8w17l1lTRA_aem_RsfzhcPGr6Hmr56BjCd3hw

      That thread has all the huddle legends either posting in it or mentioned in it. I remember everyone of those folks and I truly miss seeing them post here. This place was so much better with them here.
