And this is only his second year. Gotta think next year and the year after he’s gonna be making more jumps especially as those around him get better. I’ve said since his rookie year and watching his traits that he was a 15+ sack type of player. The things he can do at his size are extremely rare.

remember when Ron Rivera benched him because he punched the ground in frustration after just missing blocking a kick

couldn't have any emotion out there. that's not the Ron Rivera way.

I think he injured his hand / wrist because of it, that's why he didn't play (what's with the John Fox ? did Ron get golden calf of bristol'd ?)

yeah but he was healthy enough to play special teams after that, just not DE. 

And yeah Ron, not John. Distinction without a difference tbh tho

If a QB doesn’t drop to us that we like I’d keep drafting lineman on O and D in the first two rounds for the next several drafts. I’d follow the 9ers drafting model until we can secure a legit QB.

I am really like the LT from Notre Dame and I like Barron, the MLB from Ohio State in the second round.  In the third, there are some good center options that would be a probable upgrade.  If we could do that, I would sleep well after day 2. 

I know, some are saying, "What about S?  What about CB?  What about TE?

Free agency--maturation--healing.

While I should stop here, nay nay.  I sorta think our CB position will be fine.  Here is why--Douglas is serviceable if he is not on the #1. Jackson has been injured and is not as bad as we make him out to be.  Elder is having a better year than Munnerlyn did when the horns paid him big money.  Pride needs more experience, and there might be something in Stantley. whatever his hyphenated last name is.   Throw in a free agent, and get a stud S behind them, and we can start playing with less cushion and more aggression.  In other words, we need to heal and mature instead of an overhaul.  In a perfect world?  maybe overhaul, but if we address the OL, the DBs are not on the field as much--addition by subtraction.

I am spent.

This isn’t gonna be fixed in one draft/offseason but we need to get the ball rolling. I’d rather address corner linebacker safety and te with later round picks 3-7 and free agency. Build those lines up with top tier talent. QB is the wildcard tho, if the org thinks there is a franchise qb at our picks in the next three drafts do not hesitate to pick him round 1.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
