He's a Panther now, so I'm cheering for his success, but...

Looking over his career stats, I'm seeing half the time he's a starter when he's in games, half the time he's on the bench. Not many sacks, forced fumbles, INTs or even actual tackles. Played much of his time apparently in a 3-4 defense.

Exactly why did we pick him up? Anything should be an improvement over Whitehead, but can someone point out to me where's the gleam here?

Could be the only type of players they can get to sign here for what they can afford to pay.  Don't over look that aspect of the situation.  It's a key one.

Every-single-one... I thought Rhule had enough of players missing games when he dealt with Apple, Okung,(I believe Russ was truly hurt) and other soft-ass players. He even commented about wanting tough players to play though things. The injury report will be full. This maybe why he wanted players that can help multiple spots... Going to funny watching Teddy line up at safety! Training staff will be tested this year.

Injuries, he wasnt benched. If you dont realize, thats what the panthers are targeting players with a loooooong history of injuries. 

Hes a legit MLB, when hes not in the training room....

Yeah, I saw the injury history and tried to adjust for it. On a per game basis, though, well I guess after being a Panthers fan since opening day I expected more from a linebacker.

We've kind of been spoiled here over the years. I hope that we don't lose that as part of our identity.

Yeah I got nothing there.  I'm not seeing how this fits any plan I would dream up, unless it's to get the number one pick next year.  Oh wait! That belongs to Houston.

Apparently now we have one of the best LBs in the league
 

Panthers agreed to terms with LB Denzel Perryman, formerly of the Chargers, on a two-year contract.

Perryman was one of the better off-ball linebackers to hit the market after both Lavonte David and Matt Milano stayed with their respective teams. In Carolina, Perryman will take over at the MIKE after Tahir Whitehead played largely empty snaps there last season. It'll be Perryman, Shaq Thompson, and Jeremy Chinn at linebacker for the Panthers, giving them one of the better trios in the league. Perryman has yet to play a full 16-game season through six years in the league.

Besides CMC, who it became obvious we were sitting out on purpose, who on the roster spent a lot of time out of the lineup with a new injury? I say new because Okung came into the picture with multiple prior injuries and KK has stayed injured for the last few years.

Rhule and Tepper have their sports science facility and they've said they're committed to providing the best care to their players year round. Perhaps in these three players we've signed, they see manageable injuries that can be mitigated by better care, and believe they can keep them on the field longer. Just a thought. I'm going to be optimistic about it. I'll be bummed if they spend all year on the bench, but it's just a game. 

Edit: 2021 will be Year One for a lot of what Rhule wanted to bring to Carolina, now that they won't have to do everything over Zoom and can be in the same building.

Been a solid player for the Chargers since 2015 outta the 2nd round. "Who?" is a weak take. 

Lol right. "Who" seems like a plenty solid take for some nobody linebacker from the Chargers. I just looked him up. Part time starter/bench player, low stats, depth signing.

      A comparison of QBs drafted #1 overall

      By Basbear · Posted

      I thought Winston was going to be a 10-15 year problem, sooo glad he went the better josh Freeman route. I mean prime Ryan, brees, and if Winston became that guy........Id hate to be a DC for Carolina.   The main deal is 1st overall pick goto the worse teams.  Looking at the list only Burrow has been able to break the loser mentally fog over those teams. Goff was reborn for the lions and you could make a case for him, but 2nd team. Luck and Cam are about the same, injuries ended great runs.  Burrow should get more MVP votes.

      Mac Jones outshined Trevor Lawrence his rookie year. Now he is his backup. Let’s just see what happens and yes supporting cast and coaching matters. It’s what ultimately ruined Mac’s career and sustained Trevor’s.

      Our future RHD room had a ton of question marks going into this offseason, glad we took care of 1 spot already. It's a good price and term for Chatty. Very good chance he outplays this deal but there is some risk of it being a slight overpayment for a guy more suited for the 3rd pair. If he and Orlov as expected wind up being our 2nd pair, I'm confident and comfortable in them being an above average 2nd pair, but we do have to see it first. It was ridiculous having them as a 3rd pair last year, though really too bad Pesce got hurt in the playoffs.   I don't think this rules out keeping Pesce necessarily but he probably walks. So we've got Burns, Chatty, Morrow next year. Not terrible if we keep the big forward guns like Guentz and Necas but if we don't we definitely still need to add to the RHD group IMO. Morrow ideally plays most of next year in the AHL. And Burns' play slipped down the stretch last year and he's going to be a year older and is already the oldest player in the league.    I don't want to trade Necas but if we do, barring him being just 1 piece in a big forward upgrade, I hope we get a legit cost controlled top 4 RHD back.
