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.

      First OTA's Monday and Tuesday

      If you only look at measurables, Mingo and Legette might seem similar.  But when you actually look at them and watch them play, they aren't close to the same.   And this is coming from someone who is skeptical about Legette, although ultimately I believe he will work out.  I've just always disagreed with the comparisons to Mingo.   Mingo tests better than he plays/runs, whereas Legette plays/runs as well as he tests.

      Where will the wins come from? (my early predictions)

      By Mage · Posted

      As bad as things were with the Panthers last year, we still had 4 other games outside of the 2 we won that we came very close to winning.  Could throw the Falcons game in there too, it was tied going into the 4th. I'm not really sure what to expect this year.  I don't think we'll make the playoffs.  However, we play in a very weak division where no team has a standout QB.  On paper, our OL should be good, and could be great if Ikem improves.  That alone could help mask a lot of problems on offense.  Should allow us to run the ball better.  Even if Bryce doesn't improve, the OL should at the very least give him more time to make the easy throws underneath and let a guy like Legette work his magic after the catch. And I think this defense in a 2nd year with Evero should, at the very least, be in the top 16.  I'm expecting our run defense to be as good as it has been in years. I think this team could push for 7-8 wins.  But it could also finish with 2 wins again.  That is just how the league works.  Jets offense was miserable last year, and yet they still won 7 games.   We won't really get a good feel of it until after the preseason, and even then, who knows.
