Is this the best Panthers pass rush in franchise history?

Stay healthy and we have a shot at this being the case.  Loss of Horn is gunna hurt against the better QB's.

[SBBlue]

Probably.

This is the most dominant D I think I have ever seen.

Too soon too tell. I think the 2003 pass rushed is still the best, yeah I am a bit biased. 
But this pass rush, if it continues it’s upward trajectory, has a chance to surpass it. 

[Snake]

I would say we probably have the best Defensive coordinator since Dom Capers and it shows. I think the rush is great but it's the concepts that are getting them open.

It will be hard to surpass the Greene Lathon years.  If they continue on this pace then yes, but for now I hold judgment.

Del Rio was special, too bad we couldn't hold onto him

Del Rio is trash, thats why he is up there with his buddy Ron.

the thing I have been thinking recently is - How TF are we going to be able to resign Reddick (only a 1yr deal) and still retain Burns when he is off his rookie deal?

I think we need to keep them both and keep this line together for the next few years - but not sure it is doable..

Time will tell if it's better than 2013 but have more depth across the D-Line. Hardy had 15, Johnson had 11 no other player had more than 4

T.D - 4 , Mike Mitchell - 4, Captain- 3, Dwan Edward's ‐ 3, Star - 3, Luke -2,  Short 1.5. So two defensive lineman and a bunch of corners and linebackers

We're can get more pressure with the D-line without having to blitz the secondary with Haynes, Brown, Fox, Jones, YGM and I fully expect at least two of them to have more than 4 sacks likely Fox and Brown.

It is doable, the saints do it every year.

I think it could be. Even up against the days of Pepp and Rucker.

They are more consistent in applying pressure than even Pep and Rucker were.  Pep would have plays and games that just reminds you how unreal he is, but the pass rush with this defense now is more consistent and relentless.  

I would be interested to see stats comparison from Kevin Greene and Lamar Lathon led pass rush in 1996.  They were really good.

Well it's hard to call someone special when they couldn't repeat the same thing twice. Good most definitely, special I'm not sure of. I would say he was probably as good as McDermott and that's not a knock.

This looks like a good pressure scheme and may end up being the best we have had. These players aren't our best rushers ever. Big difference.
