Why does it matter, in any way, what Star wanted from the Panthers, or any team. It’s about what he got and was actually worth. Stars 5/50M he got was barely more than that. Why is spending 1M/year more just TOO MUCH(according to you) for a position. This is your theory and nothing the team did has shown there was ever a thought like that. Or they wouldn’t have run out to sign Poe. Then sign McCoy when both Poe and KK were here. 
 

    Just for kicks, show us where anyone with credibility confirmed that Star wanted 16M/yr? 

What a player wants to be when they become a fa doesn’t matter?
 

Are you truly asking this question??

How to this point has no one mentioned coaching?

DL coach Okam is a Baylor transfer, no NFL coaching background before coming here last year with Rhule/Snow. Is he able to coach up Brown should be a large question. 

I didn't even realize the DL coach was a Baylor guy as well, looks like he was an NFL bust. 33 tackles in 4 years in the NFL as a backup, oof. Speaking of D coaches that cornerbacks coach also from Baylor seemed like he had zero idea what he was doing in the Camp Confidential episode highlighting him. Just a bunch of ra-ra guys with no real NFL experience

         What??? He didn’t look powerful enough in college?

what film are yo watching?

I didn't see room for growth on his frame.  Frame may be a bad word, I saw a guy who might be maxed out on his strength potential. 

Compare the bodies of let's say Kris Jenkins with Derrick Brown

He's certainly not making an impact on the stat sheet. I'd have to really dig into the game footage but is he demanding double teams? Opening up space for others to make plays? Freeing up Shaq to make tackles? Other than that he certainly isn't doing any pass rushing or run stopping from what I can see. It's a shame KK's tank ran out last year.

You do remember Kris had a weight problem that ended his career early right? Derrick is 
6’5 325 that’s perfect.. And he is definitely strong enough..

He’s more like Star not KK.. And his Stats line up well with what we asked Star to do his 1st 2 Season.. Nixon is more like KK type of DT.. But he’s hurt now..

Star was also much stronger for us then Derrick Brown.  Derrick Brown is more like Make Kemoatu, but even that is a stretch.

That was with the Jets.

Either way Derrick Brown is not getting the inside push, which speaks to his strength and leverage.

Washington was on their 3rd starting C early into the game. FYI our former all-pro Tyler Larsen started the game...... Brown should have wrecked all of them, I at least saw Jones make a few plays.

They also lost the starting RT early as well, still ran all over panthers DL.

where are those poster saying this is a top 5 D, I need to see how they are currently??

Tis the NFL and its been more unpredictable than past years. Lots of upsets the week before this past. Panthers going need some of that "luck" to make the playoffs.... No teams feel above others to me. Feels like 20 teams are the "best" and 12 lesser that could upset one form the 20. GB and AZ do not feel like the best W-L teams. Right now Wash is playing better than TB and panthers. I would hate to play NE right now as well, now THATS a top 5 D......

If the panthers truly had a top 5 D, they beat washington easy.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Ok--I have seen some sample items, and I would like to see something (if possible) measures on field intelligence--maybe how quickly you can grasp a playbook or absorb film session adjustments...Back when we had Morrison as team president and Hurney as GM, I offered to assess (as part of my research in education requirement at a University) emotional intelligence and learning styles of players to help coaches teach more effectively.  Morrison loved it and contacted me about it.  Hurney was not interested, and it fell through the cracks.  My pitch?  If only 50% of first-rounders become successful NFL players and that number drops significantly, can you tell me that you are effectively measuring talent?  Morrison thought it was a good point and wanted to do something that might improve long-term success rates--that would impact the cap management, etc.  Marty, according to Morrison, said he was not interested at this time and if so, he would want a football guy to do it.  (I told Morrison that I played in college and Hurney, a sports reporter at one time, did not. (He told me that Hurney played as a Guard in college--who knew?) Any way, about that time, Morrison left (2017) and the idea was dropped.  I reached back out a year later or so to Marty was still not interested.  A few days later, his wife accused him of assault or something, so I dropped it.

      Pretty sure they still do the Wonderlic they just don't publicly release the scores.

      I just thought he was under the radar--but thanks for opening our eyes to him.  I think we should have better measures for intelligence--such as reaction time, angles, etc. Legette is raw as heck, for example, and his RAS was very high.  We used to do the Wonderlic (which was not great) but to know how effectively a player makes on field decisions would be great.
