We're also going to lose Gilmore, Bouye, Jackson and Reddick. If we lose Reddick and Burns there goes the majority of our pass rush. Losing Gilmore, Bouye, and Jackson would be losing three of our top 4 CBs. Losing Chinn would be losing our best all around defender.

Make no mistake about it, our D would be GUTTED.

People are obsessing over a player that never took his previous team with a better capital situation to the Super Bowl. If we land him he will get suspended then hurt behind our terrible OL.

No, I think the concern is that we are losing a ton of young talent that was only going to get better. There would be no foundational defensive pieces to speak of at that point, which says a lot considering the draft investment.

Burns has had 3 years and he is still the same dude.. he can get some sacks and get absolutely destroyed in the run game.  Brown was over drafted and will never live up to where he was picked. 

I would rather keep Chinn and Horn.

I agree, but the Texans may also feel the same way and demand Chinn and Horn to get the deal done. That would be pretty devastating in terms of building a defense going forward.

last year we were the number two ranked defense.

burns and chinn's production was marginal at best and can easily be replaced in free agency without a dropoff (again, based on what their production last year contributed to the unit as a whole.)

bouye is a JAG.

horn is returning, effectively negating the loss of either gilmore or jackson.

so at most assuming we draft or sign comparable players production wise (won't be hard) we're at worst last years number two defense minus a CB.

really not as big of a deal as folks are suggesting.

Super Bowl? The Texans only won a single playoff game with Watson.

He's going from bad to worse in every way imaginable from a football perspective.  But somehow it's going to be better here?

I can't wait to see how this works out Tepper.

      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.
