The question of the day: is Derrick Brown good, elite, or fine?


Recommended Posts

He’s a hood above average DT but he’s not elite. Elite IMHO means you are stopping the run and rushing the passer as well.

Damn autocorrect keeps changing good to hood. I literally just watched it do it again and fixed it.

Depends on what you want out of your defensive tackle. Take up space, eat blockers and make a play against the run? He’s ideal. Want him to sack the QB? You can’t ignore his lack of sacks and thus he’s almost through his rookie contract and has how many sacks in his career?

He wasn't a great sacking DT in college either. He is just a run stuffer.

He's not elite but he's better than good. He's a great 2nd tier DT whose impact isn't realized purely by stats. He takes up blockers to create space for the defensive playmakers. I think he's better than Star was here and we missed Star a ton when we let him walk years ago.

People need to stop box score scouting.

His pass rush is better than people realize.  Just look at his pass rush grade also.  Sacks don't tell the whole story, often the guy that gets the sack isn't the guy that caused the sack.  Pressures are important.

Either way, If he has another year like last year he will get paid as being elite, so people might shocked at contract time.

Panthers Pick Up Fifth-Year Option on DT Derrick Brown

Carolina makes a decision on Derrick Brown.
CAROLINA PANTHERS

As expected, the Carolina Panthers will pick up the fifth-year option on defensive tackle Derrick Brown, the team announced Monday.

The former seventh overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft has become a key fixture on the Panthers' defense despite having a mini-slump during his sophomore season in 2021.

In three seasons with the team, Brown has accumulated 142 tackles, 21 tackles for loss, 33 QB hits, and six sacks. This past season was his best as he set a single-season career high in tackles (67) and QB hits (12), to go along with five tackles for loss and a sack. 

With Carolina switching to a 3-4 defensive scheme under Ejiro Evero, Brown will play more of a defensive end position, which should allow him to generate more of a pass rush. Free agent addition Shy Tuttle is slated to start at the nose.

    • Best I heard its a clause the bungals want to add. It prevents them form paying the full guaranteed amount if triggered. No one knows the details of the clause, but guesses are it relates to off-field stuff. Stewart is in the right here. Before they signed burrow, chase, and Higgins they were the cheapest team in the league bar none. Unlike tepper or jarrah Jones or any other NFL ownership, all Mike brown owns is the beagals. Every other owner has many other money making businesses, not bungals.  I still remember when Brenston Bunker was starting on WFNZ and he told the story about the beagals telling him to pick a used cup form a huge pile, LOLS! They been on hard knocks and I remember Marvin lewis telling the players not to take home Gatorade bottles........* but in that case, I believe some players were taking a back pack and filling it up with drinks. Still you make millions(around 200million) in net profit and Im sure coke gave the team those bottles, still... Its a 32 team billion business, someone has to the cheapest.....Panthers were around the next cheapest team before tepper bought them and he has POURED millions upon millions into the team. He bought a bubble that Richardson never would, so the team had to gather in building during the rain. He spent millions on coofus machines that he just gave away like the bubble. Tepper made that AC trailer a thing. I've trashed him about his concerts and taking away end zone seats from fans. But the guy will spend money any way to efforts to better the team, dang I just remembered the deal he gave Rhule- more than Andy Reid at the time.  I know results have not came, but Id 100% take Tepper over Mike brown as a owner.
    • There's no way they're shipping you some uniform you haven't seen lol.  I feel like they'd just refund you and ask if you wanted the new one when it launched. Probably just making the blues the primary, or a new helmet for a new alternate/variation.
    • Man even after 5-12 seasons they are able to produce hype videos.
