To me, the kiss of death for a defensive player is a "hot and cold" or "questionable" motor.  When I have heard that, they almost always bust.  When I hear that a player has a "non-stop" motor, they often are overachievers.  At DE/Edge, you better go hard on every play. 

 

Panther fans were notorious for saying Peppers was lazy before he was traded

Some people said Peppers had a questionable motor, but I think that was mostly because he was such a talented athletic freak people couldn’t understand why he didn’t get a sack on literally every play.

Let's be honest. To this day all of his clout basically goes back to that one time when he hit that Michigan RB really hard. Without that one highlight reel he'd just be another underperforming high NFL draft pick who's hype fizzled and became an afterthought.

they also trash Burns frequently. Saints and Falcons fans only wish they could hate the Panthers as much as Panthers fans

Whats the rush?  Doesn't look like any teams are hurrying to sign any of these guys.  We've basically got 3 FA EDGE's that stand out to me.  Leonard Floyd, Clowney and Ngakoue.  I would wager that one of these dudes will be a Panther in the next few weeks/months.

If the Panthers decide on signing one of the three, Leonard Floyd,  Clowney or Ngakoue, I just hope they have done their homework and  sign the one that will fit the teams defensive scheme the best.

the Huddle has always had more Brady and Brees fans than Peppers and Burns fans

 

And just how would one go about quantifying such a hypothetical statement?

 

A public poll?

The ol Huddle eye test?

Rock, paper scissors, lizard, Spock?

Clooney got the kiss of death. Overdrafted, bad team and bad luck with injuries. He was gifted but a myriad of circumstances (some within his control and some not) have stunted his career. Honestly between the two new rookies that bull Rush run stopper across from Burns spot might be ok.

He's not the one making the claim. Burden for that falls to you.

I’m sure he appreciates you taking up for him.

Look at comments in the Burns threads over the last 5 months (particularly the one in December). Negatives outweigh the positives by a mile. As for Pep, do the same in 2009. The sentiments only got more negative as time passed. Stances softened when Pep came back, but that doesn’t erase years of “only tries when he wants”.

I didn't take up for anyone, just responded to a comment. And I fail to see how negative comments about Burns, whether truly negative or only perceived as negative, equate to fandom of Brady and/or Brees.

Here's the problem: I can share with you numerous posts across multiple accounts singing their praises, but you're just going to say, "Well, they're good players, of course they'd say that," so there's absolutely no use in my linking all these posts dating back to 2013. One thing I would not do if I were you, though, is deny their existence.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
