He played a rotational role in Baltimore last year, only started 1 game but played in 14 and had 9.5 sacks.

He will probably be used in run packages. He is the heaviest edge we have by far. 6’3 and 270. 

Sure. It’s a nice signing. They clearly aren’t comfortable with the depth at LB with these recent signings of Houston and jones

They must really dislike what they’re seeing at OLB opposite burns and Haynes back must be a concern 

There is value at having a proven pass rush. Asking a bunch of role players to suddenly step up, and to DEPEND on. Them to provide a consistent rush opposite of Burns, so Burns can have a bigger impact, is really a lot to ask for. 

These young guys are still going to get plenty of opportunities,  as you have to rotate your dlinemen to keep them fresh, so they can still.impact the game in the 4th quarter when the game is on the line.

Oh my gosh 😮...only if you could get by on not having to pay top players in the league big money it would be so much easier to build championship teams am i right? Too bad it doesn't work like that..

As a general comment, paying big money for players who may not be worth it/at that level isn't a good strategy either.

This is an outstanding signing, basically the equivalent of Thielen on offense.

Thielen will be a rotational guy who can't play every snap at this age but will be an effective vet when on the field.  Plus, Thielen is a pro's pro and part of his job is to take the young WRs under his wing and teach them how to do things.

Houston has 111.5 career sacks and according to the ESPN article on him, has earned the nickname "Yoda" and "Sensei" due to him staying after practice to work on pash rushing moves with young players.

He's here to give us situational pass rush (which he had 9.5 sacks doing last year) and to help mentor all our other pass rushers.  Can't wait to see how much he's going to help Burns take his game to a whole new level.

      Derek Carr Retires

      By fanpanther · Posted

      D Carr must have really disliked the saints to wait and do this announcement after the draft has passed if he made this call a few weeks before the draft sure they would have approached it and the offseason differently.  oh well will be interesting to see how their qbs perform.  would love to see them roll with Thill and just make the whole offense towards his skillset.  Although sadly would be only playing in about half the games with how often he gets injured.

      I have to say it's quite fascinating seeing you pivot from months and months of wailing and agonizing about threads derailing into Bryce Young slingfests only for you to turn around and do the same thing. And just for the record. Nobody in life ever attained wisdom and clarity from mistakes by having people blindly fawn over them and tell them they are above reproach and incapable of making mistakes. Our front office is just as human as we are. And based on the fact that front offices across the league outside of a handful of teams change on a fairly regular basis it's safe to say they are certainly no more infallible than the average Joe even though they possess significantly more knowledge usually. If you want a utopia where all you do is shine shoes for anyone associated with the Panthers you go right on ahead and create yourself a new community sir. More power to you.

      Trevin Wallace - PFF Breakout Nominee

      I trust Morgan when it comes to LBs so I think Wallace will do well.
