Ejiro Evero - Best Coach Since....

I think Evero needs a round of applause for the work he has done this season.

 

Panthers Defense has been OUTSTANDING this season IMO. Considering Shaq got hurt, offense never gave them any help, jaycee was in and out all year, etc, etc, etc. I think his job holding that unit together is admirable and we haven't heard much praise directed to him this year and he deserves it.

 

I also don't think it's a coincidence that Derrick Brown’s performance EXPLODED this year, and he ended up having a historic season.The defense was just the one thing I felt super confident about most of the year, did not start off that way but ended up with a lot of trust in them as a unit. 

 

There were some bad of course, but I just think overall he has done exceptional. IMO, if anyone is deserving of the HC job it's him.

we are still 30th in points allowed and 32nd in  takeaways. 

our overall yardage allowed is a little distorted IMO

You are right.

Just to play devils advocate, I would say its hard to be overly aggressive on defense to force turnovers when you know you cannot afford to give up big plays due to an inept offense.

But for sure the defense is not perfect.

Yeah, this historically bad offense put this defense in many miserable situations leading to points. 

What could have been this year with even a below average offense? Hurts me to think about.

Unfortunately, no.  Our defense has not been good this year.

Only two teams have given up more points per game than we have.  This is our first year in the 3-4, so it should be expected, but don't get it twisted.  We have not been good.

You do realize that I would say easily 30% of the points we allowed this year were either pick/fumble 6s from Bryce or terrible turnovers by the offense that set the opposing teams offense up in the red zone. Then think about all of the three and outs our offense had that gave the ball to the other team at about midfield...

I think our defense was bad in 4, maybe 5 games, this year and was the only reason we won or were close in any other games...

    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
