Panthers looking at DE Marques Douglas


Mr. Scot

Per Gantt in the Herald and the Observer.

He'd likely be picked up to fill Brayton's shoes. Douglas is 32 (shortly 33) but before you get too hyped up on that, realize that's only two years older than Brayton. Scouting reports would likely tell you that he's overall better than Brayton. At this point, he's probably best suited as a rotational player.

So why go older at this position, you ask? The answer would be to get a guy who can function like Brentson Buckner did, i.e. a smart, veteran presence who can help tutor the younger players in the details of the game.

So should we pretty much give up on re-signing Brayton? Sounds like he really loves it here. A whole new starting defensive line sounds harsh lol.

They have already tried to resign Brayton and couldn't reach an agreement. After the Panthers didn't reach an agreement with him is when he started looking at other teams.

    • For a 3rd year QB? That flies with the Teppers and makes the HC and GM look like fools.  Their fear is evident. Their careers are tied to making it work, it's ehy they signed on here and they are professionals who knows what kind of a situation they could potentially have on their hands if they are not calculating about popping up Bryce. I call BS to that sir. It's why every QB after Bryce couldn't make any other rosters past a PS spot...at best
    • Not just Dalton.   But the only real young arm they would let be seen the past 2 years was a really a bad Jack Plummer.  Who was super weak even for that tier  Can’t convince me how weak they made the atmosphere around Young hasn’t been intentional.     
    • Things of note: mentions he has six drops. Six. For all the people that don’t know what a drop is, he has six. That’s a long distance from the league leader at ten. (To be fair, pro football reference has him at seven, still not bad.  Plenty of others is that same range.  His drop % is 6.3, which is low.) Catchable ball success ratio: 83% which is great. Catchable being the key word.  Mentions his contested catch rate is low at 5/18 but that’ll get better I think when he can rely on muscle memory for routes, catches, etc and the game slows down for him
