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.

    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
