As someone who did not follow along with training camp much...

Who the hell are some of these guys on the defense?  Like no disrespect to these guys but where did they find them?  Who is Nick Thurman?  Who is LaBryan Ray?  Who is Jamie Sheriff?  Claudin Cherelus?  Trevin Wallace?  Oh my god it doesn't stop. WHERE DID THEY FIND THESE GUYS?


Waiver wire

Well... Thurman and Ray are both holdovers from last year.  Sheriff was claimed off waivers.  Cherelus is a ST lb.  Wallace is a 3rd round rookie we drafted in the spring.

All practice squad players.  The first 4 were all on another teams practice squad last year or the year before.  They should not be on our 53-man roster.  It has to be by far the worst team defense depth chart in the league.

It just keeps getting better!  And in a hurry!  

 

Remember Evero's "could be a 8 or 9 sack year" statement?  Welp.  Go Panthers!

DB is a great run defender and pushes the pocket a little, but he's NEVER been the pass rusher I thought he would have been after being the 6th pick taken in the draft. He had 8 sacks in his first 4 seasons. I don't think our season sack total is going to be drastically affected with him out of the lineup.

Until he realizes he has to return to this team for another year

I would not blame him at all for demanding a trade.  In fact, I encourage it.  We need like 2-3 years of straight sucking and getting the No. 1 Pick all 3 years.  Get rid of everybody and start over with a bunch of 21-22 year olds.  And I mean EVERYBODY.  Every single soul that has anything to do with the Panthers

They're gonna get No. 1 in 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030, 2031 and 2032 at least. There's every reason to believe we're in for a 50-game losing streak at minimum.

Me either, although I do think he has 8 sack potential, because last season, seemingly, he was "there" more, but often pushed the QB to someone else.  

I think my underlying sentiment was more so that we can't have nice things.

Well, there was a reason DB has been doubled way more than Burns ever was... And honestly, it's hard to get high sack totals as a DT - you can't just run off the edge and beat a tackle 1-on-1. And for good ones like DB, he will most likely have to beat a combo block of the C and G because teams know, especially now, he is the only pass rushing threat we have.

    • I can't tell you what other's expect from him before they will start believing in him. I think for some, they will never be able to overcome his size. I think that is the fundemental problem for them which means they will never be happy with him behind center. For others, it seems he will have to be in the top 10% in pretty much every catagory and do that all seaon for them to start believing in him. Not everyone of course. There are people on this board that, while have doubts, can still acknowledge his good plays and are willing to give him another season. Those folks I would assume just want consistency - and wins. I could be off on all the above but that's kind of how I see it. And while you didn't ask, I will say I'm glad they picked up his 5th year option. He earned it. I do not think he should be signed to a long term contract yet. I do think he will develope in a franchise QB and will get the Panthers back into the playoffs and win them but I know I could be wrong. Next year will be the big test. If the offense continues to improve and they get back to the playoffs because of the offense, it will be time to sign him long term. If it's a repeat of this year, then it's time to look elsewhere for a QB. Like I said though, I believe he can be the guy so would be surprised if he doesn't make it.   
    • Well since I am so biased, why don’t you tell us what he has to do to earn the trust of everyone that doubts him? If you say he has already done it, we really will never agree.
