I've never been in favor of Jadeveon Clowney. Him and Burns are similar players, neither can wreck a game by themselves. I've never been overly impressed with either one because I don't think either one of them have that dog in them, overrated. Clowney has been in the league for 10 years and has never had double digit sacks, at least Burns did it once in 6 years. We need great talent evaluators and coaches for us to get better. I haven't given up on Canales yet.

I mean, Burns is gone and Clowney isn't in the long term plans, particularly as our main pass rusher. He's better than nothing however. 

We have many holes to fill, and I'm sure that the pass rush is out too priority on defense and could turn into our top priority overall depending upon how things shake out.

Clowney is one of the bigger draft disappointments. Not an outright bust but definitely a disappointment and has just managed to have a long NFL career basically on just sheer freak talent. That guy hit a Michigan RB really hard one time and has been living off of that highlight play ever since. It's pretty unreal.

Lot of parallels between Clowney and Bryce, Chief among them being that folks with eyes and a lick of common sense struggled to understand where the hype was coming from. Clowney just rode the wave.

I think they're kinda opposites. With Clowney, people got obsessed with the potential based on physical talent. With Bryce people were willing to completely overlook all of the glaring red flags on the physical talent side because they were convinced he was some type of football wizkid savant.

He's mostly been a role player / complementary pass rusher his whole career. 

Now that he's on a team that sucks and doesn't have anyone else to take attention away from him? It shouldn't really suprise anyone that this was the result.

If anything you should be more upset about that D.J. Wonnum signing. He's had a similar sort of role as a complementary pass rusher playing on the opposite side of Danielle Hunter. But he hasn't even seen the field with us in 6 games into a 17 game season. That's inexcusable.

Yeah, well Wonnum is at 6.5 mill a year, so the expectation is less

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      By Panther53521 · Posted

      After watching Dan for 3 yrs now, I think I understand his plan. It’s a simple plan that should work for the long run.     I saw some of this last yr. Dan wants a vet and a young player at each position. I really think we go OT if one they like there. Moton is aging, Icky will not be back until 27, if ever. We need to get ahead of the tackle problem

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      You are just stressing too much about these particular positions. You want to upgrade from Bryce and I understand that but you aren’t going to really get that without getting into a bidding war for a QB2 potential QB1 like Willis. You could possibly trade for Mills or the backup for Chicago but they are still gambles and their teams will won’t decent picks.  Again the Eagles thought KP was a capable enough backup to trade for him once their backup was hurt and won a Super Bowl with him as QB2. The point is most teams aren’t rolling with some stud QB2/3 that is going to push even a bottom tier starter. They are better off the building their roster in other areas. The Rams are rolling with Bennett right now as QB2 for example.  The goal is winning absolutely. We overachieved last year even with stumbling into the playoffs. Another year and this staff needs to take the next step in building a team. Will Grier has little to no impact on that….

      Three straight first round WRs is straight up Matt Millen poo. Considering the draft capital we have tied up on Bryce after that trade we would basically have spent damn near all of our draft capital in recent years on QB and WR just to put one of the most anemic passing offenses in the league on the field. Clown show poo.
