Really hope the DL doesnt hold us back next year..honestly think this DT rotation could be one of the worst in the league. I dont think the draft was the answer but we should've spent a little bit of money in fa and got a decent tackle. Not to mention we're not gonna have peppers eating up double teams on the line next year. I foresee having to stack the box a few times next year.

The DL is definitely an unknown but I think it has potential to be really solid. We've got some guys that were making noise before their injuries coming back this year. There's also a great chance they make a move in free agency once teams start making room for their rookies.

What DT in FA was so great that we needed them? I really don't remember a single one.

If there was a difference maker available at our selection I imagine we'd have taken a long, hard look.

From what I've seen of our DT's and from the tape/scouting reports the guys available at our picks aren't better than the guys we already have.

    • I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.
