31 years old..who cares..better than 31 games total experience of our current DT's

We need to get henderson, this FO needs to do something more than sit on their ass in fa and keep JR's pockets thick. Where did the Peppers money go..use that! We have a chance to have a special team here if we can get better on the DLine.

I think that is a lame excuse. We have a relatively young team already. How is one 31 year old going to be a difference? I say we sign him to a 2-3 year deal to help our DL while we wait for Tank and Irvin to come into their own.

I was honestly thinking the *exact* same thing. I mean, honestly, what's the big deal? He's played against some awesome running backs in his day, Chris Johnson, Edgerrin James, and Eddie George. Heck, he even played beside of Albert Haynesworth in College.

We need some experience in the line-up, and not all youth. This guy could definitely anchor the line.

if they get run over next year it will be all their fault. that's all i have to say. they let ma'ake and hollis both go, and they've made no effort to replace their size upfront except for louis leonard.

Sarcasm guys. I would love Henderson. And as for who cares? Richardson, period. Look at our roster and salaries. He doesn't fit the 'new' mold.

This guy has someone slap him in the face pregame to fire him up. How can you not want a DT who likes to come on the field pissed off and ready to kill?

Referenced in the other thread too.

Smitty would get that job if he signed here.

(which probably isn't likely)

Yeah, I asked Darin Gantt on Twitter if Carolina was looking at Henderson, and his reply?

Doesn't look that way. RT @beardsonfire Is there any chance Carolina goes after John Henderson, who is getting released from Jacksonville?

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
