In 2007 with pepper's 2 1/2 we had 23 sacks. In 2009 with pepper's 10 1/2 sacks we had 31 sacks. In both cases without Peppers we had 20 sacks. Even if Brown And Johnson have career years we won't get more than 25. It could be a lot less.

Our defense isn't built around blitzing, we need to read and react to limit the rushing yards we surrender, and with no one demanding double teams it will hard to find that many favorite 1 on 1 matchups.

very true, I'm not going to predict it but this is the most likely outcome.

How Many Sacks Will The Panthers Have In 2010?

The key to how effective the Panthers defense will be in 2010 is their pass rush, so what's your best guess?

Here is my list of the Panthers players I expect to have sacks this season, with what I think their probable range of sacks might be, followed by my best guess at their individual sack total.

DE-Everette Brown: 3-8 (6)

DE-Charles Johnson: 2-5 (3)

DE-Tyler Brayton: 2-5 (3)

DE-Greg Hardy: 1-5 (2)

DE-Hilee Taylor (if he makes the team) 0-2 (1)

DT-Tank Tyler: 0-2 (1)

DT-Louis Leonard: 0-2 (1)

DT-Corvey Irvin: 0-3 (1)

DT-Ed Johnson: 0-2 (1)

DT-Backup (Hayden, Landri, or Neblett) 0-3 (0)

LB-Thomas Davis 1-4 (2)

LB-Jon Beason 0-2 (0)

LB-James Anderson 0-2 (0)

LB-Dan Connor 0-1 (0)

LB-Jamar Williams 0-1 (0)

LB-Eric Norwood 0-3 (1)

DB's 1-5 (2)

TOTAL: 24

I hope I'm way off on this prediction (I graded very tight trying to be totally impartial), because they will need at least around 30 sacks for the defense to be very effective. If they slip to around 20 sacks (or lower) it could collapse, pulling the DB's and LB's down along with the D-Line.

What's your best guess?

Unbelievable

      Okay gentlemen, REAL talk...

      Here's the thing. You compared him to Jake. Jake was signed to the practice squad out of college. Bryce was the number 1 overall. Their expectations are wildly different and so are their contracts. You can talk all you want about what a player is and where they are now and all this other mumbo jumbo, but Jake never had a 5th year option and we weren't talking about the possibility of a top 5 QB contract extension at the end of his 3rd year. What he was expected to be matters because we invested heavily at a cost of future capital, including a 2nd round pick this year, for him to be that guy. The cost to add Bryce took value from the team. To be worth it, he has to add that value back.  Actually, I don't prefer yards, TDs, or only INTs. All those stats by themselves are misleading which is why I said you have to use a lot of different stats. ADOT - Average depth of target.  Completion %. Pretty obvious until you factor in ADOT. 0-5 has a lot higher C% than 10-15%. Hang time. If a pass is in the air for 4.6 seconds vs 3.1 on a 40 yards throw, that gives a DB a lot of time to correct. Is it a loft or is it a laser.  EPA - Expected points added. A way of measuring QB efficiency on every play.  CPOE - ranking pass completions based on several factors, not just the throw.  There's obviously more, but those are the more common.  Typical stats don't show everything. You need to look all over. Looking at a stat line is lazy. That's why I said, you need to analyze everything. Once you start looking at the numbers you start looking at the player. That's why you follow numbers. They lead you places. You look at what happening when the numbers show you patterns. That's where you start finding the problems that yards, TDs and Ints won't show you.

      ESPN guys talk Bryce fifth year option

      It's not relevant who wins or loses. It's about actually attempting to get better at the position.

      Bryce might be the most frustrating player we've ever had.

      Thank you. I don't understand how the Bryce stans don't see this. I've never seen a player get more hyped for doing so little. Honestly it's driving me a little insane.
