32. Carolina Panthers: How the mighty have fallen. A few years ago, the Panthers had a brutally tough line featuring Julius Peppers and Kris Jenkins. No, they have try-hard guy Tyler Brayton(notes) to go with a bunch of JAGs (Just A Guy) like Nick Hayden(notes), Louis Leonard(notes) and Everette Brown(notes). Rookie Greg Hardy(notes) has potential, but he needs to get his head on straight.

The guys dont have alot of in game playing time together, so they aren't considered solid because they are unproven. They havent played along side of each other very much, but I'm almost certain by the end of the season they'll not be considered last in the league.

I admit, I didn't read the other thread nor did I read the article, but that first paragraph screams: "HEY LOOK I KNOW THE NAMES OF THE GUYS ON THE TEAM SO I'M GOING TO TYPE THEM IN SO THAT IT LOOKS LIKE I REMOTELY KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!"

While our D-Line might suck, man, that just looked like an appeal for approval.

Carolina DL might be good....but they are ranked going into the season exactly where they should be. No way to objectively argue another team is worse on the DL (if you use the same logic applied to Carolina for the other team people think we are better than).

DT spot is just too weak. DEs could get the job done with a stud and a decent DT on the line.

Pretty much agree, our Dline was pretty bad last year, and we lost our biggest threat by far in the offseason. Does a Dline of Brayton,Hayden,RandomGuy#2,Johnson/Brown scare anyone? Underachievers, semi-solid Veterans and question marks litter our line. Might not be 32, but it is definitely at the bottom of the league.

I don't think Kemo and Lewis really scared anyone either, but they weren't the worst D-line in the league then, and they won't be this year.

BTW, the Panthers defense gave up a lot of rushing yardage last year, but they were also ranked 9th in the league in scoring defense even though they often had to defend on a short field, so I don't think they're in as bad a shape as people think.

This team has a very good defensive coaching staff, and they will be ready.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
