So you are benching a player with 15million salary??

That's all-pro money he is right around Vita Vea and Ed Oliver!!

You can continue to defend this, but this is clear massive overpay. 

You didn't my first question, try to answer this one- Did you know tershawn wharton before Panthers signed him?

You are also aware of measurables- Compare to either arob or dbrown, he's about 4 inches shorter and around 50 LBs lighter.

This was a panic signing after Milton left them at the altar. 

 

The only saving grace is Brandt Tilis must have stood up on the table and believed he will be a future all-pro. 

Keep on eye on this.

Panthers will have the most expensive backup DL in the NFL.

It was an overpay, but he and Milton Williams had similar years on similar snap counts. Ideally we would’ve held out for the draft as there are a lot of those 5tech guys this year. But it’s not a rookie position. One injury away from trotting Nick Thurman back out there even with a draft pick. Quality pass rush from the 5 comes with a price. Yes it was steep, but he gives you more pass rush than a lot of guys at that spot.

Truth be told, form afar stats-wise he does seem on miltons level and maybe better against the run.

He's small, there's not other way to said it, others can claim hes not....but how is this guy a replacement for Dbrown or Arob?? He is not and was given all-pro money. 

I have gogglefu him and will report the good- Kyle Long said he was the hardest guy to block 1 vs 1.

He can eat and RIP to teppers million once he orders this-

 

He's got "juice" aka energy, he makes everyone rise theirs.

 

I hate to end on a low note- he torn a ACL in 2022

 

He's got to wreck and win games given his money...... Brandt Tilis has insight with the 5 years he's been watching. 

The Nerd is on watch now.....

Panthers exec Brandt Tilis won 3 rings in KC. He sees a Super Bowl path for Panthers - The Athletic

People have to remember we are a 3-4 base now, average weight for them is around 285 not 310+ like a traditional 4-3 DT, he's also a little on the shorter side (most of the best 3 and five techniques in the last 20 years have been) gives them a lower center of gravity.

The contract isn't quite atrocious. At the very least, there's a simple out after year 2. We're basically on the hook for 2 years, $30 million with the option to keep him on for a 3rd year at $15 million if he actually plays up to the contract. And in 2027, $15 million will probably be average starting DT salary.

Man, Brandt Tillis is already earning his paycheck.  I love how he structures contracts in length and ability to get out if it turns out the player isn't worth it and we need to cut bait.

Compare Wharton and Browns contracts together vs Milton Williams.  I really wish we could see the breakdown of the what the Panthers offered him cause Milton made bank.

Honestly the Williams deal is structured pretty well. Less than half of that contract is guaranteed money and they have an out after year 2(same as our deal with Wharton). Wharton's deal is 2/3 guaranteed money.

Not trying to be an ass but where are you seeing their deals?

For sure.  I was more pointing out overall. Wharton has 30 mil gtd vs Miltons 51.  Wharton 3 years vs Miltons 4.  The dead money is you want to get out of the contract after 2 years.

Milton's is well structured too with a crap ton of incentives.  It's just much bigger than what we gave Wharton/Brown.  I'm glad to see we have a ceiling, even players we really want.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
