Brown not worried about lack of sacks

Training camp’s a time when the shiny and new capture our attention.

Players who are steady, and quiet, and come without hype often fail to register.

But now more than ever, it’s clear how much the Carolina Panthers are going to need Everette Brown this season, and need him in a big way.

The second-year defensive end is almost easy to miss, except for the fact he’s perhaps their most promising pass-rush guy in a year they need all they can get. Despite that, he’s been overlooked through camp, since he opened as a backup (and since Tyler Brayton and Charles Johnson are better against the run), and seemed to be the only lineman who didn’t get a sack in the preseason opener at Baltimore.

Sorry Everette, Hardy has looked much better than you so far. You may be 3rd string.

I want to see Hardy play against some real offensive linemen......with Brayton banged up I'd like to see him and CJ with the first unit. Then we will get a feel for what he can do (well, at least those who haven't been to camp as I assume he has gone against some of our top guys there).

Brown and Hardy rushing from the edges on passing downs sounds like it should be a good combination.

I know a lot of people are down on Brown..no point trying to argue with them.

I'd also like to see Hardy with the starters during pre season. Want to see if can continue to play like he does against better players.

The general consensus going into the season was people were excited and looking forward to seeing Browns progress. After one unproductive preseason game in the rain, now people want him to play LB. I just dont get our "fanbase."

Nonetheless, he is basically our first round pick this year, so he has to produce. I just want to see him progress, which will not happen if the coaches decide to tamper by throwing him into a new position for shits and giggles.

The only folks suggesting he move to linebacker are posters who really don't know how different there are or what skills sets are required. Plus it is much easier to find a linebacker in a 4-3 system than it is to find a 4-3 DE.

but but but I heard that we are switching to the 3-4 and he will be a OLB cause of that. Don't ask me who told me that. I would have to kill u.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
