If we don't have two in Tershawn Wharton and Tre'Von Moehrig then we made two big ass mistakes in free agency. If those signings pan out we should have at least four core players on D in Brown, Horn, Wharton, and Moehrig. I would consider Jackson at CB as a "potential". Same with Trevin Wallace at LB. 

The offense is in a lot better shape than the defense because of the line.  That's pretty much it.  We are lacking stars on both sides of the ball.

Definitely baffling. I have no idea why you're paying a safety big money in today's NFL when he's a liability in coverage. The era of the undersized LB at safety is over.

The only way it works is if you run a cover three scheme and you have a Earl Thomas or Ed Reed caliber player at FS. And even then I think you're best served to try to use that in the box SS as a position to save cap space. You're not trying to pay that guy. You just want a "check the box" player there because that type of player isn't highly sought after (or at least shouldn't be) in today's NFL.

Unless they plan to use him as a pass rusher too. Evero's system has more success blitzing DBs than LBs.

I agree, but... The offense looked better with Diontae in it and Andy throwing. I don't know what the heck Bryce was doing at the beginning of the season. When Diontae started to check out, the offense crapped the bed - bad. They looked better because Bryce played really well after returning, making plays out of nothing and extending. We have to be able to get more routine big plays. And to do that you need receivers that can catch a pass 5-10 yards and turn it into 20-30 yards. Every big play pass can't be air yards only. QB will start to press and then bad things usually happen.

It was a classic over reaction. They worked so much elsewhere that going only run support at SS was a spaze move because of how bad run support was last year and how good he is with it. I do not see that one working out and if the front 7 is as improved in run support as it looks then he is useless.

Once clowney goes down thr pass rush will dry up is my guess. Not a good combo with him at SS.

Ezeiruaku is the kind of guy who will be drafted in the 2nd or 3rd and after the season people will wonder where he came from, because they were more concerned about how defined a prospects pecs were instead of production.

damn

 

and we still have folks screaming for Warren or tet

It's "moronic" to take a DE, provided that a TE or WR is the obviously superior player. Reaching for players is why we are where we are today. Reaching for players, particularly on day one, is not a viable recipe for team building, much less championships.

But, but, but... this guy with 4.5 career sacks sure looks and works out like he SHOULD be a player!!!

You’re always such a dick

Some people are dicks and working on improving.  He is a dick and proud of it.  In psychological terms, and I have some research in this area related to hostility in students with behavior problems that have also been observed in laboratory rodents, he likely suffers from a condition called Histrionic Personality Disorder (HPD). Expect him to illustrate this point in reaction to this post.

Wharton is literally just a rotational player, so I would be shocked if he meets any of those criteria at all.

Moehrig is a possibility but we literally haven't even seen him suit up yet.

Jackson is possible but I would say unlikely. 

Wallace meets none of the criteria and I don't particularly see the path forward on that. Hope I am wrong.

Wharton is "literally just a rotational player," until he isn't. Guys can only take advantage of the opportunities given to them, and of course some of that is going to depend upon the circumstances---the setting in which he is playing.

You are A)asking a completely moronic question and B)you were already discussing this in another thread

 

Simply googling his name and reading about him would give you a legit answer

If you don't like it, fug off 🤡. Acting like you're personally harmed from a thread. Go cry elsewhere.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.

      it's not so much this personal vendetta against the Carolina Panthers as it is more about Bryce Young never not once been in the same conversation with the top 15 or even top 20 Qbs in the NFL ..just saying
