since we hired Ron Rivera as the head coach and he is known for his 3-4 D. how do you guys fill about the switch. Do we have the personnel?

Rivera's most feared defenses were in Chicago running the 4-3 there.

Im sure he'll evaluate the talent and run a little of both. Don't think it would be out of question to see brown and norwood at DE and then stand up and drop back into coverage if he thinks we have the ability to do it. nothing wrong with mixing it up.

He was the DC for the Bears the last time they went to the Superbowl, considering they pretty much rode the Defense to the Superbowl that year you could say that he's a better 4-3 coach then a 3-4 coach.

in 2005 his 4-3 allowed an average of 12 pts a game

in 2006 his 4-3 allowed an average of 15 pts a game.

his 2010 3-4 was better in yardage but allowed an average of 20 a game.

      Ex-Panthers great Steve Smith sued under 'homewrecker law' for alleged affair.

      Smitty is a legendary footballer player but this has really damaged his reputation as a person. You don’t cheat on a woman who has been with you through everything and gave you children and especially not with another man’s wife. He doesn’t even have any remorse about it, acting like nothing happened.

      The Athletic's "Undrafted Player to Watch"

      By Panthers Rhule · Posted

      That's a big ass center! Is there any center in the NFL that weighs 320 lbs? Also, we drafted a center last season. Not sure this guy is a center even if he took reps at the senior bowl. Looks like a guard to me unless his build is better suited to a lesser weight. In a zone scheme centers need to be able to move quickly.

      The majority of NFL draft picks don't play all too many snaps lined up directly across from another NFL player, and I don't think many people really realize this. Unless you play a game against one of the 2-4 schools that are putting half their lineup into the NFL each season, most teams who have multiple draft picks, MIGHT only have 2-4 draft picks in any given season. Some skill positions get around 30 players drafted each year, other positions are in the teens to low 20's.  With at least a handful of them coming from non power conference schools too.  So the odds for any WR or CB to get too many games lined up directly against another future draft pick is pretty low. The better odds are that they get lined up against a future NFL player, i.e. a junior or senior WR getting lined up against a freshman or sophomore DB who will get drafted in a couple of years. Then if you take it one step further and look for players who actually play in the NFL and make a difference.   You're basically looking at players drafted in the first 3 rounds of the draft, so a little less than 100 players a year, spread out across all the positions and conferences (which in today's massive conferences, teams have even lower odds of player the teams with more NFL players than ever before).
