As Top Pick, Fairley Could Bring Panthers Some Luck

Recommended Posts

The following article is written by one of our new writers Bill Voth who is a sports anchor for WSOC-TV in Charlotte, North Carolina. Mr. Voth is going to help us cover the Panthers leading up to the NFL Draft. Enjoy.

He’s a dominant force on the interior of the defensive line. He won the Lombardi Award, which recognizes the college football’s best lineman.

But he comes with question marks. There’s some controversial stuff in his past. Critics say he’s a “dirty” player. When his mouth gets going, sometimes it doesn’t stop.

So who is it?

I think with Rivera here, the dirty player image will get recast somewhat. Aggressive players tend to hit folks late or act "dirty". It is hard to have both aggressive guys and guys who are considered squeaky clean. I am not talking Scott Fujita or Gregg Williams type dirty which is intentional and systematic, but guys who leave it all out there sometimes cross the line. It happens.

So I don't think that Fairley being a talker and on the edge is a bad thing in Rivera's mind.

I might be the only one but I love the fact that he is dirty and has a Mean streak. If that his only problem then I can't wait too have him on this team. This Dline has needed an asshole since Jenks was traded. Being nasty and dirty is a good trait for a player in the trenches too have. Like a James harrison a player like that can bring the nasty too other players on the defence.

Do anyone remeber when Jenk's got into that thing with Sapp and it seem like the rest of the defence and the team hated the Bucs. We need that kind of player back now.

I have not problem with having a mean streak either as long as it doesn't lead to stupid drive killing penaltys.

I don't mind a dirty play here and there if it sends a message like (you will think about running up the middle again or it makes a QB throw the ball early).

Like the play in Atl years ago when it was was blown dead but Vick kept running and Jenks blasted him.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
