Atogwe had 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles in 2010. Since becoming a full-time starter in 2006, Atogwe has 43 combined forced fumbles and interceptions _ the most in the NFL over that time.

He's 29 years old, defensive captain for the Rams in 2010 and one of their best players if not THE best player for them on defense. The only reason he's being released is that he's due an $8 million roster bonus that they don't want to pay.

Looks to me like a massive upgrade from Godfrey, and it would allow us to push CG to backup, strengthening our depth.

Great blitzer and a huge gambler everywhere else. The epitome of high risk/reward type of player.

Not sure he is really what we need right now...

Couldn't u say the same about Godfrey? Aggressive but usually out of position? At least otogwe has been in this league for a while and has the same attitude. Ya godfrey had a lot of ints but the guy is the epitome of inconsistent. Problem is the price otogwe might command.

      Why do people think Bryce Young won this game yesterday?

      By MechaZain · Posted

      I think we have some revisionist around it here because of all the drama around Tepper's involvement. If you pull up any scouting report from the time you'll see the same take. WalterFootball's report sums up the media's thoughts on him well: "Young has everything the NFL is looking for in a quarterback except in terms of weight and height." He was the consensus top QB of his draft and the only real question mark they had about him was whether his body could hold up in the NFL. The infamous Steph Curry comparison the Panthers latched onto came from Albert Breer. The excuses I've heard for him are more anecdotal. Bryce Young's development is the only bullet point most NFL fans have on the Panthers right now. That and the coaching turnover. If you're not actually watching our games it's easy to believe this is just a dysfunctional organization that doesn't know how to unleash this talented Heisman winner.  I've seen media and fans alike run with that narrative way more than criticizing Young outright. Whenever we win there's flocks who use it as proof that the Panthers just need to be patient.

      So maybe 1-3 vs playoff teams, going by standings as of today. I guess that is an improvement.  We are just about improved enough to be in purgatory draft wise. It really isn’t so bad in the 1st unless you really want that top QB or maybe edge guy because there are usually plenty of good players at the top but it hurts you some as get deeper in the draft.
