Lost in the Donnie Avery discussion was the fact that the Panthers also worked out DE Jeremy Jarmon... interesting prospect according to this write-up:

If there's one position I think most fans would agree has been a very pleasant surprise it's been the defensive ends. Not that anyone doubted the talent of Charles Johnson or Greg Hardy, but there was tangible concern that a lack of pressure from the defensive tackles would result in the DEs being too often double teamed and taken out of plays, as was prevalent in the 2011 pre-season. With the move to cut Everette Brown and bring in George Selvie it appeared the depth at DE was established, but the Panthers are ensuring they leave no stone unturned when it comes to improving this football team.

Jason LaCanfora of NFL.com is reporting the Panthers are bringing in former Washington Redskins DE Jeremy Jarmon for a workout today. The 6'3", 286 lb Jarmon was a former 3rd round pick taken in the supplemental draft in 2009 out of Kentucky. He entered the draft following a positive test for a banned supplement, which was said to be an over-the-counter dietary supplement.

Traded from Washington to Denver this season in exchange for WR Jabbar Gaffney he was one of the final cuts the Broncos made in trimming their roster and was described as a 'tough cut'. After the jump you'll see Jarmon's statistics thus far, but remember he's been playing out of position- he is a 4-3 DE who was asked to play 3-4 DE in Washington's system, so I wouldn't be too dismissive of his lack of sacks. While at Kentucky he was a two time All-SEC defensive end.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
