Why do some of you think that Ron Edwards...

will be a good player for the Carolina Panthers?

I am very very confused by everyone thinking that the DT position problem was fixed when we brought him in. Not to mention that it will be better next year with him back, as he will only be 33 years old at seasons start???

Maybe someone can help me out on this one.

He was good against the Run in KC. He would not have been a pro bowl type of DT. but he would have been an experienced Vet, that we knew was able to stop the run. If you remember we were somewhat bad at stopping the run last year as well. So we brought in a guy to be that NT and take up doubles and takle RBS. Then we drafted Fua to be rotated in with him, and Maclain to be the pass rush DT. I think that the plan was to shore up the run stuffing DT by adding a guy that was proven in the NFL, at doing that. Nobody thought he was going to be Suh. But hew could have been a small step up from what we had in Kemo when he was 1st brought in. Not spectacular but not a pushover either. That doesnt mean we cant or shouldnt upgrade, but if you want an upgrade you would need to draft one, in the 1st as they dont grow on trees. Most people that say we might not need to take a DT next year are not saying its not possible to upgrade the DT spot, but instead think that there are other needs that we might want to use out 1st and second on.

Did you actually watch game file on him in KC? Or are you just pulling poo out of your ass?

Did I watch a lot of KC games last year? Yes. And I really don't see what everyone is so giddy about as if the dt is automatically fixed when he comes back.

    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

    • Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
