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.

      Wanting that type of play and being okay with paying $55 million a season for it are two entirely different things. If Bryce were to become the same player Purdy has been, then he would surpass my expectations of him and I'd be okay with him as our QB of the future (and again, I've long been one of the bigger anti Bryce people here who doesn't think he is capable of being our long term solution). But in no world would I be okay with paying him THAT kind of money, paying an average starter elite money is just a terrible decision.

      I don't think they can overcome that mistake. Hell Lance was a hiccup compared to this. He isn't going to be able to carry that price tag and now he is going to have to do just that. Lol. The NFL is so dumb sometimes.

      So, one could say that T-Mac is quicker than someone of his size should be and while he might not be quite as fast as Evans in the 40, he's more athletic than Evans. If only someone, anyone, could have seen that in his tape and mentioned that on here, hmmmmmmm In all seriousness, hearing he tested in the 89th percentile in that drill at his size is crazy impressive.  Just tried to look up the times of the top WRs in the league right now, most don't show at time for that, but I did see Chase ran his in 7 seconds flat. I honestly don't know how true this is, but I do remember seeing one breakdown of his tape and the person said he has quiet and efficient feet.  That he's really good at using the minimal steps possible to make his cuts and because of that, it actually makes him look slower to the human eye because you don't see all the quick chop steps that the guys like Tyreek would use in their running. I'm still in a state of disbelief that he's a Panther and it might not fully hit me until week 1 and I see him out there making plays for us, still feels like Goodell is going to just be like, "YOU GOT PUNKED!!!  hahaha, he's a Cowboy now, suck it"
