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.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
