Should the Panthers give DA another 1 year contract?

Yea, DA hasn't PROVEN that he's a good backup for us since he hasn't seen the field but I can't imagine we'd find anyone to be a better backup. The only thing that should prevent his resigning is if he wants a chance to compete for a starting gig. And I don't see that as likely. As long as the money's right, he should return.

this. some of you are acting like we need to secure tom brady as our backup qb.

No, but have you watched DA attempt to play football the past 3 yrs? very bad stuff in 30 starts.....40 something comp % with lots of INTs. We need to secure someone who can make plays and not hurt the team......neither Claisen or DA appear to fit that mold.

    • It wasn't a his sack production, it was about his skill set, build, and scheme fit. He's a six foot tall 280 pound DT. He's best used as an interior pass rushing specialist. He can't play the nose in a 3-4 and he doesn't have the length or burst to play he end either. He just wasn't a scheme fit. He'd be a good roster piece as a rotational pass rushing specialist DT to bring in on passing downs in an even defensive front. But you can't hand out a 3 year/$45M contract for that either. Tha type of contract means you have to try to find starter snap numbers for him and that's a problem in a 3-4 front. Hell, it's a problem in a 4-3 front too. That's why the Chiefs were willing to let him walk.
    • Quite a few people argued we way overpaid high end starter money for a guy that was basically a capable backup at best. It was a bad move facilitated by a need to save face after missing out on Williams. It is what it is man. We aren't being paid to carry Dan Morgan's water. It'll be alright.
    • Who else at DT was available coming off a 6.5 sack season, that was relatively affordable?  We took the Milton Williams money and added Turk AND Bobby Brown III. You can't predict soft tissue, and surgery in this case. Part of the business.
