Did Panthers Find Their Superman On Defense?(Nfl.com)


Recommended Posts

The

Carolina Panthers

couldn't have hit a bigger home run in last year's draft. Armed with the top overall pick, they grabbed Cam Newton and watched the rookie quarterback transform their offense. The team went from scoring an NFL-worst 12.2 points per game in 2010 to 25.4 last season, tied for fifth best in the league.N

ewton didn't do this alone, but he came close. Nobody wanted to deal with Carolina's offense by season's end, but the Panthers were made human by their defense.

We can't give Carolina a top grade in this draft because they failed to address the defensive tackle position, but there's no mistake about the first round: They hit it big with Luke Kuechly.

Just as Newton did at quarterback, Kuechly turns the linebacker position from a weakness into a strength, based on the health of

Jon Beason.

Kuechly projects as a middle backer long-term, but will likely start on the weakside with Beason lined up inside. Kuechly is praised for his versatility and steady play; a smart defender who spoke to Panthers reporters about his love of preparation. He's mature,

but said, "You can be a different person when you play. You don't have to be nice. You can change your mind-set a little bit."

"He's exactly what we thought he is," coach Ron Rivera

told the team's official site after Friday's rookie

We making up names for our LB core now?

Beason - Beast (already established)

Kuechly - Clark Kent? (kinda weak nickname)

TD - ?

Andy - ?

Think we just need a group nickname, like mt rushmore or something not that gay

(just trying to start something)

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
