Thomas Keiser was tied for the lead for sacks in the preseason with Quinton Coples?

Congrats @ThomasKeiser for being the defensive sack leader in the NFL preseason games. Great work! @Panthers http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/stats

I know Hurney mentioned Frank Alexander as possibly being our 3rd end last night, but I think Kesier has to get some serious consideration. Our top 5 DEs may be the best group in the league (CJ, Hardy, Applewhite, Keiser, Alexander) as far as depth, behind NYG.

Kieser is the type guy who makes a football team good.

Why need more of those guys. Nothing flashy....but a legit football player that makes good depth at a postion bc he can actually play.

A white Al Wallace. Now all we need to do is find a starter for him to backup across from CJ

Warning: Debbie Downer Alert.

I don't think anyone outside Carolina is going to buy the Panthers as the #1 DE corp in the NFL.

We have Charles Johnson. That's it.

We have a few hustle guys like Alexander and Keiser. But we don't stack up to other DLines.

No, based on talent, NYG is the clear cut #1. But depth AND talent 1-5, I think we give them a run for their money.

People are down on Hardy, but let's see what he does this year. If he isn't showing any progress through the midpoint of the season, then we'll need to address that then, but if he plays up to his potential, people will have to take notice this season.

Debbie Downer Alert #2.

I don't think anyone outside of Carolina is going to buy Carolina as the 2nd best DE corp outside of the NYG right now...

Philly for example....there starting 2 DEs had 29 sacks last year between the 2 of them. Minny had 30 between their 2 starters. There are several the ahead of Carolina in terms of DE depth. Those teams would also suggest they have guys who haven't maxed out their potential yet.

    • He'd be a huge upgrade for this year, but we're still not going to be contenders with him and I'd rather keep the cap space to roll into next season to spend on a younger player who can be an impact starter for us for the next 3-5 years while we're hoping to contend.
    • Because playoff hockey and regular season hockey aren’t the same thing.  It’s a combination of the game intensity being dialed up with loose officiating.
    • The last 8 weeks, Nix had 2,022 yards, 21 TDs, 6 INTs on 70% completions While Bryce's last 8 games he had 1,709 yards, 12 TDs (albeit adding 5 more rushing), 3 INTs on 61% completions. I'm not going to pretend I watched those Broncos games to know exactly how Nix actually looked, but in retrospect, his statistics were better.  Hell, in just his final 8 games, Nix had only 5 less TD passes than Bryce has in his 30 game (28 starts) career. And you said he had better WRs than Bryce did, but I'm not even sure that's even true either. Sutton and Thielen might be completely different types of WRs, but I'd say they are pretty equal on effectiveness if not even a slight edge to Thielen (63.6 YPG for Sutton to 61.5 for Thielen).  Then XL and Coker vs Marvin Mims and Devaughn Vale, again, at worst a push, if not lean in our favor there too. Why is it so hard for some Panthers fans to just objectively look at our team/Bryce and be honest with themselves. ? He was significantly improved the final two months of the season from his first season and a half.  But he was still a below average QB during that time, even if he had a few good throws and clutch moments.
