By the end of 2008, who do you think was the Panthers' best defensive end?

It's hard to choose because they are both SO amazingly awesome. I'm just glad they stayed healthy. Sure can't rely on DWill or Stewart to do anything... "Double Trouble"... ppfftt... that's for sure... :rolleyes:

Wait a minute -- the name "Double Trouble" wasn't created for Birmingham and Goings? :confused:

I would have really changed my suggestions in the many nickname threads had I known that.

Yeah I guess you gotta throw the scrubs a bone every once in awhile, to show you haven't totally forgotten about them. Thanks for sucking guys, here's a crappy nickname.

people are mad

emotions are running rampant

I thought it was all business

guess not. Peppers wanting out has struck a nerve so deep that threads like this are starting.

COMPLETELY ridiculous. Lying to yourself must make this easier on some of you simpletons

i agree

If Peppers is our best DE then we are screwed.

true in a sense. the sense that he doe not want to be here. Him in a situation he is happy with is a different story. If he wanted to be here, I welcome his return and am happy about the future with him on the D.

This is not the case however. Marty Hurney is just trying to force the issue at the potential cost of the entire off season.

Good luck MH.

I agree he dose not want to be here but Hurney is trying to get something out of the deal and I do not knock him for that. At some point Peppers will have to sign and then we can deal him at will. What gets everyone upset is that know one knows how its gonna play out and its coming at a high price tag.

well said. I am all for compensation too, who isn't. But at what cost? A first rounder is not nearly compensation for what we have already sacrificed this season IMO.

Wait, you guys were actually impressed by Peppers in our game against Arizona? Or are we ignoring the subordinate clause in the topic title so that we can jump down each other's throats?

"By the end of 2008" does not exclusively refer to the last game we played. It could refer to the entire season or a specific span of time, which wasn't mentioned.

I'll hardly concede that Brayton is our best defensive end off of one game.

(Me thinks Fiz is having a good laught at us all right now).

      Clowney released

      By Waldo · Posted

      Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.

      Sorta related.  I just looked up a stat:  Success rates for NFL draft's second rounders.  I was surprised that it is 49%.  The success rate for first rounders is 58%.   Here success does not mean those that did not bust, it means that roughly half of the players selected in the second round become full-time starters at some point in their careers.  Busts do that too.  However, considering the fact that a first round talent is worth up to 1800 points (first overall pick) more than the first pick of the second round and as low as 350 points (last pick in first round) higher than the last pick in round 2, it seems there could be cases in which it would be to your advantage to trade out of round 1 and draft two or three second rounders for the value.  Of course, the elite players are likely to be gone, and some positions overwhelmingly suck after round 1 (traditionally, like QB or LT, for example), but if you need to find starters at positions like DT, G, LB, S, C, TE, RB, etc, there could be a time when you trade back for more starters.  I was surprised that the margin between rounds 1 and 2 was only 9%.    While I realize that some of you sofa scholars are thinking, "Well duh?  Trading back gives you more players." as you wipe the Cheetos off your shirt.  Not the point.  The point is you have to consider the draft,the needs (and the number of them), and you need to scout the second and third rounds like you do the first, the cap, and the long-term impact.  If you can find 2 players with a 49% chance of becoming a starter, are you better off than drafting one player who has a 58% chance in the long term? So if I traded away my first rounder for two second rounders (a trade most teams would make) regularly, when I got 10 second rounders (by trading 5 first rounders), 5 would be starters.  If I did not trade and kept my 5 first rounders, 3 would be starters.  Furthermore, their rookie contracts would be much cheaper than the 5 first rounders.
