Panthers have the best DE duo?

Seeing the dline get pressure these past few weeks with 4 down has been bringing back great memories of the early Fox era line. I think they are finally maturing to what we hoped they would be.

Helps out with the draft too because I firmly believed we would draft a pass rusher next draft in the first back in week 3.

I'm starting to think we should get a DB or WR in 1st round and 2nd instead of DT. Both Charles and Greg, along with Frank and Thomas are doing good at DE and Dwan and Ron are doing good.

Ron is eligible for social security next year. If we don't want a big drop off in our line play, we need a good young DT. I wouldn't be upset if he came from FA, but I'm firmly on the Starwagon right now.

Yea, you're right and I'd be happy with Star or Jon. However if we start to win more and none of them are available then go with CB Dee Milliner or WR Keenan Allen.

Dwan will be 32 next season and Ron will be 34, we can't exactly keep counting on them to be our starters. We need to inject some kind of talent and since we're going to tight on cap space, we'll need to look through the draft for it.

We had a good game in which our front four got good pressure, and people are claiming we have the best pass rushing DEs BWAHAHAHAHA! Before today, when was the last time Charles Johnson had a sack? Ah, I think it was when we played Atlanta, in front of his hometown fans.

Hey dumbass, you miss his 2 sacks and forced fumble last week?

Are you high? He had two sack/strip-fumbles last week. And the "best duo" question (notice the question mark?) is based on them leading the league in sacks. Stats don't tell everything, and I wouldn't go ahead and anoint them, but it's not baseless conjecture to discuss it.

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
