I was just perusing the NFL statlab (first time I've noticed it) and I noticed some stats that, combined with the league leading (tied with Cameron Wake and Robert Quinn) sack total for 4-3 DEs, make CJ a shoe-in for best performing 4-3 DE in the league so far this year.

In my opinion, the most important stat for pass rushers (that NFL.com tracks, not talking advanced stats like PFF or other places like that) are sacks, forced fumbles, and tackles.

- As we all know, Chuck is tied with Wake and Quinn for most sacks by a 4-3 DE in the league.

- He also is also tied for leading the league in forced fumbles, with Elvis Dumervil. (And unlike any of the other DEs, he actually recovered 1 too)

- Of the aforementioned DEs, he has the second most tackles, 1 behind Wake.

So to total up the production of these 4 top DEs:

Chuck: 8.5 sacks, 5 forced fumbles (1 recovered), 21 tackles

Wake: 8.5 sacks, 1 forced fumble, 22 tackles

Quinn: 8.5 sacks, 1 forced fumble, 18 tackles

Dumervil: 7 sacks, 5 forced fumbles, 20 tackles

Looking at it simply like this, Chuck is obviously the most productive 4-3 DE in the game this year, so far. He definitely SHOULD make the Pro Bowl. Would be a shame if he, as many players before him, are penalized for being on a bad/small market team. Good job #95. Worth every cent.

I'd say that the 4th and 6th rounders that currently line up across from him are doing just fine.

Yea, the 6th rounder that starts across from him ain't too far off the 4 I listed: 6.5 sacks, 1 forced fumble (1 recovered), 25 tackles

ps. just noticed the tackles stats I've been listed are solo tackles, not solo + assists. Hardy would be tied with Dumervil for most combined of the 5. Chuck would be second.

In other news Falcons waived Edwards though he was just as god as Johnson at a lesser contract.....

Ray Edwards was a simple example of supply and demand...Falcons needed a pass rusher. Charles Johnson was by far the best one on the market. Panthers overpaid to keep him, and he turned out to be a consistent player.

Ray Edwards benefited from playing on one of the best D-Line's in the game at the time. Because of Charles Johnson's deal, Ray Edwards commanded a much higher salary that he wasn't really worth...just because there weren't many other alternatives on the market. Even though it was a small win, I'll take any Panthers victory over the Falcons right now. Keeping CJ away from the Falcons was the right move at any cost.

LOVE THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I was a little shocked initially at the price tag for CJ, but now seeing what we have against what we let go(peppers) and the options to replace CJ(Ray Edwards). I could not be more pleased with #95.

I understand that and they're doing awesome, but I still wana see consistency out of hardy that's all, and a Alexander is awesome, but just getting one more 1st and second rounder to play to their potential would put us over the top is all I'm saying

      You Done with Morgan Yet?

      Yes. Big surprise that the man that couldn't even operate a pizza joint even with his name value in Charlotte can't run an NFL front office. Can't get over his 2023 and 2024 draft classes. Taking XL, Brooks, Wallace takes a special skill of incompetence. Can't get over his plan at MLB. Was apart of the Fitterer team and their comedy of errors. We need fresh ideas in the building next year not only at GM, but in our scouting department.

      Alabama yes. In general the ‘SEC success guarantees NFL success’ fallacy was really tough to overcome too. You still have to look at the player and extrapolate what their college performance would look like against a team full of NFL vets.    I think 62 SEC players were drafted in 2023. But there were over 1600 players rostered on SEC a teams. You might even  face an SEC defense that had no one drafted. Like Vanderbilt had no one taken in 2025.  So you just can’t blindly hold that hey he was great in the SEC he is a lock. Damn, especially with a weak armed little guy with bad throwing mechanics,

      Can we all admit it now?

      The question was regarding Bryce only play well when the game doesn't matter and us out of reach. Bryce did not have a great 4th quarter but he had a great 1st half.  Started the game 4 of 5 for 45 yards and a passing TD. He made a lot of great plays in the drive where we scored our 2nd TD which was a short run by Chuba.  He also had a great run to pick up a first when the pocket collapsed around him.  Great pocket awareness and plenty fast and athletic enough. The point being he played very well at a time where the game was not out of reach or garbage time. That was my point and those games listed are the evidence that prove that point.
