Who will they double team?

Hardy?

Johnson?

Star?

You can't double team them all. We are going to finally have pressure from just the front four.

That being the case, wait and see how our secondary magically improves by leaps and bounds.

Star doesn't really pass rush....

Tecnically correct... however....

His job is to push up inside and prevent the QB from stepping up and away from Johnson and Hardy. To keep him from doing that, he will need to be double teamed. That leaves Johnson/Hardy in much better position.

I'm not saying I don't agree with you, because his pass rushing moves need some work but.....

2012

Sharrif Floyd: 3 sacks

Sheldon Richardson: 4 sacks

Barkevious Mingo 4.5 sacks

Ziggy Ansah 4.5 sacks

Dion Jordan: 5 sacks

Star Lotulelei: 5 sacks

Obviously this doesn't account for QB pressures, but as far as getting to the Quarterback Star is on par or better than the players who were regarded as better pass rushers that were selected around his pick....

Exactly what I was thinking. If our D-Line stays healthy it will be a menace. Double team at your own risk.

It's also suddenly deep now.:

1 tech: Star, Cole, Kearse

3 tech: Dwan, Kearse

DE: CJ, Hardy, Alexander, Keiser

Holy poo.

He isn't much a of a pass rusher...pretty sure he even admits it. He isn't here to be that that so it doesn't matter. He is here so we aren't a joke up the middle and to actually make people around him better.....which we haven't had in years.

Watch 4 games of Star and Floyd each...and one of them penetrates and goes after the QB. Sacks don't really tell the full story.

Like the pick, just fail to see how in passing situations anyone would debate doubling him anytime soon

This. He got doubled for most snaps and even tripled at times and still got decent pressure and produced 5 sacks. His technique needs improving but he has ALL the tools to be a good rusher from the 1 tech.

I agree with you, all along I said his technique in pass rushing needed work and he's just not a natural pass rusher, just was pointing out an odd stat.

He makes effort sacks by pushing opponents into the Quarterback and making the play. Usually you don't see him use one or two moves to get at the QB. I think he could eventually be that, but for now we have exactly what we need in a run stuffer to occupy blockers....

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.

      Best part is if we draft him, we can also use him as our fourth and one QB sneaker
