With Thomas Keiser cut, this now becomes an issue, especially with the staff's new focus on D-Linemen rotation. Of course, this is assuming that Johnson, Hardy and Alexander are locks for three of the roster spots, which is a pretty safe assumption.

 

So who do you think it will be? Do we have some yet to be developed talent on our roster, or are we going to have to pick up a free agent? If we go FA, are we looking for a gem on someone else's roster who gets cut due to depth, like Dwan last year, or a vet we can pick up for the minimum who can guide a still young Hardy and Alexander?

 

What say you?

Just did a little research on Wes Horton...

 

He was the 40th ranked player in the nation (rivals), but was only recruited by Pac 12 schools (then Pac 10). 

 

He started as a redshirt freshman and played well, but got injured his sophomore season and never really got his entire game back together. 

 

All together, he has good height and decent speed. He doesn't get off the line particularly fast but shed's blockers quite well due to his good hands.

 

I checked Horton's career stats and had 117 tackles, 14.5 sacks, and 18 tackles for a loss (not too shabby).

 

NFL.com compared him to Austen Lane...

      Tepper Era Strikes Again!

      So what about their sign is not compliant or causing the issue according to the rules? Them always having it, or the amount of time they have had it, or their loyalty to the team is not relevant to this situation. To be clear, I know next to nothing about this situation, just trying to clarify.  I have no dog in this fight and am emotionless on this topic. If you are breaking a rule, you do not get special treatment just because you have been here breaking it a long time.

      The team fell for that late season averageness he displayed last year and got burned. You want to do that again? I don’t.  But I sort of do agree that we are stuck with him as the starter.  I can’t decide whether replacing him gets us into the playoffs so suffering through one last season is the price for freedom in 2026.  Three ways to be free in 2026: He actually plays like a real NFL QB,  The team sends him packing. Be completely out on tne Panthers until changes are made.

      Short version = these people have had those seats since the beginning and haven't missed a game. They have always had their sign. They had to change the sign - I think in 2015 when Cam ripped that Packers fan's banner down (love him for that, by the way) - to be compliant and haven't had any issues in the last 10 years. The Panthers even used a photo of them and their sign in their album from the Falcons game. In the 3rd quarter last weekend it was decided that the sign needed to come down. Seems weird and unnecessary, especially since it has been there for every game for a decade.   EDIT: they've had it since 2003. Still a long-ass time.... Also "cringe" is a funny word for someone over the age of 18 who lives and overshares on the Huddle. But, ok....
