* Rivera has a great defensive mind

Did their Rookie DT's play good? I am a big fan of their draft, but i wasn't expecting Star and Short to dominate right off the bat. Especially against the Ravens O line. I haven't got to see the game. I was out here directing traffic for Madison Central v Brandon football game. Your from the Sip so you know who that is. Brandon ranked #1 in the state right now.

Shoot yeah. Man, those boys were dominating. It was scary. Made me very glad they took Cam instead of Darius.

* Yeah, to me they have the best DE combo in the NFC. Next year or maybe two years from now they could have the best D line in the NFC. Freaking legit they got Star and then Short. They compliment each other so well.

* Their defensive line was the key to his success. They disrupted Flacco's rhythm. In my humble opinion, Spoon could have put up those stats without too much trouble if he was a Panther( a sight I never want to see).

* Dline is the reason for Kuechly to do what he did against the Ravens. Star and Short were destroying the middle of their Oline. Each with 1 sack and 3 TFL. Even when double teamed, Star still held them up.

Basically the DTs allowed Kuechly to run free. Every great MLB out there or has ever been out there, has had help from their Dline in freeing them up. Kuechly was a tackling machine with an eye for the ball last season with zero support in the middle of the line, if the DTs hold up, there could be a defensive player of the year award somewhere in Kuechly's future, down the road.

* The Panties front seven is sick. They punked us last year before the additions on the DLine. We better bring our lunch pail when we play em.

* AJ Klein may become really good... he and Kuechly = ouch

* Kuechly put almost every LB in the NFL to shame save Patrick Willis. Not sure why you're singling out the Falcons

* He is a beast. I'd take him over all our LBs over Spoon (yes, I know he's a MLB).

* Kuechly is a beast. I'm still surprised (and annoyed) that he fell to the Panthers. I know LBs aren't as highly valued as they should be but he was, and is, a much better player than #9 overall

* I liked Kuechly because he showed & proved last season he was more than capable. the young DTs yall drafted is gonna pay off big, but the thing that scared me down the line was when yall got AJ Klein. if he stays healthy and plays to his ability it'll be like having Kuechly a & b.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers.

      Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
