Star Lotulelei and Kawann Short

I believe a combined 4 TFL against the Rams and pressure throughout. Pushed the pocket, very distruptive. Who would have ever though that these two rookie DT's would be making this big of an impact so early in their careers? Especially with the rough transition rookie DT's have in the league.

 

Major props to our budding stars, Coach McDermott and Coach Washington for coaching these two studs up quickly.

Short's first step is actually getting better it seems. I'm still wary of the Rookie Wall crashing hard on them.

 

The bright star here is how much better they are going to become.

 

Stronger/Faster + Star/Short = Many lul's for Panthers fans.

I am too that's why Dwan coming back is much needed. Gotta keep the young guns fresh.

They're not taking as many snaps as they did in college and we have a good rotation, which will improve even more once Dwan gets back.

 

I'm not that worried about the rookie wall.

 

I'm just estatic that both are playing so well, particularly in the areas they aren't known for, ie: Star as a pass rusher and KK as a run defender.

    • I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.  
    • Thank god BigKat can't buy it because I'd be gone immediately 
    • Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
