The All-22: Breakdown of Panthers D-line play

One of the reasons the Carolina Panthers hired head coach Ron Rivera before the 2011 season is that the man knows how to turn a defense around. And the Panthers certainly needed that help — in 2010, their defense ranked 16th in Football Outsiders’ opponent-adjusted metrics, dropping to dead last in Rivera’s first year. But over the 2012 and 2013 seasons, while all the focus was on Cam Newton’s quarterback development and body language, Rivera and defensive coordinator Sean McDermott were building a fairly titanic front seven — the kind that could compete with any in the NFL when the conversation came around to the league’s best in that department. The 6-3 Panthers are buttressed by Luke Kuechly’s legitimate Defensive Player of the Year candidacy, linebacker Thomas Davis is criminally underrated, and if you want to see an active and effective defensive line in everything from base fronts to advanced blitzes, this group is as good as it gets. Carolina currently ranks first in FO’s metrics, and only the Kansas City Chiefs have allowed fewer yards and points this season.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By bandu · Posted

      take a  look around the league at other young Qb's around Bryce Young's age group  such as Drake Maye , Jayden Daniels, Bo Nix , CJ Stroud  & Caleb Williams who at the time like Bryce Young they also were drafted also joined teams with a losing record .the only difference with these Qb's is after joining their teams with a losing record they led those same teams to a winning record in a very short period of time .it's simply what you call a game changer & or elite Qb's & then take a  look at  the other side of the coin you have Qb's such as Trey Lance, Zach Wilson, Mac Jones, Justin Fields  & Anthony Richardson also like Bryce Young all first round picks who instead of winning either did not play or led their teams to a losing record while playing  just because Bryce Young was a #1 overall pick does not necessarily mean that he will become improve with time if history tells you anything it's matter of fact just the opposite . lBryce Young who has an overall record of 14-30 & wildly inconsistent & never in the history pf the NFL has a Qb 5'10" or shorter had a successful carrer as Qb in the NFL  you have to ignore alot of FACTS & be really ignorant to the FACT to think Bryce Young is the future at Qb if anything history is telling you exactly what ?..just saying

      to me these two signings were so bad for the Panthers at the time of our young team. "Sean Gilbert was signed by the Carolina Panthers on April 21, 1998, after being traded from the Washington Redskins in a deal that sent the Panthers two first-round picks (Nos. 5 and 12) to Washington. The Panthers then re-signed Gilbert to a 7-year, $46.5 million contract extension on the same date"  The other was Jason Peters being picked in the First round of the 1998 draft. "Peter played for the Panthers from 1998 to 2001, appearing in 38 games (starting 20) and recording 88 total tackles, 7.5 sacks, and 1 fumble recovery His NFL career was cut short by a chronic neck stinger, forcing him to retire after the 2001 season
