DeAngelo Beason

The whole team played poorly. This seemed more like a team that wasn't prepared.

Blocking scheme was pretty bad. I wouldn't put it all on Ickey. No one in the NFL would succeed left on an island like he was yesterday.

If Cam had been drafted by a team like the Bills I think he'd have a very similar career trajectory, but setting that factor aside, Allen is a better player overall.

There ya go

Rookie jitters. The hands are going to improve. What I'm liking is that he's getting open early and often. I'm not worried about his hands long term.

I think it's just a... surgence? Not necessarily a resurgence.

Normally with a high pick I'm inclined to take something like a stud DE, but I've noticed young DE's seem to take a year or two to develop against the run. That's the last thing we need right now. I'd lean toward addressing DE in free agency and use the draft to build up the interior of the line and the linebacking corps. A force of nature beside Derrick Brown is exactly what this team needs to get back to the playoffs. We've beefed up the o-line. Now we need to do the same with the D line. Luckily, it doesn't seem we need to spend much time or resources on skill positions, so we should have the ability to focus on defense.

He got achilles tendinitis before the season even started....

He's glass. Always was. Trading him was the right decision. I've been saying since day one San Fran was going to see the real McCaffery, and here he is ladies and gents. They've basically gotten a season and a half out of him.

Not going to bother reading the post. No he's not. He's playing well. What's killing us is having the worst defense in the NFL.

In the water I'm taking a dolphin over all of em.

As a non-member of the rivalry, I've noticed the exact opposite. My friends and I have along called the Tarheels the Dallas Cowboys of college basketball. It's maddening.

This team is way too horrible to have any kind of opinion on him. I don't think there can be any real judgement until we have a real QB, and a defense that isn't utterly decimated with injuries.

A rare win for the Panthers in a trade, though I will stand by what I've always felt about Mingo. He's got potential that this team simply could not harness.

It's not just the worst Panthers team ever... It's the worst team ever. Yes, I know there have been teams that went a whole season without a win, but we are on pace to have the worst defense in the history of the game.
