So anywho...

 

This is more of an indictment of Ealy's play then it is about Charles Johnsons injury. 

Ealy has been doing a whole lot of nothing to bad teams so I guess they figured they would not try there luck with Sea and GB.  It was a smart move if you ask me. Also CJ has not looked healthy all year, I would not be surprised if we cut him next year, keep Allen, and draft a DE next year.

I love when people use the term "sad" on here.  What you are actually trying to convey is that you feel you are intellectually superior to the other poster.  I find that sad.   

Saying "sad" on the internet is just a cheap easy way to irritate somebody youre arguing with.  I dont think it has anything to do with egotism.

At least this time he will get to rebuild his team by tanking in his first season as head coach.  

True but it has to be like dating the fugly girl all year so your not alone.  He'll fox didn't even clap for Pickles, it was just a slow chew on his bubble gum.

Not to piss on anyone's parade but both Bears and Vikings fans claim he is washed up. Let's hope that magic we've had with bringing in players from different teams: Mitchell, Ginn, Drayton Florence, Kurt Coleman, etc. rubs off on Allen 

Well with the bears, as has been mentioned, he was out of his element. As far as the Vikings, there's a good chance he's "washed up" like Smitty was "washed up" to some folks around here... I mean take that attiude & imagine he went to the Falcons.

You are welcome to your opinion but I don't believe you can say that Jared Allen won't be as effective as Hardy was 2 years ago.  A 5 time Pro Bowler getting a chance to rejuvenate his career. 

What do you bet he comes in with a new fire and determination to show he still has it.  Add the fact that he has some solid interior line help.  

I wouldn't be surprised to see him get 10+ sacks in 13 games.

Possibly but you forget that Hardy was valuable for attributes other than sacks.  Hardy was a nasty special teams gunner (though I think we started to pull him from that role once the sacks started coming).  Hardy was a great lineman both on the inside and as an edge rusher.  Hardy was also great against the run and at chasing down screens and mobile quarterbacks.

The big difference here is that Hardy has unnatural raw speed for a man of his size.  He's very similar to Peppers and Robert Quinn over in St Louis.

I do hope Jared Allen rejuvenates his career and has an animal year, and I certainly think that is a possibility.  I don't think we should downplay just how great that dline in 2013 was though.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
