Short thinking of wins. Contract on the back burner...

[Khyber53]

Yeah, KK had a fantastic year last year, so this year the competition pushes him harder. He hasn't been rising to meet that challenge. Something tells me the big contract at the end of the year will reflect it.

But by all means, let's start concentrating on wins any old time now.

Its not what it was last year but a lot of this bashing on KK seems like your trying hard to justify the Butler pick. We seen about 30 million double team treads I know you can find atleast 1 good play by KK. 

Its not like Luke , TD, & Shaq have been perfroming to last year but I dont see any threads about underperformance by Shaq but we all know everyone has their favitorite players.

Everyone has been underperforming. KK was an absolute beast last year so his play stands out the most because of that and his contract puts more attention to it. No player is going to play perfect all game. That being said, the LBs are not near as bad as our front 4 has been.

To my naked eye, Star is beating that ass. Short is just a bystander.

And boom goes the dynamite...sorry it was fitting. In saying you are correct

Yea but if the whole team is underperforming I would still like to see what other players are doing wrong also.

Please describe what you see because stats-wise he is near the bottom and on tape he's been getting owned by midtier guards. 

And what does the stats say about Star? Cause KK stats are better than Star's

Why you guys singling out one player on an entire unit that looks bad makes no sense, cause KK hasn't been paid a big contract so your expecations should be what he's currently making and not what he's not making

[Proudiddy]

If i was him right now, i wouldnt want to think about what couldve been with that contract either.

He's not worthy of a bank breaking contract. One of Gettle's strongest cases for not paying someone and I wouldn't lose any sleep if he weren't resigned.

I wouldn't just drop him.

But barring major improvement over what we've seen so far this season, I also sure as hell wouldn't throw big money at him.

[Riverboat Ron]

What if Gettleman tanked this year to get KK to sign for $14 million a year instead of $15 million.  Aliens!

[csx]

Hes not living up to what we expeted but the company line here of organized efforts to selectively belittle our players is off putting. 

[RoaringRiot]

Oh dear lord I can see it now....KK wants Cox+ money after an average season and the Huddle wants GMan killed for not paying it.

I doubt that. Seems everyone hates him now.

Gettleman was so worried about Norman's contract dispute messing up the team's chemistry...that he totally forgot about Short

Clearly people do not understand the difference between a 1 tech and 3 tech.

KK is more valuable than Star, and he will get paid here or somewhere else.

Is it KKs fault teams are able to freely double a 3 tech? KK is the only 3 tech that gets doubled. Star does not even get doubled when he is in a 3 tech.

It is the job of the 1 tech to draw double teams, and an edge rusher to take advantage of the edge when the 3 tech is doubled. What is hard to stomach from a 1 tech is when they are singled so the OL can double the 3 tech, and the 1 tech can not even push his man in to the QBs lap. The Saints did that a lot with doubles on KK and challenging Star to beat his blocker when they passed the ball - especially with their back against the end zone. Not saying I expect a 1 tech DT like Star to be a great pass rusher, but he has to collapse the pocket if he is not doubled on a pass play. There is a reason Star is not an every down player.

Good 3 tech DTs are harder to find in the NFL. That is why they get paid. Star is a great 1 tech against the run and that is it. Star struggles in the 3 tech, and his ability to rush the passer or pursue down the LoS is lacking.

If the Panthers lose KK as their 3 tech against the run and the pass, that defense is going to look even worse with that secondary. You better hope Butler is an instant success against the pass and learns quickly to stop playing on skates against the run while shouldering 70%+ of the defensive snaps.

Bradberry and Butler as replacements for Norman and KK. smh. That is like banking on Mayo as an instant replacement for Luke.
