I think what is being kind of overlooked is that some of the top vet DTs out there are getting snatched up. We knew Star was gone. Many, including myself, thought that Ngata and Kyle Williams could have been good value signings to provide some experience and depth at the DT position.

Buffalo is taking Star and keeping Kyle: http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/22745636/buffalo-bills-keep-dt-kyle-williams-add-dt-star-lotulelei

Ngata is supposedly signing with the Eagles: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/eagles-add-to-nfls-best-defensive-line-with-a-one-year-deal-for-haloti-ngata/

Who else is out there that could be a decent signing to provide some experience and depth? There can only be so many 330 LB vets out there that fit the our needs.

It's an issue that will determine the outcome of the season more than any of these wr's the huddle nimrod's are clamoring over.

The defense is going to need a lot off talent upgrades and they have little to no money to do it with.

The draft will not fix this on one off-season.

I'm a lot more concerned with getting Peppers back as a stopgap at DE and fixing the secondary than I am about DT. We have a former 1st round pick that needs a real opportunity to show what he can do and we have a serviceable stop gap space eater in Kyle Love. I'm honestly not that concerned about DT at the moment in the short-term.

we're filling holes and creating other holes. At this point, we shouldn't have traded for Smith since there's no intention of filling the corner position with something better than what we had, which was terrible to begin with. Depth on DL is the least of our concern, esp DT. We are fine here.

It's time to see what Butler has. No more waiting, no more excuses. If he can't get on the field, find someone who can.

We've overinvested in the middle of the DL while plugging in bandaids at best at DE and now our only hope at DE is a soon to be 39 year old who might just retire.

We already have something in Seymour that's not worse than what we had in Worley. It's pretty much a wash. We got a WR that fills a niche that we needed in exchange for a CB we seemed ready to give up on anyway.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of immature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.

      I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch

      What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
