He's underachieved at times in his career, but considering we lost Star, and Poe is younger and a little cheaper, I don't understand your flailing around here. It's a solid move.

23 tackles and 2.5 sacks in a season got him a raise of $1M with free-spending Hurndawg.

Hell, when Hurney contacted Poe's agent, I bet he'd thought he died and gone to heaven.

Poe has had 2 good years, 2013 and 2014.  Every other year he has played, 2012 and 2015-17 he's been average.  

Obviously average is worth $9M per year in the Carolina front office.

You have to wonder if Washington thinks he can get everything out of Poe.  

I'm more than a little surprised, especially considering the contract.  Hope we can get something out of him for sure.  He had some decent years in KC (I think), but was pretty underwhelming in ATL.

But he is one of those "planet guys."  Only so many people at his size and athleticism.

Wow didn't realize. Poe was drafted a year earlier that's why I thought he'd be slightly older.

Star is Mormon and because Mormon young people have to perform missions for the church they tend to come out of college at an older age.

LOL at anyone who takes issue with us having Dontari Poe and KK short as our starting defensive tackles with a first-round backup

How much money do we have left..

poe is better than star

And with KK, Luke, and TD pushing him...the culture, etc...he'll be great i think

He heard he didn't have to face Trai if he was on Trai's team.

Oh man wtf...the only down side to this is that this offseason everyone is in unanimous agreement that things are going well. That can't bode well for the universe.

Hurney doin thangs on paper...lets kill the draft and win the ring.

yall do crack me up though.

if a falcons fan came on here and was like "Poe is better than Star" this Poe > Star talk would not be happening but still...

Overall, stats don't tell the full story of a DT, but in terms of stats Poe >>>>> Star.

I'm good with our moves so far but I'd pump the brakes on the "OMG" some folks are doing.

It's good so far, but don't go making hotel reservations for next year's Super Bowl just yet.

Well, I know what jersey to get this year.

in the NFL you need rotation on the d-line (see Philly). at this point we have 2 more years to hope Butler contributes as a top "sixth man" type of player. Maybe it lites a fire up his ass. im not about to write him off. he plays 20% of the snaps and lets up its a damn good 20%
