A prominent myth floating around the league is that Carolina has a great front seven. Today's game proves what I've known all off season...we don't.

Luke is a legitimate all pro player. Addison and Short are could start on just about any team in the NFL. Julius is still a threat on passing downs but is no longer a great EVERY DOWN player. The other guys have their moments, but nothing exceptional. Thomas Davis is out, but based on what I've seen this afternoon I don't think he'd make much of a difference today. 

As for our secondary...well Bradberry is at best a number 2 on most team. Not much to say about the rest of the secondary. We don't have the talent to field an elite defense. The sooner Rivera figures that out the better. This team is going to have to score a lot of points to win games this season because our D isn't going to be able to keep elite offenses under 20 pts this year.

Shaq, Vernon...paper tigers. Great 1st rounders Gettleman...

I may get some flack for saying this, but I think we may have been better off trading out of the 1st round in 2016 when we picked Butler and acquiring  extra picks. You can tell now that he's never going live up to the expectation of a 1st round draft choice. 

This is also a big year for Shaw. He hasn't been able to play a lot due to T. Davis continuing  to play at a high level. But, if he doesn't ball out this year the FO  needs seriously consider whether or not they need to extend him or look for a replacement.

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
