As someone who did not follow along with training camp much...

Who the hell are some of these guys on the defense?  Like no disrespect to these guys but where did they find them?  Who is Nick Thurman?  Who is LaBryan Ray?  Who is Jamie Sheriff?  Claudin Cherelus?  Trevin Wallace?  Oh my god it doesn't stop. WHERE DID THEY FIND THESE GUYS?

Waiver wire

Well... Thurman and Ray are both holdovers from last year.  Sheriff was claimed off waivers.  Cherelus is a ST lb.  Wallace is a 3rd round rookie we drafted in the spring.

All practice squad players.  The first 4 were all on another teams practice squad last year or the year before.  They should not be on our 53-man roster.  It has to be by far the worst team defense depth chart in the league.

It just keeps getting better!  And in a hurry!  

 

Remember Evero's "could be a 8 or 9 sack year" statement?  Welp.  Go Panthers!

DB is a great run defender and pushes the pocket a little, but he's NEVER been the pass rusher I thought he would have been after being the 6th pick taken in the draft. He had 8 sacks in his first 4 seasons. I don't think our season sack total is going to be drastically affected with him out of the lineup.

Until he realizes he has to return to this team for another year

I would not blame him at all for demanding a trade.  In fact, I encourage it.  We need like 2-3 years of straight sucking and getting the No. 1 Pick all 3 years.  Get rid of everybody and start over with a bunch of 21-22 year olds.  And I mean EVERYBODY.  Every single soul that has anything to do with the Panthers

They're gonna get No. 1 in 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030, 2031 and 2032 at least. There's every reason to believe we're in for a 50-game losing streak at minimum.

Me either, although I do think he has 8 sack potential, because last season, seemingly, he was "there" more, but often pushed the QB to someone else.  

I think my underlying sentiment was more so that we can't have nice things.

Adding insult to injury. But in this case, the Saint did the insult first, and now the Brown is the injury afterwards. Panther's can't even get that in order, smh. Thank God it's only football, at least I'm alive? 

[PleaseCutStewart]

Perfect... Now we will go from maybe getting 20 sacks this year to like maybe 10 while also going from allowing 5 yards a carry to 8 yards a carry...

Seriously, just forfeit the rest of the season so we can guarantee the 1st pick

Well, there was a reason DB has been doubled way more than Burns ever was... And honestly, it's hard to get high sack totals as a DT - you can't just run off the edge and beat a tackle 1-on-1. And for good ones like DB, he will most likely have to beat a combo block of the C and G because teams know, especially now, he is the only pass rushing threat we have.

Whelp, I would find a project QB and start him. Treat this whole year as a tryout.

If you had Pro Bowl value, you'd do whatever you could to distance yourself from this disaster. Business decision. Not even playing through a headache.

Would it be wrong to place Derrick Browns injury on Bryce as well? I mean his inability to sustain drives and putting the defense back on the field constantly had to increase the wear and tear and chance injury.
