I've never been in favor of Jadeveon Clowney. Him and Burns are similar players, neither can wreck a game by themselves. I've never been overly impressed with either one because I don't think either one of them have that dog in them, overrated. Clowney has been in the league for 10 years and has never had double digit sacks, at least Burns did it once in 6 years. We need great talent evaluators and coaches for us to get better. I haven't given up on Canales yet.

I mean, Burns is gone and Clowney isn't in the long term plans, particularly as our main pass rusher. He's better than nothing however. 

We have many holes to fill, and I'm sure that the pass rush is out too priority on defense and could turn into our top priority overall depending upon how things shake out.

Clowney is one of the bigger draft disappointments. Not an outright bust but definitely a disappointment and has just managed to have a long NFL career basically on just sheer freak talent. That guy hit a Michigan RB really hard one time and has been living off of that highlight play ever since. It's pretty unreal.

Lot of parallels between Clowney and Bryce, Chief among them being that folks with eyes and a lick of common sense struggled to understand where the hype was coming from. Clowney just rode the wave.

I think they're kinda opposites. With Clowney, people got obsessed with the potential based on physical talent. With Bryce people were willing to completely overlook all of the glaring red flags on the physical talent side because they were convinced he was some type of football wizkid savant.

If you already have a few premier pass rushers Clowney is a decent addition on the cheap. But to expect him to anchor a pass rush was always a fantasy. We were desperate. We knew it no matter how excited we might have been about the signing at the time.

He's mostly been a role player / complementary pass rusher his whole career. 

Now that he's on a team that sucks and doesn't have anyone else to take attention away from him? It shouldn't really suprise anyone that this was the result.

If anything you should be more upset about that D.J. Wonnum signing. He's had a similar sort of role as a complementary pass rusher playing on the opposite side of Danielle Hunter. But he hasn't even seen the field with us in 6 games into a 17 game season. That's inexcusable.

Yeah, well Wonnum is at 6.5 mill a year, so the expectation is less

      Tepper got fooled again

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      No high end HC candidate was ever going to seriously consider us, we were always only going to be looking at re-tread HC's who no other team would give another shot to or the young guys who weren't ready for it yet and saw it as their chance to jump the line Most of the pieces on this team were bad coming into the season and there's been a ton of injuries on top, I don't really blame Canales much.  At worst he's going to set up a better culture in the locker room with his up beat attitude and it will get it in a better place for the next HC after Canales is dumped following next season. That's another reason I'm against drafting a QB this year, we can't fire Canales after 1 year (as NOBODY would want that job).  Give him year 2 with a gap starter or young current backup (my vote is Hooker from the Lions) to see if he can do anything, if not we get a new HC with a Top 10 pick to choose his own QB.

      I know it's not of popular opinion but at this time you cannot continue to dwell in & on  the problem any longer.no absolutely not  you have to get in the solution at the end of this season & you must set aside any emotional connection you have with this front office & current coaching staff .for years now & still this team is the worst team in the NFL showing no improvement not by accident you have to  hire a brand new GM put him in  charge of everything football related & i mean literally  everything & then GTFO out of the way as he brings in his own personal hand picked scouting department & hires his own coach & drafts the Qb of the future & most importantly creates an entirely brand new culture in Charlotte or keep what we are currently doing & accepting a different result...just saying

      Sometimes a franchise is just cursed. They’ve looked inept with every coach/gm/roster tepper has put on the field.  You’d think eventually they’d stumble on a good player or coach but nah.
