Kentwan Balmer claimed off waivers

[Peppers90 NC]

considering what we have at DT, this is a good pickup... but I'm not all that excited about it... still just another body to throw at the position and hope he sticks.

na nothing to be excited about, just hope for the best.

As a UNC fan even I'm underwhelmed by this signing. However hearing they plan on playing him at DT sparks my interest. If he is ever going to succeed now is the time. Right position,right coach, back home. I'll keep an eye out.

Im honestly willing to give anyone with a good amount of potential a chance without complaining about it at DT. My dislike for Everette brown far exceeds anyone else on the line, so why not? i'll givem a chance..cant get worst.

My only complaint with the waiver selection is having to hear carowhina fans rationalize why this guy hasn't panned out.

He was stuck as a 3-4 DE because he has 3-4 DE size. He is tall with some bulk. The facts tell the story. He has played for 2 different teams in 3 years, started a good number of games last year without recording a sack, and has now been cut early into the cut cycle by a team without a plethora of DEs. At this point he is a reclamation project with some upside but is unlikely to help out in any meaningful way.

You are probably right, but I doubt it would be much different with anyone else we might get.

But I do agree that being a Tarheel, he is probably evil. ;)

Yeah at this point any pickup is just throwing darts at the wall and hoping something pans out.

Well I hear he does know swahali.

or forbid we call out someone spatting off ignorant statements

Name one. EDwards is/was/will never be anything special. Many fans on this sight wanted to do more to upgrade the DL. Its a huge problem and some middle of the road DT (Edwards) and a scrub (Balmer) isn't going to change things.

So the Panthers are stuck with what they got, nothing.

you called him a journeyman, either 2 teams in 9 years is that to you or you just dont know what youre talking about. No he wasnt a pro bowler, but he was definitely a solid pick up. this is his first trip to the ir so he wasnt injury prone. he anchored down a pretty solid defense for the chiefs last year, you cant get a pro bowler at every position

[rayzor]

it's worth a shot. what harm can it do? it's not like he's being handed the starting gig and it's not like we have tons of talent ahead of him either.

dude was miscast in a 3-4 (much like brayton was). we've done well with WW scrubs in the past. why not? it's not like any of you clowns already calling him a turd actually know what you are talking about anyway.

panthers picked him up and there were several teams that were trying to get him as well. probably all of them 4-3 teams thinking that he could do well in his natural position. i guarantee all of them know more than any of you complaining about this move.

if they think it's worth giving him a shot, then i'm on board. if he works out...awesome. if not...who cares? it's not like it cost the team much.

btw...not a tarheel fan.
