Everett Brown was getting manhandled by a pass catching TE ( Jermaine Gresham) I rewatched the d in the first half play by play and it is unfuging believeable.

Seriously I have never been a Brown hater but after seeing him consistently get turned and pushed back by a pass catching TE...:eek: Rivera will see this and he will never touch the field outside of 3rd down again. Scratch that he should be cut. I finally have to agree with everybody.

I agree. I hated the pick (esp. giving up a first for him). He doesn't have the body or power to play the position & it has always showed. He can't even rush the passer, but in run support he looks aweful.

I was high on Rivera, but with some of the things he is doing, I am getting nervous that he will look like a rookie head coach rather than a vet defensive guru.

To 'Vampire the buffet slayer': WTF?! Why all of the hate? This is actually a good topic regarding the state of our beloved Panthers/roster.

Because he is a tool. They troll around and say this thread is gay and blah blah blah...

But back to the subject in hand....Brown looks pretty bad but the LB's seem out of position alot also, which is why when Brown was blocked there was always a huge gaping hole, but I will attribute that to just learning the system. The LB's can correct their problem ,but Brown is not going to gain HE MAN strength any time soon.

You are right. We do have very good LBs, but they have been out of position & taking bad angles. I think that comes down to the fac that the DL is not creating the usual gaps for the LBs to expose & then they are chasing the RBs instead of hitting them at the point of attack. The gapeing holes are probably our D-linemen acting like floor rugs to TEs & average O-linemen.

The real problem is the GM...trading away picks for guys like E. Brown. Armanti Edwards...this guy would have been on the board in the later rounds...that 2nd round pick is coming back to haunt us...hell Bowers fell to the Bucs in the 2nd round...couldve drafted a Newton and Bowers in the same draft?!?!?!?!? What?!?! Thanks mr. GM

    • Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist
    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
