Why do some of you think that Ron Edwards...

[(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻]

will be a good player for the Carolina Panthers?

I am very very confused by everyone thinking that the DT position problem was fixed when we brought him in. Not to mention that it will be better next year with him back, as he will only be 33 years old at seasons start???

Maybe someone can help me out on this one.

A lot of people that roll their eyes at the Ron Edwards signing are the same fans that would have cut/traded Beason, Smitty, Deangelo, JStew, Gross, CJ, Hardy, Gamble, dildos. The fact of the matter is that he is a veteran presence that is an upgrade at the position, unless they would rather stick with Fua.

The team also doesn't need a superstar at DT. They need a big guy that can eat up space and take on the double teams in order to free up the ends and UT (most likely McClain or Neblett imo). The man isn't a Pro Bowler imo, but having ZERO penalties in 2009 caught my eye, especially after this penalty-infested season :lol:.

Though with the way Jason Shirley has been playing, I wouldn't be surprised if Edwards or Fua was cut.

With all the good personnel additions made pre-season and on the fly this year, it's kind of funny that one of the thought out and deliberate moves done for a specific reason would prompt folks to question it.

Why do I think Ron Edwards would be a good player for the Carolina Panthers? Cause Rivera decided it would provide a presence in the middle to help out with the unknown rookies that were going to see the field this year. Just unfortunate dumb luck that he gets injured. He was advertised as a solid, reliable player who stayed off the injury reports. I'm thinking the lockout had something to do with it.

Should we be worried that he's going to suck? I ain't gonna sweat that......

because Jon Beason likes him. His opinion is good enough for me

Not worried that he is going to suck, in fact not worried about him at all. What I was saying is that I hear his name thrown around when talking about defensive injuries. Also when talking about getting him back next season.

I just hope that MH isn't on this same bandwagon.

We shouldn't be going into next season putting all our hopes and prayers on to Edwards like we did this season.
