Great point, if Dareus can't make a significant impact in his first year, how is Cox, Brockers, or Poe supposed to make an impact?

Yeah, um...why don't you check out the last 30 or so DTs drafted in round 1 and look at the impact they had year 1.

Also, Dareus wasnt bad....it just isn't a position you see many ready. None of these guys are a Dareus either.

Great I'd love to use a 1st round pick on a back up

How is he a backup. Or are you one is those cute little dreamers who thinks Davis can play....Beason will be ready this year....and that Anderson is better.

Luke starts if drafted.

Panthro you seem to be smarter than some.If Beasons explosiveness is diminished by 15% next year is that enough for him to start? If not or he aggregates his injury coupled with the Davis history of acl tears how do we address that.I know your opinion on drafting a lb in the first and respect your point.Who do we add to address this? Just curious...... Personally I like Luke do not feel he would help our pass rush .and respect you opinion on how to address this.

Thing we have to realize with our linebacker situation is Beason's coming off an Achilles tear and Davis is trying to come back from a 3rd acl tear. As much as I like Thomas Davis, we can't depend on him coming back and starting 16 games. I'm a much larger fan of grabbing a DE with #9 but I'm sure Rivera and Hurney know more about the Panthers than I do.

Drafting Luke makes as much sense as drafting Trent Richardson.

Every says we should plan for them to get injured. What the hell happens if they do not get injured? If Beason is full strength do we move him to WLB? Can a rookie dictate moving a Pro Bowl LB?

Me...I do not see the separation between him and the other linebackers that can be had this year. People show me his tackling stats and I say BFD. Good to great LBs can be had later in the draft. Zach Brown, David, Kendricks can all step in and be drafted in the second round.

Did anyone watch Captain last year? Or how our DTs were gouged and the DEs couldnt set the edge. Look at successful teams like the Giants where do they put a priority?

I think Luke would be a signal that the Panthers are very concerned with covering Jimmy Graham.

However, I only want a LB at #9 if he is the next Clay Matthews.

Not only Jimmy Graham but all the tight ends who toasted us last year. Add all of the runningbacks we faced like MJD and Sproles who killed us out of the backfield catching passes. Top it all with the fact we were one of the worst in allowing yards when running backs reached the second level and you know why we don't need to go through another season like last year.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.

      Big news that could dramatically affect our offensive production for the rest of the season.

      By Newtcase · Posted

      The lack of production is especially surprising given how much effort the team put into coaxing the best from him.  In just six short years he’s had the opportunity to work with 3 different GMs, 7 different head coaches and 10 different starting quarterbacks.  There’s literally no excuse to be made that one of those combos didn’t work.  It might be time to look withIAN.
