Mobile QBs = Panther's D-Line > Standard Pocket QB

After watching today's game, it confirms what most of us thought after seeing our D perform against the Seahawks.  In that game, if it weren't for Russell Wilson's mobility, we would have put up a bunch of sacks. (And we probably would have shut them out)  In week two, the D-line wasn't as good, but again we went up against a somewhat mobile QB in EJ Manuel.  Today, we went up against your more standard stationary QB.  We lit Eli up.  So with that in mind, when we play Matt Ryan and Drew Brees, we should dominate them for big victories.  I'm mad at the way we wasted those first two games, but I believe this defense will win us a bunch of games this season in pretty big fashion.

You might be on to something here. I always thought the advantage Cam and the panthers had over other team was his dynamic play making ability. Then all of sudden the league balloon with those types which kind of offset that edge when we play those types. I think the giant defensive players said the same thing after they played the redskins last year. Luckily our division doesn't have any thus we can feast for a little while.

Honestly?  Our secondary also played better.  As did our linebackers.  Overall the defense had a superior performance I think.

Do you say thing just to get pie?

I like the sound of feasting.  Matty Ice (aka Vanilla Ice) already experienced the pain of facing Hardy and CJ before, and now we have Star and Short to add to the mix.  There's one thing I will say about Rivera, he's built a defense that can dominate this division.  Yet then again, two of them were Fox's players and everyone would have picked up Lotulelei.  So I'll give Ron credit for picking up Kawaan Short, and of course coaching all these guys.

      This is why they'll lose. The draft pick value is substantial vs. minimal cap impact.

      You keep mentioning the impact on the salary cap, but that's literally not the point with all these 2nd Rounders, it's all about precedent and it being a slippery slope that would lead to more fully guaranteed contracts for veterans. That's what the teams are making sure this doesn't get to, because yes, you're right, the guarantees for a 2nd rounder won't have significant cap implications if the player doesn't work out.  But you give that fully guaranteed 3-4 year contract to a FA who then shits the bed in year 1 and never regains the form that got them the contract, then yes, it's going to screw up your cap management and won't be a rounding error. And you can say it's a big leap to go from guaranteeing a 2nd round pick's contract to a big FA signing, but it's really not.  Once teams start giving them out, it's only going to keep growing and be insisted upon by agents in other situations and once the ball starts rolling down the hill, it's going to be impossible to stop it's momentum. Also, the only reason a 2nd rounder's contract would be a rounding error, is explicitly because contracts aren't guaranteed and teams can finagle the cap hits with various tactics.  Once contracts become more and more guaranteed, that won't be as easy to do, if even possible at all, and those individual rounding errors become serious problems in totality.
