This is just the latest of many developments that have been deteriorating the once mighty Panthers defensive line that made every other QB shit their pants in the pocket. For those of you that haven't been keeping score, well:
Brentson Buckner got old and retired after 05, he now gets his digs in at Panthers players and the coaching staff on a radio show. Mike Rucker retired last season, after only deteriorating to the point of unusability. His last decent year was 2005. Kris Jenkins took his fat, lazy, hypocritic, and ungrateful ass up near where I live in NJ with the Jets (and I don't give a shit if they're called "NY". They don't play there, and they don't even practice there anymore) and left the caring appreciative organization that stood by him when he was having personal problems and didn't say "sorry, FUCK you, we're releasing you" like 31 other teams would've after his second straight injury. And Peppers, one of my favorite players, lastly, wants a change of scenery and to explore other defensive sets on another team. So basically, that 2003 line that dominated all the way to the superbowl? Gone.
Ok, Damione wasn't 2003 Kris Jenkins to start with, but at least this provided something to build on as far as building the defensive line back up. So it sucks that he's going to miss at least the offseason workouts, mini-camp, and probably part of training camp. Which brings me to my next subject:
REBUILDING THE DEFENSIVE LINE
I guess well, we can start with not acquiring fucking smug locker room prima donnas to plug in. So anybody that has near the personality of a Buckner or Jenkins is out of the question. Seriously these two shit out more drama than a fucking episode of the Rock of Love Bus. AND I guess while we're at it getting overrated overpaid DLs who take plays off and don't know how to be a leader is out of the question also, because we've tried that already. So basically what I'm saying is everybody needs to be like, 2002-2003 Mike Rucker.

But they don't make em quite like the Ruckster, brother. So while we're at it let's settle for a Rocky Bernard...


Lets hope the Panthers can recoup their losses, and get more value out of their acquisitions, because if you haven't noticed, we kind of suck at playing the game of free agency.
