I just found Pro Football Focus' pass rush production numbers for 2010, and the last 3 years (2008-2010), they are very revealing about Panthers DE Charles Johnson, #2 in 2010, and #8 for the last 3 years, whlie ex-Panther Julius Peppers ranks 18th. That should shut up everyone saying he hasn't earned top DE money, or that he's only had 1 good season, but I'm certain it won't.

Here are the numbers for Johnson, and the other Free Agents, along with curent (Tyler Brayton, Everette Brown, Jon Beason and James Anderson) and ex-Panther Julius Peppers.

Brayton numbers (4th worst in 2010, and 5th worst from 2008-2010) are far worse than I expected.
