It could be because teams are typically in nickle and using an extra cb to defend the pass so they opt for safety that needs to be more similar to a linebacker

Exactly. I noticed that as well.

Cause the league is swinging back to being a run first league.

He was acquitted on all charges, but gotta wonder with the release if something else is coming up

I live just NW of Charlotte near Lake Norman.

Well I'm going to have to take that back I suppose. I had forgotten about him spending time on the commissioners exempt list for domestic violence and cocaine. Suffice to say we aren't the ideal destination to try and keep someone with off field concerns on the straight and narrow.

I think every single poster on this board knows this is a make or break year for BY and knows he hasn't been consistent enough to warrant a big contract extension. I also think there are several posters here (CRA, LG in particular) who will never be happy with our QB situation unless we have a top 4 QB like Burrow, Allen, Jackson or Mahomes (and I'm fairly certain they would be bitching at Lamar if he was our QB). Getting a player like that is extremely rare and is something the Panthers haven't done in 30 years... and there's a good chance they will be waiting the rest of their lives as well because the Panthers have been a fairly unlucky franchise and are owned by someone who wants instant gratification. So for those hoping these conversations will go away, they never will. Cam had a lot of the same negative posts here as well except for one season. It's just part of being in the Panthers fandom

It makes too much sense so it’ll never happen. It’s the panthers way

If that’s true, why were the top 4 highest FA safeties this year all above 70 run grade and below 60 coverage grade? While Peppers is getting cut?

Luvu is viewed by a lot of people as a top 10 linebacker, and we said no thanks. Dre Greenlaw is viewed by a lot of people as a top 10 linebacker, has been getting raved about in Denver camp, was a unrestricted FA looking for a starting spot, and we said "we'd rather give a backup DT more money" Two extremely puzzling decisions considering our 32nd ranked LB core and our GM is a freaking ILB, but I guess it's possible that both really didn't want to come/stay here

Yeah, I dont think age is the issue.

Nothing emotional about it it is called pride if my Fortune 500 company cut me, no way in sweet hell would I leave the one that treated me well, gave me a raise and resurrected my career for one that didnt value me and kicked my ass to the curb but that is me everyone is different the same with Cam Newton. No way would I come back to have butts in the seats for Tepper and Rhule.

Renfrow deserved a spot on this team.the film I saw was him running hard cutting hard and catching balls.the guy should be playing for the panthers he would make us better.

If it was said Julius Peppers is available, I would listen.

Look like the perfect compliment to me.

Those are the types of safeties you can get on the cheap. Safeties get paid for coverage unless you're stuck in the 80s and 90s.

I mean most of us would be thrilled to see a reversal of fortune for the pick. But it seems to be a longshot right now. Furthermore the whole point of drafting RB's is to get the most production through their rookie contract. Which we have not done.

Ummmmm Chinn and Luvuu have worked out pretty well so far

I don’t think better version is the right phrase. Even looking at their grades, you can see they’re extremely different players. One is an elite run defender that struggles in coverage and can get to the QB when asked. The other is coverage first, and does not get to the QB when asked. after what I saw on the field last season I still have 0 issues at all with us getting a safety who can enforce run d

I mean he had 12 total touches.... not even enough to get in a rythem and that was spread over 3 games.

I don’t think there’s a chance in hell salah would come here. we hired a head coach no other team interviewed and I think there’s a reason for that.

Or this poo doesn’t matter lol. More poo for you

He got overpayed for cleanup tackles on a crap D. That's like giving Wallace that kind of deal IMO.

You gotta think he is going to have options. For him to come here its going to be with the panther tax with god knows how many years. I would rather just play the young guy, roll the money and focus on 26 in making a real push to see what we have.
