We had reported he would get a shot at nickel. Rivera won't say if he's a starter at CB. "All about competition"

Steve Reed ‏@SteveReedAP 13s

Rivera said he wanted to give Godfrey a fair shot.

Joe Person ‏@josephperson 41s

Rivera says Godfrey is not yet 100 percent. And moving to him was about competition.

I think we'll be fine with Benjamin, Cotchery, Avant in the slot, and Underwood as the vertical threat. If King/McNutt or any UDFA's contribute it'll be a plus but I don't think we're as bad as many think at WR.

 

Granted, much depends on how Benjamin plays as a rookie.

We have like 6WR on the roster but our leading WR last year in Olsen making it 7. Any rookie drafted in the later rounds is as good as McNutt and King (who are probably ahead cos they have had time to get into the playbook). It seems some people just want to see their favorite college WR on the panthers.

I am in the minority, but I think with the addition of Benjamin, Cotchery, and Avant along with the development of King and McNutt, that we are better at WR than last year.

Hard not to be better than 29th in the league. I think we see more production as well

    • I have no strong opinion either way. I mean, for those who are out, do you really expect Tepper to hire anyone better? So far, Canales has probably been his best coaching hire. Granted, that's an extremely low bar to clear but I'm just saying it's not like there's a line of great candidates beating down the door begging to work for Tepper. Going 5-5 with the worst QB play in the league isn't terrible. Now with that said, I expect to start getting the hell beaten out of us now that the Saints have shown what I thought was obvious all along - sell out against the run and stack the box and absolutely force us to have to throw the ball and it basically makes the game unwinnable for a Bryce Young QB'd team.
    • You're letting your hatred for him cloud your judgement, you can't say with 100% certainty that Bryce can't play anywhere else, especially since everyone here said the same about Darnold and Mayfield and are now backtracking to say "well they had the skills all along"... absolutely nobody was saying that at the time. You are forgetting that the Panthers are currently a poverty franchise that taints everything they touch, it is absolutely in the realm of possibility that Bryce sits for a few years and then looks like Mac Jones does right now. But I agree that it won't happen here, and the Panthers have to move on.
    • That was me. Overall it has tightened up. Kickoffs are good. FGs are good normally. Punting game is good. PR isn’t bad. I didn’t see what happened on the block, who let the guy through. I knew we were putting a couple of new guys out there but thought they we gunner types. Chisena.
