Is this the worst secondary in NFL history?

Pay attention to these guys if you re-watch the game. They were running away from tackles today. They were shying away from collisions, and taking the long route towards players with the ball. I've never seen anything like it in professional football. 

 

It's bad enough that you're giving receivers 5-10 yard cushions, but after they catch it, you back up and then loop towards them to try to make the tackle, and they've picked up seven more yards than they should've gotten by the time you get to them.

 

Worst secondary in football if not ever. 

 

The only thing that saves them "statistically," is the few interceptions they've gotten. And Cason even bobbled that one, despite it being thrown directly to them. They looked scared. It was pitiful. 

 

Godfrey is too expensive to cut, but a league minimum guy would probably be a better player than he is right now.

The CBs are alright. Harper and Decoud are absolutely pathetic. They both have a good number of picks, but even more big plays allowed. I'm pretty sure every one of our 50+ yard runs given up this year came when Harper was in "free roam" mode and got to choose his own gap to cover.

Harper is totally useless.  Did anybody notice his effort on that 97 yard kickoff return?  He looked like a kicker running away to avoid contact.  He had a shot to at least get a hand on this guy before he broke out and slow him down a little but he just froze, turned around a couple of times and the guy was gone.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean, no I’m not going to panic when he got 2 Qs and looked great in 1 and looked not great in another (let’s not mention the drop).    Yeah we finally have a team that would be considered average offensively around him. Let’s roll this season.

      The woe is me everything but Bryce sucks mantra is stale af my friend. Look nobody here is going to argue with the fact Frank Reich was not a good head coach. At the same time. Bryce Young is now in his second season with his second coaching staff and a handpicked young offensive head coach who has been known for working with QB's such as Baker and Geno. As far as the offensive pieces around Bryce we have the 4th highest salary cap allocation (that might be even higher now after the new Moton deal) dedicated to the OL in the entire league. We have 2 first round WR's one of them 8th overall the first time we've ever selected a WR that high in franchise history. And the fact of the matter is Bryce Young did not have a good preseason. It's not the first time it's happened either. We all hope to see he and the rest of the team flip a switch in week 1. But we should all be able to agree that the offensive performances we've seen from the entire QB room (Bryce included) in preseason was simply unacceptable.

      We have seen Bryce play… what… 9 games with AT BEST what one would consider NFL average WRs? You just can’t see the forest for the trees and keep going back to your lazy take of revisionist history.    he looked AWFUL Y1 with the worst coaching I’ve ever seen in the NFL and one of the weakest WR rooms I can recall. He looked awful first half of y2 and great second half of y2 with average coaching and average skill position. I don’t know where this elite talent argument even comes from.
