Harper next Please!


WOW!!

Recommended Posts

Why in the fuging world did we sign him for over $2m/year for 5 years? (I thought it was 2 years but just checked and it's supposedly 5 unless that's a mistake) Should've been vet min. for 1 year.

 

Harper's contract was two years, 4.5 million total, not per year.

highly doubt if DG ever considered Harper more than a temporary band-aid.  He's not a mistake, he was the only thing available in our price range.

 

Harper is the kind of smart, veteran safety that could feast off quarterback mistakes behind a high pressure defensive line.  That's why both he and Thomas DeCoud were signed.

 

Unfortunately, we stopped having a high pressure defensive line, and now their lack of athleticism is an issue.

He had a good Dline who got a lot of pressure last year.

And still was the worst safety in the league.

I really don't think we're as bad on the D line as people are thinking. Against good quick release QBs our backfield can't cover that extra second or 2. You can't expect lineman to break through every couple plays and get pressure as fast as a QBs 3 step drop. The pressure isn't there anymore because receivers are open faster this year. I've broken down all the games. That's what I'm seeing. Munnerlyn had good speed and awareness. He lacked height. Mike Mitchell had great closing speed and had great angles to make hard tackles. IMO losing even just those 2 has cost us more than losing Greg Hardy.

    • As long as Morgan is the GM, Young will be the QB. Young is 100% Morgan's guy. The contract extension is pretty much guaranteed unless Young suffers a career ending injury this season.
    • People really need to stop placing Dan Morgan on some kind of infallible pedestal. He is absolutely in lockstop with Tepper regarding Bryce and has been all along. As far as the team being okay with 185 passing yards per game. We better have a proven monster RB in our backfield then. Presently that guy is not on the roster. Chuba has one outlier season so far and the other guys have proven nothing. Not what you would call a great recipe. The only thing we can hope at this juncture is that the highest paid OL in the league for the second year in a row elevates their play from last season and opens up some massive holes even our RB's can get through. But it still doesn't resolve the issue of predictability. With no viable passing game it is much easier to shut down any run game. No defenses are scared of Bryce's arm. It is what it is.
    • i lived in Atlanta from 84'to 92' & back then it was indeed a very different time without the internet & access to information 24/7. shortly after i moved back home to western NC around 93' or 94' the Carolina Panthers were awarded an NfL franchise & began their inaugural season in 95' so ike you i have seen the Carolina Panthers, ,the NFL ,technology, fans all evolve over the many a moon & years now some for the better & others not so ...just saying
