Panthers meeting with Landon Collins

Debatable that he is even the top safety anymore. Big time liability in coverage and really just a box safety to me. Rather we wait and address the position in the 3rd with someone like Sample or Tartt if he's available. Collins' stock has been falling as of late and will honestly probably be available at 25 but I don't want him there.

Safety is where I want to go if we do go defense early on, I just desperately want to give Cam another weapon or protection up front in the first and second. Yeah, I'll probably be disappointed if we go heavy on the defensive side again but I do trust Gettleman. I just don't love what I've seen from Collins as a first round safety.

We've been fortunate enough the past two years to get great prospects at need areas who took mystical offseason tumbles thanks to the usual offseason draft nonsense. It'd be great if could happen a third.

Though frankly with Polomalu gone I think that's probably a likely landing spot for him.

Collins just reminds me so much of Barron....and that scares me.

I think Collins is the better athlete but they both share lots of similarities. Rivera has wanted his big time safety for so long but I don't want to force the issue at Cam and the offense's expense. It's time we get serious about building around our franchise quarterback. It's been long enough. Give the kid what he needs to take the next step.

    • Oh I know you’re not defending him, an I’m not even talking about league or legal punishments. But DV and hitting a police officer with his car, are the type of crimes that regardless of NFL or legal punishments, I think it’s the type of thing that would keep teams from ever signing him in the future 
    • That's the first thing I think of when I see Bevell's name.....kinda like Chris Webber and timeouts.  I thought he was a decent OC previously and he was up for the Jets OC. Seeing who they went with instead of Bevell is concerning. He, Dave and Dan go way back to Seattle days so there's alignment there, as we know this franchise embodies.  Looking back at Idzik, I do wonder if maybe 2026 is a year where he maybe transitions out from under Dave's wing. I thought they went farther back than 2019. Not that seven years is nothing in coaching, but maybe Dan and Dave want Bevell or someone with more expreience at Dave's side as we begin to make our move from cellar dwellers to NFC royalty.
    • Wise move: yeah. And unexpected. It was hard to see how to navigate the situation to where If they feel like Canales should be relieved of the play calling burden they have a legit person to give it to. Because to this point, they didn’t.  And they did it without firing Idzik. Who is from a football family background and probably has potential - he just isn’t there yet for the play calling trust.  Both the HC and the OC can lean on this man, who has been an interim HC twice himself and a SB OC. It checks a lot of boxes on the surface.    And another set of qualified eyes, with an unbiased outside perspective, evaluating the QB situation seems like a good thing as well.
