Tillman is a BIG DB.

Got me curious so I looked it up...

Tillman is listed at 6'2 (so is Johnson).

Most corners in the NFL are 5'10 to 5'11.

I like how Dave has increased the size of this team at almost every position.

I guess I figured he would be shorter considering the nickname "Peanut."

​Actually, his nickname came from his aunt who said he looked like a peanut as a baby.  It stuck with him his entire life as he's always been known as Peanut.  Cajun fans (what few we had back in the dark days of Jerry Baldwin) always called him peanut, but believe me, in college, he was just as much of a freaking boss as he is now.

I wonder what he could do at safety, a lot of good corners move to S towards the end of their careers and I know CT isn't afraid to put some hits on dudes. He is usually one of the league leaders in forced fumbles.​

And I hope he teaches the "peanut punch" to not only every member of the secondary, but to the whole damn defense.

      Is AJ Dillon just a camp body?

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      I think Dillon can be what Eric Shelton was supposed to be.

      Yeah, no way he's an option at 19. We could honestly probably get him in the 3rd round.

      I mean, on some level I get it. They want to know 100% for sure before they either extend Bryce or move on. I imagine the logic behind it is that if they add another weapon and Bryce doesn't show he can be a franchise guy then we'll be in great position to draft another QB and slot him into an offense with 3 legit WRs, a good TE and a solid OL. I don't think it's as simple as the front office trying to "justify" an extension for Bryce. If they're not sold on Bryce then they know paying him big money is a recipe for disaster and at that point just trying to please Tepper isn't going to save their jobs in the long run if they're stuck with a QB we can't win with. I think Morgan and Canales are just as uncertain on Bryce as the fanbase is. They see his limitations, but they also see flashes where he has managed to overcome them and look like a potential franchise QB. I think they're trying to avoid Bryce becoming the next Baker Mayfield or Sam Darnold and want to do everything they can to give him what he needs to succeed so that if/when the time comes to move on from him nobody can say "the Panthers were the problem" if he goes elsewhere and succeeds. And if we do end up having to bring in another QB in a year or two if nothing else they will have the pieces around them as well and can hit the ground running. I also think drafting a WR in the 1st this year would be as much about missing on XL as it would trying to justify extending Bryce. Personally I think we need to just count ourselves lucky to have landed a legit #2 WR as an UDFA in Coker (which helps negate the miss on XL in the 1st) and try to find a good slot receiver in free agency or the 2nd-4th rounds while focusing on defense and the OL in the 1st round.
