damnnnn. Manyyy things can be speculated about this. Godfrey going on IR, Teal getting cut. Munnerlyn, Wesley, Wilson getting cut. Remember the way the CBs have been coming in has always been Gamble, Marshall, Wilson, Wesley, Martin, Munnerlyn. With Martin and Munnerly switchin between the #5 and #6 spot. I doubt they'll cut Wesley because he's a beast on ST. Wilson has been the #3 CB.

There is also the possibility Taylor could be cut as well. Or maybe they cut one of the Offensive tackles Williams or Schwartz.

Personally, I have no idea who they'll cut if Godfrey ISN'T going to be put on IR. I kinda lean towards Munnerlyn because obviously the coaching staff didn't think too highly of him at PR since they went after Jones. And he's been battling Martin with the #5 spot. Martin is a high draft pick, so I guess they'll cut Munnerlynn IF they dont cut one of the tackles.

Punt returning notwithstanding, Munnerlyn has looked to be a better corner than Wilson -- and in his rookie preseason, no less. I really think Captain can be a special talent given time. For that matter, I think he'd also be a good returner. He showed some potential in that area. If any of our corners go, it's Wilson. Martin and Wesley are backup safetys, and Martin can play the nickel.

Martin has an injury as well, and judging how he's played in the preseason, I wouldn't be surprised to see them "redshirt" him on the IR.

Munnerlyn won't get cut. do you have to cut a player b/f moving them to PS? we have a spot (or 2?) left.

Yes. Frankly, I dont get all the hype about Munnerlyn. I didn't see hardly anything out of him during preseason at CB. He was always the 5th or 6th CB to enter the game. And I dont get the criticism of Wilson. He may have had a few bad plays early in preseason, but I saw him get better with each game.

at first it was classified as a hyperextended knee, but then turned into a "bruised knee", which could be anything. Remember Foster's "bone bruise" that ended up resulting in microfracture surgery? I'm not suggesting this is as severe, but Martin could miss some time. Given that he wasn't doing very well in preseason and was for all intensive purposes beaten out by a seventh rounder, I don't think being placed on the IR is out of the realm of possibility.

That's the thing: I saw far more missed plays from Wilson than Munnerlyn. True, Wilson saw more playing time, but this will also be his third year on the roster without securing a starting gig. How many more years are we going to keep him on the roster if he can't convincingly win the nickel position?

Not only that, but Munnerlyn would be a much better special teamer than Wilson.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
