McClain is 5'9?  Yeesh, welp better hope Nut is back this week.  Or Finnegan will be on the outside.  

Finnegan will be in the slot......that's why he was signed.

McClain and Finnegan worked out at the same time and Finnegan fit the slot

position better and it was what we were looking for at the time.

once we had another issue at the DB position it was a no brainer to bring in McClain.

Per RR on the radio today.

I feel good about McClain. He understands the defense  and he should be able to cover his man in the slot or on the outside with some safety help over the top. Since Wilkes has been here,  when we have played young guys to replace veterans who get hurt or have nothing in the tank it has worked out very well. Wilkes does a hell of a job and Peanut can give him a crash course if he can't play himself.  If they are considering IR they have to have someone in mind to bring here. Otherwise you would give Peanut time to keep healing. They must know he is pretty much done for the year.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
