No reason for my bad, wasnt blaming you.... I was blaming PFF. They did repost it cuz the date is updated.

Yep, they posted it right after the Norman deal.  It's vacation week for nfl peeps so a rerun was in order I suppose.

NFL's worst secondary? a092e2450bff2926a1ea7b8c68e96e5b.png watch this.

Nice find for those of us not in the tweeterverse. Glad to see someone in our secondary saw this, and hopefully that will be motivation for them.

 

I feel like we will have some growing pains early on in the season in the secondary, but our pass rush will still be intact so we will make due as the rookies get up to nfl speed

1st of all, Norman didn't even get the most interceptions by a Panther last season.

I really hate when anybody (fan, writer, whomever) makes such a statement when rookies will be a big part of that equation. 

Saying we have the worse secondary in the NFL because Norman is gone, and we're relying on a couple of rookies, is just lazy. 

Fact is, we won't know anything until we're into the season, and the roomies will get better in the second half of the  season. What are they gonna say when our defense is still a top defense?

"But who did you play?" Haha 

I'm with you, we will take our lumps early but our defense as a whole has shown it can mask weaknesses in the secondary. We are simply too talented up front to not succeed. I think Worley is gonna be a stud, when he puts it all together and learns his role in our scheme he's gonna ball.

It's because of their front seven, that's why their rookie's look so good.  Come on, you're not new here.  You know how this rhetoric works.

As of right now ... with the unknowns ... its a fair assessment.  Peanut and JNo are gone.  Bene is coming back from an injury.  Other than Bene, we have rookies and a couple journeymen.  Not very strong on paper.

I understand what you are saying about JNo not having the most interceptions but that doesn't account for everything.  Opposing teams had to account for him in their gameplan.  Also, McD could roll safety coverage away from JNo, which made it even tougher.  JNo's absence, and the lack of a credible replacement (at this point), opens up the field.  It's going to hurt.  We just don't know how bad yet.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
