"PFF: Panthers worst secondary in NFL"

To be fair, before we made some switches, and injuries.  They WERE the worst O-Line in the league.  

Still out of 32 teams, sports media has to pick one of our position groups to be "The worst of something"., ever year. We have made the playoffs 3x in a role and a SB appearance and we are still treated like we are a bottom dweller. It's ok though, provides our players motivation and we continue to prove the pundits wrong.

This year it's not like that.  They all have us doing well, every analyst.  Just pointing out a fact about our secondary isn't a problem.

It is not certain any of the rookies will start in the secondary. McClain and Bene could man the.outside and Johnson could handle the nickel. We could bring along the rookies and give them time to develop and mature and eventual take over once they have earned it.

I'm pretty sure they have us being SB contenders, they are just pointing out the fact that we have the most inexperienced secondary in the league. The transition from college to the NFL for a corner might be the hardest in all of football.

 

 

Bringing up our receivers from last year is not a good rebuttal. They were pretty bad last season.

Those receivers from last year were part of the #1 offense. Obviously not the greatest but def not last place. That is the point Im trying to hammer home. We shouldnt be ranked last in anything,

    • 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.
