"PFF: Panthers worst secondary in NFL"

[mc52beast]

If you're being realistic then you have to admit our secondary is a big question mark... The only reliable starters are Bene and Kurt, will probably have at least one rookie starting.

...who gives a fug....we do what we do...

Thinking the Panthers secondary is going to win against the QBs and WRs the Panthers will face is like believing the Titans have a legit shot at winning the AFC Championship. Highly unlikely, but now is the time to believe it can happen for all of their fans.

Hope the secondary players use this as motivation to prove people wrong but you can not blame analysts for feeling this way either.

Please keep providing our team with this bulletinboard material. It's like you're trying to make this easier for us.

Good thing IRL we don't look at this in a vacuum like these rankings do. Our front 7 makes our secondary immediately better.

I think boston/coleman will be great this year.  The chemistry is there both have all the ability to make plays and hit.

Bene is as solid as the come and also brings the wood.

So that leaves us with nickle and another outside question mark.  We drafted three corners.....atleast one of them has to be half decent.....guess we will know in the next few weeks.

Well would you look at that!  He's not even pretending to be a fan anymore.

Im for starting the rookies, 2014 was a rough season,....but all those rookies getting that experience has paid of major dividends now! It is one of the main reasons we are so stacked and deep right now.

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,

You can make a case for our receivers  being the worst last season.

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. 

Just cause a player is a rookie, and an unknown, doesn't make it a fair assessment.  That's bullshit fed to you by the writers themselves. If it was a fair assessment, then every rookie is gonna suck, regardless of the teams that picked them, and what round they were picked in.

I'm sorry, but the writers, need to stop being lazy. Our secondary isn't going to suck. I know you, and many others are fearful, but I've been watching pro football to long to buy into that crap.

Yes, we have unproven rookies that will be playing an important role on our defense. Every year we have rookies playing important roles. That's football. And I'd much rather be a team that has to rely upon it's proven front seven, than the other way around. These rookies will grow fast. I'm not worried.

The point I made about the writers being lazy is still true. I know how and why they write like that, but it doesn't make what they are saying credible, at all.

Can't blame them for thinking this.  Bene as a #1 with Mcclain and a gaggle of rookies certainly shouldn't be ranked high.  We'll see.

Shouldn't be ranked at all. but it's easier just to rank them low, cause the crap has to be written. 

and people buy into it.

 

[DaveThePanther2008]

Of course we have the worst secondary.  Didn't you know Josh Norman covered everybody last season.  So with him gone and rookies on the roster.  We have no one to cover anyone........

Come Guys wake up............

Well this is DG's 4th offseason. He's almost built a complete team. OL used to be crap, now it's a strength. Hopefully CB can make the same transformation and DG's job of building a complete team will be accomplished. He might've already done it if Norman didn't decide to leave. I just hope we don't stand pat with what we currently have going into week 1.
