USA Today says Brandon Boykin Starts at Slot Corner...

So, apparently I missed something. According to the bright minds at USA today, Brandon Boykin is still on the Panthers...

Quote

Replacing Norman (4 INTs, two returned for TDs) will be a story line that hangs over the defense all season. The Panthers used three consecutive draft choices on cornerbacks. Don't be surprised to see James Bradberry, a long-armed second-round pick, or Daryl Worley, a third-round selection with good size, start opposite Bene Benwikere. After breaking his leg in December, Benwikere is now the top outside corner for the Panthers. Robert McClain, a late-season addition, will figure into the mix prominently. Free agent Brandon Boykin will play slot corner. At safety, veteran Kurt Coleman had seven interceptions, tied for best in the NFC. With veteran Roman Harper not re-signed, expect Tre Boston to start.

    • Yep he made the comment " I dont know what they were doing out there at that point" in the press conference. Let's be real they all got paid but they also know his system suppresses there offensive potential.
    • Yup the casuals on Facebook ive gotten 85 laughing or angry emojis so far for pointing it out.  The amount of them throwing a fit because the canes were booed is insane  
    • Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.
