According to PFF, James Bradberry is ranked 22nd out of of the top 25 CBs this season.

And he's only a rookie.

The only rookie on that list to be precise.

Quote

22. James Bradberry, Carolina Panthers, 80.4

The play of rookie James Bradberry has been impressive. A second-round rookie out of Samford, Bradberry has made the leap from the FCS to being the No. 1 corner for his new NFL team in his rookie season, and has started to look very good. Bradberry has shown the ability to make plays in both man and zone coverage, breaking up passes he has no right to challenge for, and hasn’t surrendered a catch longer than 28-yards all season. The Panthers’ defense has looked notably better the rookie is in the lineup.

This should put into perspective how good Gettleman is at finding talent, and how much of a steal he really is.

Stats are for losers. CPK says he sucks. And CPK wouldn't steer me wrong.

 

People won't care where he is graded. They can see with their own two eyes he isn't that good.

Nah. You see when he does good, those plays don't count.

James "first down" Bradberry is a bust, and other CBs are obviously better.

Love this kid. If we can get a solid cb in FA we will be ok.

 

We need to get us a skrong LT. We also need to upgrade Boston. And you might as well throw in a good/great DE as well. But considering how this year has played out. That really ain't that bad.

 

I will give Worley until the end of the year, as he seems to be progressing. But a Vet CB to help settle that group down could be an asset.

 

We could go to war with Bradberry, Johnson, and Worley.

Comparison from Josh Norman in his Rookie year.

 

 

I mean it's only fair to compare rookie years. As you can see in 7 games he's already a close to Josh was in 16 games, also good to note that Bradberry had the starting job since the beginning and he missed some play time due to his foot. These stats could be better. There's still a lot more games to be played and I can assure you he will have better numbers than Norman did in his Rookie year. It only bodes well for the secondary.

I'm not giving up on him, but depth never hurts.

 

Too early to call him just depth. He has improved from the beginning of the year. He is just a dang rookie for Pete's sake. Give the kid at least until the end of the year before we label him. Folks used to remember that it takes most kids a few years to "Get it". But somehow, that rule does not apply to Worley?

 

I mean, sure, I would love a solid Vet opposite of "First Down". But, with how we like to rotate, Worley is proving he would belong in that rotation.

I don't mean for him to be depth.

Don't take this the wrong way. But now I'm just confused.

 

Okay. I think I got it now. Worley is good enough to keep. Even if we bring in a Vet, Worley has earned the chance to stay in the rotation.

 

Depth is good. Is that right? If it is. I concur.

Haha I'm saying have a solid vet from FA to back him up.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By ladypanther · Posted

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.

      He wasn't a JAG, he's been a starter every year of his career. Didn't turn into the superstar it seemed like he might his rookie year, but I think part of that has been being misused. Guy was/is a baller.
