Munnerlyn's quick success with the Panthers mirrors the impact he made as a freshman at South Carolina in 2006, when he excelled defending then-Gamecocks' star receiver Sidney Rice in practice.

"After my first practice, he gave me his number and started texting me," Munnerlyn said of Rice, who's now a starter for the Minnesota Vikings. "He was like, `I see something in you. You can be good. Stay humble and stay hungry.'"

Munnerlyn said he kept those text messages until his phone broke.

Once he came to Carolina, Smith gave him similar encouragement, which Munnerlyn embraced with almost childlike excitement.

"I was like, `This is Steve Smith! It's the NFL! This is like a dream come true!'" said Munnerlyn.

I remember that there were a whole bunch of people who said he was just "camp fodder."

Look at him now bitches.

I held out my opinon because I honestly didn't know anything about him. But I do now. I think he has preformed the best out of any of our CBs (Gamble included) during preseason and our 1st 2 games.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By CRA · Posted

      I mean, poster also said Young or Mahomes, it would have made no difference.  If there was way to actually test that hypothetical, I would sell every belonging I have and wager that Mahomes would indeed yield different results.  Mahomes automatically changes the D coverages.  He automatically changes the threats.  He attacks and threatens a field different vastly different.   We have seen good QBs and great QBs play behind horrific OLs in a single season....and they don't default into being the worst team in the NFL.  Frank Reich was old, stubborn and not creative enough to deal with an anomaly QB like Bryce.  The best QB in the NFL wouldn't be handicapping Frank, they would be enhancing Frank.  Starting week 1, Frank didn't even trust Bryce with basics....Frank gave him I what I feel comfortable with you being able to do offense.  Which took throws and plays off the table because Bryce couldn't do early on what a bad vet in Dalton could.  Mahomes would not yield the same results.

      All I have to say to this really, is it sounds nice and downgrades Stroud to make Young look better is more like what this take does. Look at the WR numbers the year before and then the year with Stroud. He made them better, not the other way around. That’s my opinion. I appreciate you designating that it was yours. Many state these things as facts.

      but what if.....and here me out....the pro Bryce Young stuff was coming from people under Fitterer.  You know, the people who are employed to feed him that input.  And they happen to all still be employed here.  when Rhule was fired I desperately wanted Fitterer fired.  It set things up for Fitterer to be the sacrificial lamb the next time things went poorly....every time we move on from a disaster, we are retaining a heavy % of the folks who helped bring the disaster we are "moving on from".  Everyone argued Fitterer probably could be great and it was all Rhule.  We are just repeating the same stuff to a degree IMO.   Panthers needed a clean slate post Rhule era.  Needed another post Frank era.  Things were just too bad or too dysfunctional IMO to be salvaging so much.   We keep failing to do that.
