Panthers Secondary not the worst according to PFF

27. Carolina Panthers (32)
Top overall grade: CB James Bradberry, 82.6 (No. 20)

Top coverage grade: CB James Bradberry, 82.6 (No. 21)

Top run defense grade: CB Daryl Worley, 81.0 (No. 12)

Most snaps: S Kurt Coleman, 966

The Panthers had their work cut out for them from the start, with little experience at cornerback on the roster after letting Josh Norman walk. Rookie James Bradberry emerged as Carolina’s top cover corner, and fellow rookie Daryl Worley played much better over the last half of the season, showing some promise. The safeties, too, improved as the season progressed, but depth was certainly an issue overall. Leonard Johnson missed more tackles (11) than the number of games he saw action (10), and Robert McClain was not far behind, with nine. Michael Griffin’s five missed tackles all came in one game.

Injuries really did us in with our secondary this year. Not a single player was healthy all year.

Good to see them acknowledge that Worley improved as the year went on. 

I'm all for re-signing Johnson as depth but I did notice him whiff quite a few times in the slot. Hopefully we can sign someone in the offseason and upgrade the slot position. 

We NEED an upgrade at SS.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
