I don't know how to phrase this question about Character players

We all hear that the Panthers only go for players of high character. Looking back at John Fox's Coaching Stint in New York and I haven't researched a lot of it,but it would seem coming from NY, He could handle guys that had those Character flaws and I'm sure there were guys on those NY and Steeler teams that weren't stand up guys.

My point, Maybe our guys are Too nice. And maybe It's not necessarily John Fox who is all about Character. Could the "High Character" menatality be coming directly from the top, Jerry Richardson? Could there be a difference in philosophy between ownership and Coaching staff? I don't know. Just trying to start healthy dialog.

I do believe that our guys can be too nice on the field. You see it quite a bit, Helping opposing players up off the ground, smiling, laughing on the field at some times.

Our history is only 15 years old, but I cannot think of any defensive player that ever was just a nasty son of a bitch other than Kevin Greene and Brenston Buckner. I personally thnk you need player like that who are just a little crazy. Am I wrong?

Check this Kevin Greene you tube video out. We don't have anyone that plays like this(maybe beason and Davis and that's it). I forgot how to embed it so if someone can, please do it for me and explain to me how to do it. Thanks

      Canales Addresses CB position

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I think they are holding back to see what they have in the young guys, but I think it's a near certainty at some point they will bring someone else in. Right now (assuming we keep 5 CBs which is normal), the top 5 IMO are: 1) Jaycee Horn 2) Mike Jackson 3) Chau Smith-Wade 4) Shemar Bartholomew  5) Akayleb Evans   Obviously Jaycee is the alpha in that room and paid as such. Need him to stay healthy and continue to play at a Pro-Bowl level. Mike Jack did pretty well all things considered last year, and they gave him lower-level starter money. Fair deal for both sides.  Smith-Wade showed some promise as a slot CB. I think low-key he's a lock for the team. Different size and skill set than the other CBs. Shemar Bartholomew was the most sought after waiver claim last preseason. Was 5th CB most and inactive most of last year. Had a few defensive and ST snaps. Nothing of note good or bad but too small a sample size to make any judgment. Akayleb Evans was a 2022 4th Rounder for the Vikings. Has started 19 games (including Week 18 for the Panthers) in his career and played in 43. Was pretty good in 2023 before getting injured and falling down the depth chart last year. There's some other guys on the outside looking in, but until they show more in training camp I dont see anyway they make the 53. And only Jaycee, Mike Jack, and Smith-Wade are locks to make this roster IMO.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      Was just reading the Ask the Old Guy story on the team's website and was shocked to see that only two 2nd Rounders have signed so far, 30 of them haven't. That isn't normal, the Texans really screwed things up for the rest of the league, no other explanation that I can think of for 30 of the 32 picks to still be unsigned at this point.

      They need to address CB before season starts. This is not going to cut it.
