So what now with the safeties...

What we know...

 

FS and SS are often interchangeable in the Panthers scheme. All players can play either.

 

Adams and Coleman are probably the best starting tandem we have seen in a long while.

 

Colin Jones in the game at safety is not desirable.

 

Sean Marlowe is well thought of but often injured and unproven.

 

The Panthers have a couple other young guys. Not much is known.

 

Brian Blechen is now listed as a safety. Last year he was a linebacker. He filled in as emergency safety last preseason and actually looked pretty good. He played SS in college.

 

So , overall are we in better shape or worse shape than last season?

What I know is that we've been wanting better safeties since 2007. I even wanted Michael Griffin that year and unfortunately, got that wish granted way too late.

Basically, the answer to the safety position has usually been not on our roster. May end up going that route again.

I'd say better than last year, just because we have Mike Adams now. He's an upgrade on the defense, and remember that Tre Boston was a starter before. 

Could we use depth? Sure, but better than last year by a small margin.

      Ppl want to trade Melo? Am I wrong for thinking that would be a bad idea?

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?
