Could Seymour win the starting job this weekend?

Let's say Worley is inactive due to injury and Seymour plays a hell of a game against the Patriots passing attack.

 

Do you then bench Worley when he is healthy again in favor Seymour?

Dude you just read my mind. I was checking out Seymour's profile and he appears to have a higher ceiling than Worley based on combine results, I know 40 times don't mean everything (Josh Norman) but I believe he will.

hate to break it to you guys, but Bradberry had the worse game against the Saints rather than Worley.

And as far as on our defense, Seymour has a ways to go in zone coverage before he gets a big role.

At least Bradberry wasn't also horrible the previous year.

Also, Seymour is perfectly suited to be a cover 3 zone corner. Basically would be a man to man corner in the scheme.

    I don't think we can underscore the importance of Seymour playing well. Whether he can supplant Worley, or not. If he can play well enough to earn some trust. It makes us that much better. After all, isn't that the main idea? To get better?

 

    That said. If Seymour absolutely balls out in both coverage, and run support, he should defiantly earn more playing time. Whether that is ahead of Worley or not, should not make a yuge difference. 

 

   Best case, he balls out and we have a third viable CB. Worse case, I don't want to go there.

    • I’m keeping an eye on what the Hawks do with Boye Mafe. There’s a few young talented players that needs to be retained and one of their defensive starters might not fit within the budget. My guess is probably Riq Woolen is voted off the island but Mafe could be potentially too. His stats aren’t eye popping, but in McDonald’s defense, his role is to leverage for the DL to clean up. Mafe’s QB pressure rate is top notch and in a different scheme, he could clean up.    Just something to watch this weekend when SEA is in town.
    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
