Starting to see people wanting Worley’s head. So, I thought I’d revisit the past and see what people said about Josh Norman.

I see parallels.

 

“Today when he came in, his presence was immediately felt, in a bad way. He gave up pass after pass. Including getting absolutely ate up on a dig route that left him about 20 yards behind his man. 

 

Guess who blew the coverage on that last TD that gave the Bills the win? Well fuging Norman of course. For some inexplicable reason he decided to try and jump the route on the slot receiver who was already covered by Thomas Davis and left his man WIDE fuging OPEN in the corner of the endzone.........”

So, how about we let a young corner grow and learn and see what he can do, eh?

I know this “worley sucks” train seems fun. Really does. However, it can’t be understated that he has potential. Lots of it.

Flashed it his rookie season. Won’t be surprised to see him pan out in the future. 

Sure, maybe it’s too early right now for him. But don’t throw him away yet.

I think he's a good tackler-solid against the run. He struggles in pass protection, but so have our entire secondary this year. He hasn't had much luck but he looks like a player waiting to give up yardage instead of a player about to make a big play on the ball. And that's bad in our division.

  Bradberry has been far from perfect this year- he had a non-call on pass interference on a deep throw against the Eagles. He's missed some tackles he should have made against the run. But hes also had moments of strong coverage so people let his mistakes go.

  But I think that Seymour's play against the Eagles show that bringing in a different guy doesn't necessarily improve things either. I mean six games in our DB's collectively have zero interceptions.

  Going back to the stat about -7 takeaways and combining that with 0 interceptions from our DB's you can reasonably conclude that nobody is making great reads and plays on the ball.

  I mean laying the blame at the feet of the 2nd year 3rd rounder seems harsh. He was drafted to be a starter but he's had a baptism of fire in a division with strong QBs and WRs and little safety help. Expecting everything to be all sweetness and light by bringing in a 6th rounder from another team strikes me as naive. I'm ok with Seymour coming in-we all know we needed depth.But there is an argument here for sticking with Worley for better or worse.

      Canes vs Panthers Rd 3 Game 2 Thursday 8pm

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Getting this out early so we can flush that abomination down the toilet from last night.  Start fresh if you will.  Win tomorrow and we will have not just our first ECF game win in 19 years, but will be back into it.  Put in Janko and play the Boom if Chatty can’t go.  LFG Canes!

      Sounds like he wasn't picked up and is now on the Panthers' IR. THE DREAM STILL LIVES

      The Evolution of the Panthers OL (2023 - 2025)

      There are a lot of question marks surrounding TMo right now. There were whispers leading into the draft that the team was ready to move on due to a knee issue, but they came away with no real backup plan outside of BC. Maybe the knee isn't as serious as feared… or maybe it was just front office gamesmanship, like we saw with the Jalon Walker rumors. With Icky's second contract on the horizon, the team's probably hoping Moton is open to a team-friendly extension. His consistency over the years has been incredibly underappreciated. Hunt's grades dipped last season--particularly in pass pro, where he ranked 54th among guards with 500+ pass-blocking snaps. That's not ideal, but when you step back, it's still starting-caliber play. In the run game, he was more effective--posting the 14th-highest run-blocking grade among guards with 300+ run-blocking snaps. DLew, meanwhile, was a warrior. He played through a shoulder injury all season and still ranked 17th in pass-blocking + 10th in run-blocking under those same filters. Context matters here too... in terms of 2024 cap hits, Hunt was the 17th-highest paid guard at $6.45M while DLew was 25th at $4.9M. DLew absolutely outplayed the first year of his deal. Looking ahead, Hunt will carry the #3 highest cap hit among guards in 2025 at $21.65M, while DLew will be #10 at $14.57M. If DLew maintains that level of play and Hunt bounces back in pass pro? Oooh wee mayne. That said, decisions are coming. DLew can be cut in 2026 for $9M in savings, or in 2027 for $13M. Hunt is more locked in: his contract opens up flexibility starting in 2027 ($14.3M savings) and jumps to $18M in 2028. And then there's the biggest unresolved piece: center. Cade Mays looked solid when called upon, and Christensen didn't look out of place either. Corbett's durability is a fair concern... he hasn't been able to stay on the field the past two years. If Mays locks down the center job, I think the front office moves quickly to secure RT next. Once the bookends are in place, the interior OL becomes the next long-term focus. Hopefully, they're already developing some of those answers internally.
