We can’t go into next year with a Worley/Bradberry CB tandem

It's kinda crazy when you realize that other than Tre Boston (who we should've kept IMO), Sherrod Martin is the only drafted safety by us that's actually made the final roster and/or actually seen real playing time with us in the past 10 years or so.  We drafted DJ Campbell but cut him before he ever played a snap and Jordan Pugh played like 3 total games or some poo in his short time here.

We've neglected the safety position like a mother fuger for a reaaaaaallllly long time now.  The one decent one we've had in God knows how long (Mike Mitchell) was stolen away from us by Pittsburgh after they backed the money trucks up to him after only one year of production.

You do realize you're talking about a past Pro-Bowler? 

Coleman had a down year to be sure,  but I  think that it's a function of pressing and trying to do too much because of overcompensating for the drop in corner play.  

Don't get me wrong,  I'm always up for an upgrade,  but chemistry is obviously more important than people think. 

If J-No ends up back here,  then Coleman would go back to being Coleman. 

Yes, Coleman was once a pro bowler, but “Father Time” is undefeated

They were left on an island in man to man coverage all year with Wilks sending the house every play. Both of them were drafted as zone CBs to play under McDermott but Wilks has a different philosophy which didn’t help them. I’m fine with both of them as they should only get better and since we have much bigger needs at this point. 

A nice young athletic safety with some range would greatly benefit both of them. I’m fine with both Adams and Coleman individually, but together they don’t have nearly enough range. One of them has to be replaced.

Drafted to play zone? So basically we drafted two corners not capable of covering anyone?

Drafted to play zone :crying:

It sounds too dumb to be true.  Yes we were running zone a lot, but not entirely. Our offense appeared awesome in 2015 because of short fields...many produced by interceptions.  Then we let go nearly the entire secondary. We drafted corners that year because we had to.   Worely and Bradberry are serviceable, that is about it.  We must invest here.  We underestimated the  secondary loss.  Even Gettleman talked about teams in SB with rookie corners.  Those days are gone in the pass focused NFL.

      Absolutely. Despite the turnovers and the terrible slips we only gave up 17. If the offense could have mustered a single productive drive after the start of the game ...

      I think Tepper (and owners in general) have  more influence on team personnel than most of us realize. Remember how Brenton "Sunshine" Berson was a roster lock when JR owned the team?  Frank Reich didn't want to draft Bryce, Tepper did. I remember him saying in an off-season meeting that the team wouldn't have to break the bank on WR's because of BY's processing ability and his ability to distribute the a ball to like a point guard to the skill position guys. Frank quickly realized it was almost hopeless situation. And, why are we running a 3-4 defense? We ran a 4-3 for almost two decades. One year after Tepper takes over, we went to a 3-4 and continue to do so despite never drafting the appropriate personnel to run it after Rivera was fired. Owners have a lot of say on what happens on that field. Look how Al Davis tried to ruin Marcus Allen's career essentially benching him during his prime years. Canales got this job because Tepper wanted someone who could "fix" Bryce; and Canales was overly eager to get his first coaching job and felt up to the task. No top coaching prospect was going to want to come to Carolina with our track record since Tepper bought the team and having their destiny tied to Bryce as his QB. A top GM candidate from outside the organization would feel the same way. In theory, it was too early to cut bait with him after only one season Dan and Dave knew one another and both wanted to be "the guy" in charge as coach and GM. Carolina provided the ideal opportunity. On the surface this hire, if successful, could validate Tepper's decision to give a fool's ransom for Bryce and he could fill the GM spot with a body but still have someone in power that he was familiar with. In all honesty, it we had a good QB and a capable back-up on the roster I doubt we'd be having this conversation because we'd probably be one of the top teams in the NFC.

      Just reeks of bullshit. Good college QB but when you were watching him as an NFL prospect the physical limitations and playing style concerns were very obvious. Teams across the league almost certainly evaluated him as a backup QB prospect and the last thing you want out of a backup QB is a distraction. Strip away the media hype job, add in all the reports that Shedeur essentially completely blew off the pre-draft process and turned teams off essentially cementing what many already thought and nothing about his draft plummet was surprising. Watch the Browns draft room as the pick was announced. It's very obvious that wasn't their pick. The owner stepped on and said get me that press attention. Why would that have happened if there was a directive from the league not to draft him? It just doesn't pass the bullshit litmus test.
