Care to explain hoe DJ and Ward play different positions? Try not being wrong in every thread for a change. I count 3 of the first four topics you have proven yourself again. B0E9AC5F-3F8E-4EEE-A6E0-CD2FBBF99EBA.gif.0e6eebf11f9c2c420bc2f76f8a0224cf.gif

What part of calling me stupid was supposed to be funny. I asked a question with humor that all you had to say was....oops my bad. But you’re not capable so you deflect into this BS again. Just you making false ridiculous statements on a regular basis.

I wouldn't say he have a #1 corner in  the traditional sense, we have matchup options IMO. Bradberry covers most of the number ones as he has the best comparable size -- he's 6'1'' 210, and runs a 4.4 -- he's got the best all around build. 

What Jackson brings is vertical threat cover ability, he can run with the Ted Ginns, DeSean Jacksons, Jon Browns, and John Ross type of receivers that give Bradberry, and GAVE guys like Worley the most trouble. 

What we have is balance in the secondary, similar to the changes we see at receiver, we have guys that can excell at a role, but also bring a little extra to the table, we have size, RAC, and speed in the WR group. Only real similar guys honestly are Samuel and Moore.

Well, the stats are wrong, to start. Ward has 9 pass deflections, not 4. He has also been only allowed a 72 passer rating, which isn't as good as Jackson, but he's been targeted a ton more, probably because he's lining up with teams #1, as a rookie, which is impressive. PFF has him on pace to be the most targetted rookie CB they've ever graded, and he's shutting it down. 

Jackson is having a great year. Wards has just been better, and it's not because of bias. He plays for the Browns for Christs sake lol.

Ward is on one of the worst teams in the NFL and has played weaker competition than Jackson. Jackson also takes on the teams fastest WR. That sometimes is their number 1 or number 3. Also it's hard to say someone is a DROY when his team ranks 30 in defense. I mean all he has to do is be average to not get targeted(not that I'm saying he is). Still people voting will see Jackson as a better CB because stats are close and Jackson will be in the playoffs and Ward will be sitting on the couch.

I mean definitely not arguing Ward has a leg on Donte.

I’m just arguing Donte has every right to be in the RDPOY conversation just like Cam has every right to be in the MVP conversation. They may not be clear cut favorites, but they at least deserve more buzz imo.

Ahhhh. I definitely agree there. Although I think he's getting some love.

      That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen".

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By TD alt · Posted

      Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
