James Bradberry - Respect

James Bradberry has been lights out this year.  Sure, there are times we pull out of hair when we see the opponent's WRs get a 10-15 yard cushion but that is more scheme and DC play calling  than technique.  They are doing what they are told.

Bradberry against the #1 WR's thus far this year:

34 receptions/394 yards/1 TD

That's an average of 4.25 rec/game - 49.25 yards/game - 0.125 TDs/game

Allen Hurns, Julio Jones, AJ Green, OBJ, Paul Richardson, Nelson Agholor, Willie Snead, Mike Evans (#1 on their teams respective depth charts)

He has another big test Thursday against Antonio Bryant. He has shown he can handle it.

SOLID! Having a Pro Bowl season!

He's absolutely an elite cover guy. If he had ball skills and hands he'd be among the league's very best CBs. As is, I'll take an elite cover guy who has bricks for hands and no clue where the ball is when it's in the air. Thats just icing on the cake and icing that would cost us untold millions when it's time to re-sign him.

Alshon and Crabtree rather than Agholor and Snead. But yeah I agree he's been a complete beast and against 4 top 7 WRs in Julio, AJ, Odell and Evans...

If you add Alshon and Crabtree:

441 yards - 33 rec - 2 TD - The averages are still 4.125 rec/55.125 yds/0.25 TDs

Still Pro Bowl worthy at this point.

Gets a good write up here -

http://www.joebucsfan.com/2018/11/ira-kaufman-10-takeaways-bucs-panthers/

“* His name is James Bradberry and he’s a second-round draft pick out of Samford in 2016. He’s also the rangy, aggressive cornerback who made Mike Evans disappear. Evans was targeted 10 times by Fitzpatrick and latched onto only one football as Bradberry showed Buc fans and Buc coaches how to excel at press coverage. By the time Carolina selected Bradberry with the 62nd overall pick, the Bucs had already chosen Vernon Hargreaves, Noah Spence and Roberto Aguayo. Yikes.”

We may have another Chris Gamble on our hands -- a stud DB who quietly shuts down their best receiver. Doesn't get a lot of INTs, just neutralizes the biggest threat. That's a very, very good thing.

He and Jackson made Tampa's two world-class receivers just completely disappear. 

Add in Eric Reid and you ought to call them the Gastonia Triangle or something.

That was not really Chris Gamble.  Chris Gamble is either 1 or 2 in interceptions in Panthers history.  He had 13 picks in his first 2 years.  And he didn't want to/didn't like to/ didn't try to tackle anybody.  That's almost the opposite of what Bradberry is.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
