Roman Harper was better than Reid. Coleman was better. 

Reid just made us feel better that we didnt have go see Jones and Searcy. 

You don't actually believe that. I won't even entertain Harper. Coleman: he made a living here by having soft hands that let him pick off a lot of passes. He obviously has better hands than Reid. But Coleman wasn't nearly as good against the run and got burned in coverage even more than Reid.

Seriously, you can sit with a straight face and say Roman Harper is better?

Harper was way better than Reid in coverage, way better

 

Harpers problem was that he was slower than molasses, but he was never getting burned as much as Reid is now.

For sure, but one thing is certain. He's definitely a SS. 

 

My dream for this offseason is we nab a DE, ball hawking FS (Panthers have never really had an Ed Reed type player), and NB

Combine that with Bradberry (average player), Reid (above average SS), Action Jackson (going to be a stud) we would have a fantastic secondary

like someone else said, get a real FS and a good Nickle and Im willing to go with another prove it deal. If you think about it we are the only team that considered signing him, as fuged up as it sounds we have wayyy more leverage here than the average Free Agent. I would offer him a 1 year 3.56 million dollar prove it deal.

He's a throw back SS that hasn't really played that great. So no I rather draft a Safety that actually fits the NFL now not in 1960.

Adams is probably gone next year. You want us to draft two safeties? That's a recipe for disaster.

Way above average.

Yes, politics is biting a chunk out of his ars. I like the fact that he won't back down, nothing more American than that. He's a thumper. When he hits you, you've been hit. His style of play reminds me of TD.

I love the fact Tepper would sign the guy and officially say f' the BS.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
