In this new offense gets all the benefits NFL.. Bradberry is a better than avg. Cb..

We shouldn't be so unhappy about him..

I think Brad berry is a very good football player.  Quiet player that doesn’t necessarily have a wow factor but he shows up and does his job.  I am good with that.

Playing corner in today's NFL is more difficult than it has ever been. Bradberry is a solid player, anyone that doesn't think so isn't paying attention.

Funny you mention pay attention because that seens to be one of the big things holding Bradberry back. If he would learn how to track the ball better and turn his head around he could take major steps.

The Bradberry / Jackson combo looking forward has me pretty content with our CB situation.

I wonder if we had played the Giants later in the season, if Jackson would have been assigned OBJ. OBJ caught most of the passes in the clip (of course Bradberry was lined up 12 yards off 90% of the season). Not a knock against Bradberry, I just think Jackson's speed might be a better match for a shifty player like OBJ. But that's a lot to ask a rookie in his 4th game.

PS: I forget just how good OBJ is because he's such a little bitch, but that guy can ball.

There's some truth to the old "that's why he plays defense" saying.

i hate to see cornerbacks not play the ball, but bradberry constantly faces players that are quicker/faster than him. he has to track them first and foremost and utilize fundamentals over physical talent.

now if he had jackson's speed...oh boy.

Bradberry is a very solid cover guy and would be a starter on just about any team in the league. He's good, he's darn good. He's also a fair tackler, and that puts him ahead of some premier coverage guys.

We're lucky to have the guy and he's a solid defensive player. When looking at any tape, you have to remember a trio of things: 1) all corners get beat eventually, the idea of a shutdown corner has been pretty much legislated out of the game; 2) the corner's job isn't to intercept, it is to cover in such a way that it forces the opposing QB to move through their progressions, eating up time while mounting pressure pushes the chances of a mistake; 3) a pass interference penalty is sometimes a win.

I certainly wouldn't be willing to give him a large deal after how he performed last season.

 

He's a #2 CB in a league where you need a 1A and 1B.

The rose colored glasses come on for guys who fans were screaming at just a few weeks ago during the offseason.

Much is made of the opponents he faced last season. Well lol, A) Welcome to the NFL and B) you'd like to see him win some of those matchups. Green was dominating him until the injury. Atlanta simply wasn't targeting him with Sanu and Ridley running so free. Beyond those, it was pretty plainly ugly almost across the board.

 

This team can't burn another season because they've got the "he's a fine young man who did some nice things" goggles on.

 

Maybe its just me but im pretty sick of the panthers not playing in the super bowl to be giving hometown benefit of the doubt to middling players.

    • Yeah lol well the interest isn’t really about seeking stimulation.  I wanted to see how actually bad it was.  And how much of it was women setting him up to be their cash cow.  That is the stuff that leveraged the Panthers into David Tepper’s hands. It is important in that sense.     The worst that I have heard is that he got them in the car and clumsily reached across to help them with their seat belt and made contact. With his arm. That was probably his big slick move. And I can almost guarantee he wasn’t rejected every time. It is easy to picture that action bringing his head close enough to the woman’s head to where he could go in for the kiss if he thought he got the green light.    I really don’t care if JR was a horn dog. We heard all our lives up until the last few years that one of the perks of being really old is that you can flirt with the young women and it is not just tolerated but expected. So he was keeping a tradition alive at some point 😂
    • Well I rubbed some dirt on it and am still here just not optimistic about the future of the QB position. Even what I had accepted as a ceiling raised to an acceptable level turned out to be a bit of a mirage, upon rewatch of the WC game.  Good plays were there yes, but some pretty bad ones too that the good ones late in the game kind of obscured. I have to downgrade that a little.  Especially after rewatching the last 4 plays. I remember the arguments about he did his job the WRs didn’t but that was really just that last muff by Coker I think it was on our final offensive play.   To the future: I know what my level is for paying him and recommitting, but I don’t have any confidence that the team shares my high bar.    But thanks for the pep talk
