Sherrod Martin could start

Its going to be a long day for him.

This year, the Panthers' second second-rounder has yet to record a tackle on defense (though he does have three special teams stops), but could be the last line of defense against Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin and company Sunday. That's a tough spot for a guy who lost out on playing time to seventh-rounder Captain Munnerlyn after a quiet training camp

I know we all complained about Gamble not being on Fitz last go round....for some strange reason I wouldn't mind Captain getting some time w/ him. He is by far the most aggressive of the bunch.

Hopefully Martin shows us something to justify his pick....maybe he will show more in his natural spot.

i'm looking forward to it. that is where he should be playing anyway.

i'd like to see what he could do at safety. it's better than having teal there, imo.

at this rate any change i'm going to be happy with. just shows that they are losing some of their inhibition as far as using the younger unproven players.

just a baby step towards moore getting the start *waiting for catdaddy to start going on a tirade about how moore isn't the savior or something*

We don't play man to man, it won't matter who is on him at the line, they will just let him run free in the middle of the field to be picked up by a backer or safety.

Just like last year.

not sure you noticed this but they are doing a good bit of man coverage this year. they are mixing it up a good bit.

New defensive coordinator = small possibility of playing differently.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
