Bradberry Is Going To Be Costly

Guest contributor over at Roaring Riot with a nice breakdown of a few plays from Bradberry.  The secondary has been a big part of our pass rush this year and he is a big reason both are playing well.  Front office made a mistake not offering a contract this offseason.  Hindsight is always 20/20 and but he had shown more than enough entering the season (even without the ball skills) to see this coming and for the team to get in at a discount for such a big contributor.

I won't post the TMZ Sports article because they did not do a good job of representing his quote, but obviously the big pay day is extra motivation for him as his #1 goal financially off the field is to be able to get his mom into retirement.

Yup. Thanks for sharing and while it would have been nice to sign him already, the key point is hindsight being 20/20. Nobody knew if he was going to perform at this level this season and you have to consider that signing him before the season likely would have involved a significantly higher price tag on him right now, not just down the road, since agents are going to push for any deal to replace the current cheap rookie pay rate, not just tack onto his existing deal.

I really like James Bradberry's game. He's shown improvement every year that he's been a Panther. It's time for him to get paid.

However, unless it's a team friendly deal, I'm ready to move on.

The Panthers do not need to saddle themselves with high-dollar contracts like this. History has not been kind to teams that do. Rarely do you see successful teams, like the Pats, throwing big money at their own free agents. 

Bradberry is a good talent, but he's not generational. He's not going to be $14M better than a CB that can be had in the draft. I'm fine with Cockrell and Jackson as the starting corners until a replacement can be groomed.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
