I know and think highly of Tre as a person and a player. I think he's great for the city, the locker room and on the field. His stats prove he's worth a decent contract, $5/6 mil+ a year for a 3-4 year deal, maybe more but with them rebuilding probably not. If they don't resign Bradberry having stability in Reid and Tre will be nice and needed. I hope they sign him long term as he will not sign a 1 year deal again, this I do know.

He was EASILY the best player in the secondary last year, and off the top of my head I can't think of anyone on the defense that played as well as him period.  Resign this guy now.

That's damning with faint praise. Best on a really bad defense is not really good at all.

Tre is decent in pass coverage, but he's like a bullfighter when it comes to tackling. All he needs is a red cape.

I would rather address the safety position in the draft. This is where we will see who is calling the shots. The Panthers have rarely addressed the safety position in the draft (I can't remember when). If they go safety day 2, then I would say Rhule is calling the shots.

Tre has improved each year since he first left Carolina. I think that leaving put a bad mark on him and has left him on "prove it" deals ever since.

Looking at his performance here last year, I've got to say he was one of the better players on our defense and certainly one of the most unsung ones. Yes, it didn't take much to be one of the better players on that unit, but there were countless times he was still working to make tackles when others had just given up and were half-heartedly jogging. He didn't avoid contact, was aggressive in run stopping and was decent in coverage.

He was a good compliment beside Reid and I think the two guys make a good tandem, and both seemed to carry black marks into those contract issues, marks they didn't really deserve.

Pay the man, somewhere around $5 mill/year for three years and you'll have a stalwart player, a veteran player with plenty of tread left on the tires and a community member who can lead by example and take some of the worry out of the secondary. Let him go and we're searching again, and that's just not something we need to be worrying about if we don't have to.

He's good, pretty darned good, but not great. It's those kinds of players in the right spots that can make a big difference in a team.

I'd give him another 1-year deal, worth $8 mil like Eric Reid's. But only for 1 year. We have no idea how well he'll fit into Snow's scheme.

I'd rather sign him to a longer term lower paying($5-6 mil) deal than pay him $8 mil for one year. If we keep Cam, cap space is going to be at a premium, despite what the numbers look like currently.

      A lookback at Morgan's first draft

      By toldozer · Posted

      Tepper makes the wrong decision in literally every case. It's laughable at this point. It is as hard as getting every single decision right. Give me one example of one thing he's got correct in 8 fuging years. It's no surprise that promoting the assistant GM that worked for the worst GM that I've ever seen was a mistake. This goes all the way back to insisting that Ron run a 3-4 and the defense goes to complete poo and we suck. That decision in my opinion cost us 3 or 4 more seasons of the greatest middle linebacker to ever do it.

      Highest rate of incompletions due to WR error

      Currently Cam and Bryce have the exact same career completion percentage at 59.9. The differences in their play/career arcs are immense, however.

      Dan Orlovsky on Bryce Young

      By bandu · Posted

      LOL we have been talking about fixing Bryce Youngs footwork for almost 3 years now.if his footwork has shown little to no improvement in that amount of time then you might have to come to the realization while at the same time using a little common sense it's not natural to Bryce Young with his small stature/ size to step up in the pocket plant his feet & drive the ball from the back leg to the front leg while remaining stable.no instead you see BY becoming easily overly excited & then as a result starts alot of unessary scrambling & hopping around & maybe it's not necassirly he is scared all the time & it has more to do with his height & he is trying to find the right angles for visual purposes whatever it is he  puts himself in a position where he cannot stay balanced when he throws the ball & anytime you throw the ball unbalanced it not only effects your power but it also effects your accuracy/ timing point being the real problem with Bryce Youngs bad footwork is his small size ...just saying
