For me it’s because I view him as a luxury pick and worry about using him correctly. I remember drafting TD and it took years before they figured out how to use him. Obviously that was a different coaching staff but just feel like I’d rather see the trenches get addressed and not worry about us not knowing how to use him. 

I don't know why people think we would use him wrong.  Simmons will be great whether he plays outside linebacker or safety.

I think people are taking him being versatile the wrong way.  Yeah ideally you want to move him all over the defense, but even if you settle him down at one position, he will excel.  He's got the instincts, athleticism, everything.  The main thing he lacks is strength, but that is something he can work on in the NFL and no team is going to be playing him at ILB anyway.  

He's not my #1 choice, but he's gonna be a great player.

You may be right and maybe I’m falling for bad info but pretty much everything I’ve seen says if you draft him you better have a specific plan for him and know how to use him. That makes me think it won’t be as simple as just assigning him a position like you would with most guys.

Honestly, I'd prefer we not draft him but I wouldn't put him on my list of guys that I absolutely don't want.

Exactly, if we drafted him I wouldnt be mad.  I do believe there are better options

He'll be great on an established defense that makes his job easier. He would get demolished on this current Panthers defense.

      Seahawks or Rams

      By Pantherxtreme · Posted

      Let's say we take care of business against the Bucs and/or the Falcons take care of the Saints and we lock that 4th seed for the playoffs. Who do we root for this Sunday in the NFC West matchup with Seahawks at San Francisco winner takes the NFC West division. A Seahawks win would mean we face the Rams at home or with a 49ers win we host the Seahawks again.  Which opponent would most prefer? In the earlier Rams game we won primary due to turnovers specifically Mike Jackson pick-6 in combination with a good running game with Chuba and Rico whereas we kept the Rams offense off the field and Bryce was able to connect on two big 4th down throws for touchdowns. However when the Rams offense was on the field they pretty much got whatever they wanted, Williams and Corum gashed us in the run game, and we had no answer for Devonte Adams. Granted whe were missing some pieces on defense with Horn and Moehrig. Against Seattle our defense held it's own for the most part, it was our offense and turnovers which aided in the Panthers loss.  Seattle was the most stingy, best tackling defense the Panthers have played all season, and when we turned Darnold over we didn't do much with it.  The offense had no answers for what the defense was throwing at them and apparently were caught off guard by the amount of man coverage the Seahawks played.  With all that who do you think would be the better matchup the 2nd time around? I trust Stafford far more than I do Darnold, both running games are on par with each other, of the defenses Seattle has the dominant unit.  I personally prefer Seattle again, that would mark their 3rd consecutive road game, we've just played them, so we know exactly what to expect, and I feel Caneles should be able to come up with a better scheme to counteract what the Seahawks defense was doing, and we may be able to trip Darnold up, I don't want to try and win another shootout against the Rams.

      I remember watching him at bama and thinking he throws a lot of wobbly non spiral balls that have very little velocity. Knew it would be a real problem in the NFL and it is.

      His wife makes great meatballs though. To be fair, he didn't hire himself here. He dazzled and bamboozled them with what they wanted to hear. He was going to be an innovative, program-builder, culture-installing football genius. They ate it up like those fabulous meatballs.
