Let's see you create a thread every 4 and a half minutes this must be Carolina Chuck

It never takes long to figure out haha.  Really crazy how someone can come back so much and just never stop.

Also, Panthers didn’t believe that Simmons enjoys contact. 

I had heard several other people say this as well. Said that people assumed he would be a good fit a LB just because of his size but said that film showed him shying away from contact. 

Several scouts said that his MOST NATURAL position was likely safety, but because of his size he would be placed at OLB. 

 

I really liked Simmons but I also feel like he has a big 'JAG' potential simply due to be used wrong.

So he is more of a fish out of water than a jack of all trades

We are probably one of those teams that ask questions like: “Your mother and an evil dictator are drowning, but you can’t save your mom and you might be a homosexual, what do you do?” 

Im just saying how dumb some of those questions can get in these interviews bc one year, a team asked a guy if he was gay. So stupid.

That's what scared me the most with Simmons, you have to move him around, that's his unique ability. Guy has so much talent but he needs a smart defensive coordinator to get the most out of him.

    • Dude... you're just all over the place. You're the one who said T-Mac is better right now than Chark was at his best.
    • When I say "average NFL WR", for me, that's comparing him to all WRs in the league during that season/span of time.  He was of course better than those #4-6 WR's that can't even get on the field, but talent/ability wise, he probably wasn't any better than a #3 WR for most NFL teams, he just happened to be on one of the teams in 2019 with even worse WR's so he put up solid stats for the season. Here's more or less how I'm looking at it. Take T-Mac right now and Chark at his best, put them on every NFL team at this very moment, and where would they fall on the depth chart come Week 1 (basically, the teams that don't put the rookies at #1 to "make them earn it in camp" don't count, it's projecting week 1 depth charts). T-Mac would be at worst the #2 WR on the majority of teams this season, (hell, he's likely our #1 at this very moment right now already), peak Chark would not.  Yes, T-Mac still has to prove himself at this level, but his current ability, even as a rookie who hasn't played a snap yet, would have him above Chark on any team's week 1 depth chart. Because again, you can't just fall back on "well Chark had a 1,000 yard season" and use that as the reason for having him above T-Mac.  As he didn't have that 1k yards because he was a beast, it was because he was the only halfway decent receiving option on a bad team that was always losing and passing the ball (the Jags had the 7th worst scoring differential that season).
    • We clearly need to add a veteran stopgap at safety one way or the other.
