Where has Worley been? I didn't think he was playing last year.

He’s been a starting CB for the Raiders the last two seasons and actually played well. I believe he out ranked our guys at PFF.

Yep, just looked. Worley was 64, Bradberry 61, Cockrell 57 and Donte 55.

Just another example of the Panthers not seeing value in front of them. I never felt like Worley was a great player, but I thought he was a nice piece of the puzzle. He played his role and did it at an acceptable level. Neither great not terrible. Those are the types of players you need on a team because you realistically can't run around with NFL stars at every position. And how much did Worely get paid vs the FAs we brought in to replace him?

He wasn’t but he was thrown to the wolves and wasn’t ready to be a starter. He’s going to bounce around and he’ll never be great but seems like he at least got his head screwed back on right and played well enough to keep his career going. I wouldn’t still want him but it’s not a good thing comparatively that our guys last year weren’t as good.

Oh yeah, I don't think he's a guy I want starting. I'd love to have him as a depth guy in the system who could play on certain nickle and dime packages, or spell the #2 guy for a breather and situations like that.

The reason I think we should and will sign a veteran CB. This is not about 'Rivera-ing' them and just be spectators from the sidelines the entire game, but start off with a set amount of snap counts and slowly increase them.  I think Pride has the potential to see a good bit of action this year as the season goes on. Oliver, however, needs to contribute on STs and get some snaps periodically and increase them as he progresses.

Still a ton of time to sign a veteran CB. It's not like the season is tomorrow! I could even see them waiting until training camp and the Preseason and seeing how the young players they have work out. If they suck they might sign someone cut from another roster or make a trade, who knows.

Come on @45catfan, players are way more exciting when you wonder how good they could be while holding a clip board on the sideline for 15 of the 16 games a season. And of course, have that 1 game where they get in for 3 snaps and look half-way decent.

@Madwolf you guys know he was traded due to character concerns right? Then shortly after cut by the eagles after being arrested for being combative with a police officer.... then a year later arrested for a DUI....

      I agree the free agent class is thin but with all the draft capital Tulsky has I expect some big trades as well

      Anyone else think we’re getting too hyped

      By frankw · Posted

      I mean we haven't had a winning season in going on 8 years we have had the worst win percentage in all of sports the last few years and we spent most of last summer arguing with each other on whether to be hyped or cautiously optimistic. To the point he was trying to moderate the discourse all throughout training camp. The staff then decided to hold the starters out of preseason until the very end and we started off the season with two of the ugliest losses in franchise history. Yet apparently in his mind the problem is....the fans who are justifiably apprehensive to buy the hype again before seeing some consistency in actual games? I don't see anything remotely unreasonable about it and it certainly doesn't make anyone any less of a fan or inferior to someone else unless that someone is mentally ill.
