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....

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
