32. Carolina Panthers

 

New head coach Matt Rhule certainly has his work cut out for him. While Carolina still fields young talent in the front seven with Burns and Thompson, its secondary may be the weakest in the league. Burris and Chinn will compete opposite Boston at safety, while Elder and Pride are likely to battle for a starting cornerback spot across Jackson. Not exactly an ideal list of players to match up against NFC South quarterbacks. The Panthers require instant impact from rookies Brown and Gross-Matos to compensate for their pass defense.

If Elder makes this team, we will absolutely be ranked dead last. 

If he is a starter I will agree, but he will make the team.  The rest of the CBs on the roster are PS guys

Who is the leader on the defense?

You’d think that it would be SHORT, but nope. He’s just a fat overpaid guy who is underperforming while fans are still living off his one great season in 2015. The leader will be Shaq, Tre or Whitehead.

Aside from the Redskins, I don’t think Mr. Toast, I mean Elder makes another practice squad in the league if we cut him today.

Until we prove otherwise... I can't argue with this. Based purely on last year, this is the result you get when tallying it up. When figuring in this offseason, you still end up with more question marks than exclamation marks.

We'll be better than advertised, but how much better is an unanswerable question. On paper... well, we're just back to a bunch of question marks.

    • So... what metrics for production do you believe display these issues/limitations best? Are we only using total passing yards, height, and weight thresholds? If so, then what are those thresholds?
    • I mean as far as his size goes it's all over his tape bouncing up and down on his toes in and around the pocket trying to see the field and defenses know this as well as we do but if folks here want to live in never never land and pretend it's not a thing that's their prerogative. Even our head coach has made it a key focal point to get his footwork under control. But it's still something Bryce is going to be tested on early and often no matter how many keystrokes anyone here commits to the narrative it isn't an issue.
    • It speaks volumes that when asked to define a clear performance threshold the responses instead fixate on Bryce's size. It reinforces what’s been clear for a while now... that for some, it has never been nor will it ever be about production. Any struggles will always be chalked up to his frame, and any strong play will be downplayed or disqualified via highly mobile goalposts.
