Panthers are not done at the cornerback position

We all know that cornerback is by far the weakest position on the field, but the Panthers are still not done with it accorinding to Marty Hurney

From Panthers.com

Quote

With the relative youth and inexperience at corner, Hurney admitted the Panthers would likely continue to look at options at the position. He did compliment rookie Troy Pride Jr. for getting better every week and Corn Elder for his ability to play in the slot.

"Our defensive back coaches have done a great job with the guys we have, improving them," Hurney said.

If Hurney is admitting that they are looking, that likely means they are aggressively looking and a trade is a possibility. If they were "just looking" he would have said he feels good with the group.

Everyone keeps talking about the #2 corner, but I don't exactly feel confident in Donte Jackson as anything more than a slot guy.

Donte has been legit bad at times the past year and a half. Even his rookie year wasn’t really good. The early INTs got him lauded but the 2nd half of the year was awful getting burned every week for long gains. That carries over into last year. IIRC, he was even benched/not started a few games.

We need another stopgap. Good enough will do. I just hope it's not for anything outside of a player or a 6th/7th.

I still would rather just play rookies and see who sticks. Is this Hurney's 'one player away from winning' incompetent roster building or just the coaches wanting someone else?

What a roller coaster.

We rather just play rookie and see if anyone can get better.

But Donte wasn't great as a rookie because well.  He was a rookie. 

We need a prime CB1.

But we can't use any draft capital.

 

We don’t need a CB1 this year. We need to see if Donte can handle top WRs and get better. We need to see if the rookie can become a good starter. This is a rebuilding year whether some people want to hope for the playoffs. It should be about letting YGM learn and Burns become a stud and see if Roy and Brown could be a Short/Star tandem. I’ll even say that I’d almost rather let Little sink or swim. I think he’ll sink but what the heck, maybe he can improve or you know that he’s not worth more than a backup.

Oh I agree.

I just think that sometimes certain expectations on who we should pick up are rather interesting.

      He isn’t but looking at what those guys are getting paid, paying him what he’s making now wouldn’t have been terrible, they should have and still should be looking at pairing some guys with brown to form a pretty dominant d line

      The Bryce hate is nearly laughable.  He looked like garbage the first two games, but has really, really shown improvement and growth.  People who know football are taking notice.  Will Bryce ever be Arron Rodgers, Farvre, Manning or any other hotshot gunslinger?  No, but I think he is a smart football player who has survived a lot more than most other QB's would have after 2.5 years.  So long as this injury doesn't linger I think you will see legitimate growth over the next two years, with a big leap coming next season. Reich and Brown not working together, Duce causing trouble behind the scenes.  Starting WR's of Mingo and Chark.  No legitimate scheme for the OL.  Fitterer's general incompetence. An owner who was desperate for attention.  How did Zac Wilson, Mariota, Winston, Tribuski, Rosen, Lawarence, Fields, Jones, Pickett, and Richardson fair after 2.5 years?  We see what happens when the Texans have not given Stroud the support. The 2018 draft had great talent, they just needed to mature, hell we wasted two of the top three drafted that year.  Outside of Allen, Mahomes, Jackson, Burrow, or Drake Maye, I'm not sure I really would want any other 1st round QB drafted in the past 10 years? RELAX......  Bryce is our guy as we grow as a team.  The only other option I currently see is maybe a buy low draft pick on Drew Allar if he falls to the third round or lower. Bryce is going to be extended.  He won't get Prescott money which would benefit our team going forward.  A mid range extension like Darnold or Baker got may be just the thing this team needs to keep growing.

      Even if he had just a two week window of incredible play, it would open up people eyes to what the offense would look like with a different QB than what we've been fielding for the last couple years. No one is saying White should or could be a long term solution, just a different perspective on what the offense could look like, and if it hypothetically did happen it would put major pressure on the situation that they've been half-assing
