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.

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      By cranky · Posted

      Purdy only passed for 127 yards week 18 and then only passed for 108 yards in the playoffs. In those two games he had 0 TD's and 2 INT's and a fumble. Mayes in the Superbowl had a total of 63 yards with 0 TDS at the 13 minute mark in the fourth quarter. He only had success when the Seahawks went into prevent defense. Philip Rivers only had 127 total yards in week 15. Boomer with the Vikings had 126 yards and 4 INTS in week 13. Cousins had 167 yrds week 14 and while it was over 150 yards, he also had 2 INTs with 0 TDs. Yeah Young didn't have a good game but neither did any of these other QBs. And while he had the lowest yardage, he was the only other QB that at least had a TD - Philips had the other.

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      By CPF4LIFE · Posted

      He has to have a great year not a great few games...probably gonna have to finish with a winning record too for the first time as well. Front office has all the leverage, havent got much on the return for trading up in the draft no matter what bryce fans want to say. They have no reason to offer an extension right now. All the talk about his personality is just deflection off the talk about money. You can be the nicest guy in the world, it doesnt win games or make you a top 10 QB. They know that, spending all that money on the O line and drafting multiple offensive players in the first round of past drafts says a QB should have better production than what we have seen so far. We have to lean on a run game more to be productive in games rather than a qb we traded up to no.1 for. You can easily draft a more talented QB on a cheaper contract and get the same results bryce has given you so far. Thats the truth.
