We've only got two corners who are taller. Oliver is 6'0 and new signee Rashaan Melvin is 6'2.

Our current number one corner (Jackson) is only 5'10.

The one CB we looked at this offseason was 6'2" and isn't Snow quoted as saying he likes fast and long CBs?

As long as they are on cheap rookie deals that's fine. We are doing what we can with what we have. So far, none look like they should be a part of the long term plans yet and someone has to play NB. If we flipped that entire unit by the end of the next draft I would be ecstatic with the process.

I can understand passing on him, but just basing it on height? 
 

I guess you would have passed on Revis also? 

One, this guy isn't a Revis level player or he wouldn't have been cut. Two, I would take Woodson over Revis everyday if we are playing choose the great CB. 

It's not just height. It's price, skills and height. If we are talking big contracts then they better have some height on them or be a freak athletically.

What if he was good and under 6’, would you pay him then? 
 

A good player is a good player, his height might be reason he is good or bad but by itself it doesn’t tell you anything and using it as a singular metric to decide on a player is poor evaluation.

Don't know. He was exceptional so I wouldn't think it would change much other than his normal self was great and would be better in that scenario. And yes price matters. 

That's true but it can be a deal killer when they are not good enough at that position. This guy in discussion doesn't look worth it unless we are talking one year get into the next draft and take a CB in the 1st if we still have it. 

The NFL has changed their rules dramatically to favor the WRs in those matchups. Everything matters at CB because they are playing a position where it's not fair. I'm hoping, from what I have heard from F/R/S, that by the end of next offseason we will have better options at CB and FS. I just don't think we have the luxury to make much of a dent this offseason with neglecting the O last offseason.

Somehow, we are like $28m under the cap, according to Newton (SI).  We need a CB so that we can look for a T in round 2 or in the event we have to trade the second round pick.

Time to do something.  I think we land one of the free agents by Thursday at the latest.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      First of all the out was not caught because XL slipped and was the only person who could have caught that ball.  I'm not sure where you get that it was almost intercepted but go ahead and believe your story. The kick was in the direction we wanted the ball from the opening kickoff.  Do you think Fitzpatrick didn't try several kicks in that direction before the game and after half?  Do you think we just winged it.  Come on, OK so he missed one earlier.  Kickers can't adjust.  You make it sound like it was a wing and a pray. I saw the game.  Yes and we still got 21 yard from the running game.  We also got two first downs via that pass.  So it isn't like it was 100% we were going to run.   You have your blinders on and hate BY so much that you can't give him any credit because it defeats your narrative that he completely sucks.   What I have yet to here is you 100% for sure solution.  Which QB are you going to bring in that GUARANTEES that he'll be better than BY.  See the difference between you and me is I understand that he isn't the greatest QB to play the game.   But he has strengths and he continues to win whether you like it or not.  You and I have been on this forum for many years and agreed and disagreed on many topics.  I don't think I have ever seen you so filled with so much hatred for a player than BY.   I'm just going to leave it here to agree to disagree because you aren't going to change my outlook and I definitely am not going to change yours.  I do appreciate no personal attacks.  Someone said it earlier.  Ride with our game manager until a Mahomes falls into our laps.

      Young QBs lead their teams to undefeated October

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      The key difference being expectation. Jake was basically an afterthought of a free agent signing. Bryce is a guy we mortgaged the franchise on to be THE GUY. Not to mention a different era of football before all the rule changes to benefit the passing game. I don't care how we win either. I just realize that the odds of continuing to win in today's NFL with this level of QB play are very low. If I knew for sure that the Panthers had already decided to pursue other options at QB this off-season I could breathe a sigh of relief but of course they're not going to say that publicly.
