Chinn needs to be a safety. We haven’t had a good safety since Mike Minter. We finally hit pay dirt and now we want to make him a linebacker. I just don’t know. 

Sam Franklin showed a lot of promise last year.  Looks like that puts an end to anyone wanting Micah Parsons.

He’s gonna play the same role, label doesn’t matter with him

He played a lot of linebacker last year more out of our necessity than his preferred position. He is more of a natural safety and would be our version of Earl Thomas or Ed Reed. I think we will use him as a hybrid but put him more at safety if our linebacking corps is improved.

Chinn isn't very good in coverage wouldn't call him Earl or Ed... ever

He is a second year player so of course he isn't playing at an all pro level yet. But his athleticism and nose for being around the ball and his hard hitting reminds me of those guys. Hopefully he has the career those guys did.

Preseason depth chart and position labels mean nothing right now in regard to special players like Chinn.   I for one see linebacker Corp as a decent group.  Reddick, Perryman and Shaq backed up by Carter Jr, Luvu, Mack and Miller is solid.   I think safety will be a more likely use of a higher draft pick.  Burris and Franklin as back ups for Chinn and Grant, sign me up for that pairing.  I do think they could add a linebacker ( KJ Britt or Ernest Jones) for special teams and to develop.  Jabril Cox, Bolton, Moses or Pete Werner would all be great additions earlier but Perryman should be what we thought we were getting with Whitehead and more.

He would fill the Kam Chancellor role better in my eyes

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      By Panthero · Posted

      Given that the immediate impact we need at edge. We almost certainly address that in Free agency, not in the draft. Same with Linebacker, unless Styles or Allen is still there at 19. I think the same for OT.  What is the position that we could draft in the 1st round and get immediate help in the first is how im approaching their decision-making  I know ill get dragged for this, but im thinking they go DT in the first. A guy that can play right away and be a complement to D.Brown to wreak havoc at the LOS.   So unless a top tier LB is there, I think DT will be the move.

      Cam Newton & Steve Smith Sr. break the silence after 10 years

      I think people forget that by his last season Steve Smith had the ass and he played like it - and for no really good reason other than that other stars were emerging on the team and he didn't want to share the spot light.  He was more of a locker room distraction than he was worth. He went on to have great performances with the Ravens' but G-man made the right move allowing him to move on from here.  I personally think it was addition by subtraction and we don't have a super bowl run with Smith on the roster. Steve Smith remains a narcissist who I've never seen internalize his own culpability when it comes to his relationships with others - it's always somebody else's fault as to why he was forced to act like an asshole. This video is a product ad.  I'm cringed that either of these two Panther greats are party to it.

      I think the ‘issue’ here is that we had two guys that clashed for several reasons. In some ways they were different, but in other ways they had a lot in common, and sadly they couldn’t see the forest for the trees. Sometimes when you have two people like that together they are either going to love or hate each other, and if it’s the latter, you need someone to mediate and hope the two individuals are capable of putting their differences aside for the common good. In this instance, they couldn’t find a way to move forwards together because I don’t think either guy wanted to play second fiddle to the other. This video basically said neither guy had the tools to bridge that gap and mend that fence, and perhaps also were unwilling to give an inch at that stage in their lives and careers. So a divorce, while unfortunate, was always likely. Do we win the Super Bowl with Smitty and Cam? Well, it’s one of life’s big what ifs for us Panthers fans.
