Our last super bowl team featured Cortland Finnegan and Robert McClain at DB, along with Norman. 

In 2003, our CBs were Terry Cousin and Reggie Howard. 

The common denominator in those years was that we had a dominant front 7.  You can hide a crappy secondary all day if you can pressure the QB.  Building a team from the outside in is a recipe for failure. Literally, you can patch together a competent secondary by picking up guys from trash heap after the last round of training camp cuts. 

Josh Norman was a dominant shutdown corner our super bowl year.... your argument is half right meaning its all wrong.

Norman and peanut for most of the season. Norman was an all pro. We had two top shelf corners on that super bowl team

Actually we beefed up our secondary to defend against Mike Evans, Michael Turner, Chris Godwin, Calvin Ridley, Julio Jones (if he isn’t traded) and now Kyle Pitts. Rhule said our biggest problem was not getting off the field on 3rd downs. Hopefully Horn gives us a fighting chance back there.

You got to be able to a score with those teams too though.  

We had Bradberry.  And he held it down vs those guys as good as anyone could.   

I think the focus should be on the QB and the lines.  Not the DBs and WRs.

Where someone is picked and who is available at the time....has a lot to do with how I critique the selection.  

our roster is Sam Darnold, Grier and PJ...and was passed up Fields for Horn.  

 

Sooo...because you are mad at our QB room, you are mad at the JC pick. Makes perfect sense.

 

Rhule likes Sam, if that works our we are good. If not, we go at it again. We have coaches that can teach. Why not wait until the product is actually on the field before you write it off?

Perfectly ok with the pick, Jaycee is a dog with that competitive drive that you search for in a player!  

Not to mention the NFL bloodlines. He’s been groomed for this moment. Now he needs to build on his potential and I don’t think we would’ve taken him that high if we didn’t think he could.

I mean, the goal is to build a winning team.   QB is most important piece to that goal.  

Rhule was forced into a position where he simply had to replace a Teddy caliber QB with the same.  He did that.  

I supported kicking the tires on Sam.  But that is all we are doing.  It likely goes how that generally goes.

Um... Josh Norman was a lockdown corner that year and thrived in our zone D scheme. Agree Finnegan and McClain were bums and led to Sanders abusing them pretty badly in the Superbowl.

And we had Ricky Manning and Mike Minter in the secondary for the 2004 Superbowl that both made big plays in the playoffs (Manning was the only reason we won that 2OT game against the Rams)

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
