I was at training camp his rookie year and while everyone was gaggling on Luke and Cam, etc. I was talking to him a bit and asked him about playing in the slot. He had some rather choice words about that and was adamant he's an outside CB. Of course that was a while ago, but we know he has a bit of an attitude. Hope that if we do move him to the slot he takes it okay. Does anyone know if Bouye has ever played nickel? Because I could see that too, Donte really isn't that bad for a 2nd outside CB.

I think Bouye played in the slot at Denver. Donte can play outside, but he has to be matched up to the right WR. The Horn pick gives them more flexibility now.

That's smart, we don't want to hurt his feelings with competition. Same with Sam, we really need these two to feel the entire backing of the Panthers organization so they don't get their feelings hurt with the idea of competing.

I'm only frustrated because Fields was still available, and we absolutely need to get QB right.  

But, its hard to argue with Horn in the range he was drafted and CB was a huge need.

Sorry but taking the 4th QB of the draft at pick 8 is terrible no matter what the QB talent is, especially one with throwing flaws like Fields who I think is closer to Jalen Hurts than anyone else

If Sam sucks we'll be in a good position to take a QB high next year

this is nonsensical.  Its about the talent that is there.  The Panthers didn't believe in Fields and that is fine, but I've been watching him for a couple years and think he is significantly better than what some of his critics are saying.

We'll see I guess, hopefully he can do well with the Bears.

Best part of this pick is Donte Jackson is now a nickel CB where he should be

Completely agree. You can play Pride or Bouye opposite Horn and move Jackson to his more natural position. The talent in the secondary is as good as I can ever remember. 
 

The position pick is good. A corner who can shut down an entire side of the field is profoundly rare. It completely changes the defense. So if they think he’s that guy...he’s for sure worth this pick.

Fields is gonna bust hard on the Bears. He was visibly not happy to be drafted by them. Lawrence and Lance are the good QBs out of this draft. Mac might do alright on the Pats, he would have been a star on the Saints though.

      FLA showed everyone it’s not about superstars. they bullied the best line in the NHL into obscurity. they played hard, were in the right positions, and ran over everything that got in their way.

      That’s really not what you said and when I even expressed doubt as to your intentions with the post you doubled down and remained unclear on whether you were trying to drag Dean Smith for whatever reason. You just got the facts wrong, which if you don’t follow the local college programs like you say then maybe you just were mistaken and thought Smith didn’t win championships or have legit superstars, and that is ok, but you just doubled down when my first post was more corrective than anything. I’m not sure what you expect posting objectively false things like “RBA has a lot of wins with nothing to show for it like Dean Smith” (paraphrasing) on a message board with plenty of UNC fans. I’m not taking it as a personal affront, we can agree to disagree, Dean Smith’s legacy fortunately will not be affected by this conversation. Screw the (Florida) Panthers?

      Bring in the free agents and trades.  Florida is the best team and unless Tulsky makes it happen, it’s more of the same…which isn’t bad…but it’s time to win a goddamn cup.
