So if Jackson struggles to cover players deep on one side of the field as a corner, you think we should move him to FS where he has to play both sides of the field deep? Why in the world would we do that? Now move him to the slot and I would agree.

I do believe he would best at slot corner. Just wanted to see people's opinions of IF he got moved to that position. Like I said, unlikely to happen.

Thanks for the write up. Keep it up!

I agree about Thomas. We're all hoping for an Olsen 2.0 but, heck, I'd even relish a Jenkins or Walls clone. Thomas ain't it. For a 4th year player to garner praise from the head coach about having a good offseason this early in the offseason ...... man, I'd start packing.

He looks too trim even for FS. He'd get steam rolled in the running game and wouldn't a heavy hitter in any sense. His speed might good in 3rd and long situations. About it though.

I think he is too small to play the slot and too inconsistent.  But he's certainly shown he's not really an outside corner either. But what do I know.

I can buy what Rhule I selling.

Last year was the first year of an all new coaching staff, systems. There were no OTA's.  I'm sure it was a struggle for Ian. 

With that being said, I really don't expect much of him. Guess it's just from overall disappointment with him.  

If Rhule is right, we win. 

If he's blowing smoke, we got that covered too.

I was playing madden the other day and downloaded an updated roster (with all the new additions) and the guy that created it had D. Jackson at FS. Obviously this would be with Bouye taking his spot at the CB2 position (after his suspension).

This is probably unlikely, but I wanted to know what some people think about this idea. 

He is the fastest CB in the game, he is a much better CB2 with Horn on the other side. AJ is slot for me. Horn is a beast on there.

I think Grier has ‘moved on’ mentally.

He prob isn’t fully accepting it yet, but his comments the other week tell me he knows he’s not going to make it at this level. 

To be fair he should have never been picked were he was. He's just another example of a poor FO that has now been corrected.

Jackson can run really fast and has decent ball skills, that's honestly about it. He's really inconsistent and he's a poor tackler. He must have been a terrible route runner or something because honestly his skill set screams slot WR IMO.

Yeah I'm not sure why people say he can play the slot. His tackling isn't made for that position. I would be surprised if he's eventually cut.

"He's small, he can play the slot"

That needs to die sooner rather than later.

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner.

      2025 Draft Re-Grades (Or, One Idiot Doubles Down)

      By Raskle · Posted

      How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.

      Who was the better HC - Rivera or McDermott?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
