Is the defense TOO multiple?

Haskins led the team to two three-and-outs to start, completing his first two passes on third downs, but both throws were well short of the sticks. The next drive ended prematurely as Haskins threw behind fullback Derek Watt. The ball glanced off Watt's hands and into the waiting arms of Panthers cornerback Brian Burns.

Seems like a waste of an MVP caliber DE to have him playing CB, although he did snag an INT.......

I remember Peppers making a few interceptions out of nowhere, seemingly jumping 20 feet into the air and randomly picking off a pass here and there.

Peppers was an absolute freak. He was just one of those dudes that could probably line up anywhere on the field and be relatively competent playing that position.

You do know that most teams  use their linebackers to rush as well as occasionally mix things up dropping into coverage to confuse the offensive blocking protections and mix up the pass rush....

    • I would say in a sense he is better because he has extended his good outings to 60 minutes a couple of times.  It was a half, or even a quarter most other times.   But at the same time he looks like he did in 2023 so much of the time still that it is hard to say he is better from that perspective. 
    • Oh absolutely. If we choose the extend him, it has to be for something more in the $15-$25MM range, and that’s assuming he demonstrates more consistent play. It’d be for compensation greater than the true journeymen of the league but less than the upper half of starters. His current play doesn’t support anything remotely close to what other QBs have gotten on the first extension.    I believe the 5th year option would be for a bit more than this range, but that’d maybe be OK since it’d only be a one year commitment. What’s key is that the franchise doesn’t financially strap themselves by overpaying for their QB play. Honestly, if Bryce can be a ln average QB who is clutch on occasion, paying less money for that level of performance and having more resources to build the rest of the roster may not be a terrible place to be. Sort of a “lite” version of the benefit from having your starter on a rookie QB contract. 
    • Disagree on love and caleb being unquestioned. Love is terrible  and I am not sure if Caleb is good or not
