Also DJack looks much better this year on the outside, the kid Horn can follow guys into the slot like Marlin Humphrey in Balt or Charles Woodson used to do and shut poo down when he gets healthy lololol

Fitt is the goat man

Jackson isn't being re-signed.  It just ain't happening.  Love him and I'm so happy to see him maximize his skill-set this year like I always knew he could, but it just doesn't make sense for this team to re-sign him at the $$ he'll be worth.  And schematically, I don't think you are getting the best out of any of our 3 corners (Horn, Jackson, Henderson) if you put them at nickel.

I'd much rather us use that money on the OL.  We also need to extend Moore and Reddick.

We have 5 years of Horn (assuming we pick up the 5th yr), and we have 3 years of Henderson, now peep this, we only have to pay his base salary for 22, 23, and 24, in 25 he's eligible for a 5th year option. 

JAX is accountable for his guaranteed salary until that 5th year, so we have the money to extend Jackson, and have it end around this time and decide who to keep then. 

obviously the cap is a myth and all but if henderson balls out, it's very difficult to prioritize donte over burns, dj, or poo, even reddick now.

We just have too many other things that will need our $ though.  I know we can afford to keep Jackson but the question is does it make a lot of sense to do so?  Reddick and Moore definitely deserve to get paid and need to.  Brian Burns is likely going to need an extension soon.  We need to upgrade the OL.  I just feel like in terms of importance, Donte Jackson will be a little ways down the list.  Maybe if we could afford him at the going rate for #2 CBs but Jackson will get #1 CB money.

It's being reported on NFL.com so I think it's a done deal.  Which is a great move for Carolina.   CB are pretty much plug-and-play guys so he should fit into Snow's system pretty much immediately.

Here's the guy's draft profile for those unfamiliar with him.  Henderson is the bomb !

I am mixed on this trade...I really like how Arnold was turning into a chain mover and Tight End is a significant part of Brady's scheme. Also, Henderson certainly fits a need but I am skeptical about his performance to date in the NFL. He is often injured, seems to have some struggles mentally and was average at best last year and was not even one of the top 5 CB's from the 2020 draft class (performance wise) . From PFF..."As for Henderson, Jacksonville is already giving up on him after just one NFL season. He finished the 2020 campaign with a 58.3 coverage grade on 270 coverage snaps, the seventh-best mark among the 2020 cornerback class".

With all that said, he has to have potential or he would not have been drafted in the first round so hopefully we can get him turned around.

I love DJax but this seals his fate, assuming Henderson plays well.  I just don't think we can prioritize paying him the money he deserves.

OL really needs to be a priority we spend big on too.

He's got better but he's still not as good as he seems to think he is. It's a little bit too much of a coincidence for me that he got better as soon as we got a defensive line full of killers.

Ugh....

We're still prepping BC and Brown, lets see how they do. 

Fitt will have more time to prepare for line acquisitions next year.   Last year we sucked so no one wanted to come here,  Fitt had just been hired and good OL get snatched up fast while some of those deals are a long time in the making.    

Darnold took too long to throw on Thursday, and the line looked bad.  I'm expecting that they are spending a ton of time addressing that.  Fortunately, the Cowboys DL is not elite either.  I'm hoping for a better showing.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
