Panthers about to trade for CJ Henderson?!?!

Wow

1. Horn is probably out for the season, I don't want us to rush him though, do what's best for him. Injuries like that aren't injuries you play around with.

2. Donte Jackson isn't getting re-signed.

I don't think point 2 is necessarily true. We have two first round corners on rookie deals, so why not extend our other CB1 caliber corner?

If you think about it, we just got a first round corner for a third round pick. Can't beat that, especially given that CJ was only drafted last year.

That logic is not always good to apply. Being selected as a first round pick means nothing if you end up being trash. Not saying that's the case for CJ (I know nothing about him), but it is true for others.

Agreed, but as with Samuel, you have to let some walk.  This defense can't, by and large, be coming up for contract at the same time in a couple of years with us retaining every piece along the way.  We've already sunk a ton of money in Shaq and just think of all the young guys that come up for contract over the next couple of years.  D-Jax has improved his game, but he's not close to irreplaceable.

By the time these guys need to be extended, Shaq's bad contract will be off the books and he'll be in his 30's. I'm not hating on Shaq, but you're right, we can't keep everyone.

Sam is a looking like a real-deal franchise QB.  That deal was a no-brainer.   It also wasn't a knee-jerk reaction to an injury.  Potential franchise QB for a 2nd rounder is a steal if it works out.  A troubled CB for a 3rd is okay, but we could as easily filled by going another route.  Dude was in the dog house in Jax.  Urban could be a prick or maybe there's something to it.

The very first thing that Urban tried to do was hire a coach who got fired from his last job for abusing his players. Gonna go ahead and place my bet on Urban being a prick.

I get it and if it works out then great.  You guys are making Henderson out to be Revis or something.  Dude is HARDLY a known/certain commodity.  If so we would be giving up a lot more than a 3rd.  This a calculated risk for sure.  Henderson, while a first round pick, has not looked worthy of the #9 overall selection.

Everyone is getting caught up on his draft status and not what he's done since his draft day.

Take his draft status out of it and this is what everyone is so jacked up over:

    • Calling carrier for getting punched in the nose just to keep us from a 5 on 3
    • I just mean it’s always offsetting in that situation.  I didn’t realize they called another penalty
    • And as I asked this again before, what goes into PFF's man open %, as I know you've brought that stat up before. Is that just the number of routes he gets open at any point during the route, or is it calculated on targets and if he was open when the ball got to him. Because like I pointed out so many times in the lead up to the draft, a big reason it was harder for him to get separation against man was because he not only had his man on him, but he was double or triple teamed on the majority of his routes this past year.  Just because of that alone, it was easier for him to get open against zone coverage where he could find holes and sit in them. Also, again, as been discussed so many times, his QB's play this year was awful, and lots of times his contested catches were due to him not delivering the ball on time when T-Mac got open.  Or just times he got open but wasn't targeted for whatever reason. So just using that stat as a way to say he struggles to get open against man is more likely than not, disingenuous. Hell, it's a PFF stat that you're using against him, yet at the same time, PFF absolutely loves him, he was their 4th overall player.   I posted this clip on here a week or so ago of the T-Mac vs Hunter game in 2023, where the anti T-Mac guys like to say Hunter shut him down.  But numerous times in this video you see T-Mac create tons of separation from Hunter but the ball wasn't thrown his way, plus a clear PI that wasn't called (and the one that was). https://x.com/4MR_Fetti/status/1918262063660454227 The "he can't separate" narrative is way overblown and become something more myth than reality.  No, he's not an elite separator like some of the quick twitch WRs, but he's so much better than the haters here like to say.
