First Look at CJ

He kinda reminds me of Peppers interviews when Pep was a young buck...Peppers could not stand to be interviewed and didn't like it when Mr. Richardson once called him out

I was thinking Chris Gamble but I can see Pep also. He strikes me as a reserved kid outwardly but seems a bit serious inwardly, if that makes sense.  I'm struggling with the words to define it but it's nothing to worry about.  He's just a man of few words. Rhule gets him and that's all that matters.

Meh. Gonna disagree with you on this one. Newton knows the situation and should frame his curiosity differently so as not to rock the boat on this newcomer so quickly. 
 

“WhY DiD JaCksToWn JaGgiEs DuMp YoU sO FaSt?! RiDdLe mE ThAt?!”

Or

”Things obviously didn’t end the way you wanted in Jacksonville. What was it like getting the call that you’re coming to Carolina and the #1 defense in the league? How do you see yourself fitting in on this team compared to how Jacksonville was using you?”

You're hired, welcome to ESPN

He’s going to be a good one. Not every player you get to know is going to be this extroverted, brash guy. There’s also nothing wrong with that, as we’re all different.

I can’t wait to see him play, and I’m glad he’s on our squad. I can’t wait until Jaycee heals up, as I have a feeling both he and CJ will be a fixture in our secondary for years to come. He reminds me of Chris Gamble and Peppers, and Gamble was my favorite player for a long time. Quiet, and made plays on the field. One of the best corners we’ve ever had.

According to my “research” (I.e I quickly scanned a Wikipedia page), the young man turns 23 tomorrow. 
That said he is young, has barely been a professional for a year and just had his life turned upside down. I can see this being an awkward situation for anyone and when you consider he is an introvert by nature I think it went well.  I will give home some leeway before judging. Let’s see what happens. 
 

happy birthday CJ and welcome to Carolina

I thought it went well. Not everyone is comfortable in front of the cameras and press, especially coming to a new city and program. Introverted people aren’t disinterested. 
 

And JFC David Newton 🤦‍♀️
 

 

David Newton is so fuggin annoying to me…jesus

Bring back Rodrigue and can this mfkr

Panthers are not blue.

Panthers are black. 

Therefore our home uniform should be black when it's not hot outside. 

So Seahawks are neon green and blue?  Rams are yellow and blue?  Broncos come in Navy and Orange?  Eagles are green?  I am not sure the color scheme has to mirror the chromatic composition of the mascot-that is all I am saying.

I think so.  Worth a third (minus a fifth) and a mediocre TE.  Hope this means more Tremble and not more Thomas.

I am really excited to have him. One of the reasons is that he played mostly RB in high school So, once he gets the ball he has the mentality to score. I love that in a DB. Which is why I was screaming when Donte was just looking at Burris on that Winston interception. Like WHAT ARE YOU DOING DUDE?! BLOCK!

Well those teams are Moronic do we need to be Moronic?

Seattle's original colors were Marine Green and Blue so colors that matched the environment of Seattle. 

The other two are stupid.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
