Sean Chandler and Sam Franklin are not NFL caliber players and would not be rostered on any other team. Funny how they are both Matt Rhule's Temple guys and they're both dogshit. Juston Burris is a decent player but would be much better suited as a top tier backup. 

Moving Chinn to SS would allow him to utilize his skill set more. He isn't the greatest in coverage but would be well above average for a strong safety. We would be able to utilize him in the box more to help out in run defense. He was so good last year in his box safety hybrid role and it just seems like another case of the staff mismanaging players. He's an average free safety but would be a pro bowl caliber strong safety. 

That brings us to Donte. He has improved his tackling tremendously (aside from the occasional whiffs that we were accustomed to seeing in years past) and is a big hitter for a guy his size. His speed is among the best in the league giving him fantastic range. With his size as a corner though, he sometimes gets bodied by larger receivers where even with great coverage and positioning, he isn't able to make plays on the ball allowing untimely receptions. Having a fast, ball hawking free safety would do wonders for this team, especially with his ability to create turnovers. A starting secondary of Gilmore, Donte, Chinn and Horn would be one of the best in the league.

Donte may not want to make the switch but it is one of those situations where players need to make sacrifices for the betterment of the team.

Idk, just seems like it makes too much sense which is why it will probably never happen.

lol donte is about to cash in on CB1 money, he wont be playing FS anytime soon.

You say that like there is a huge contract difference. Besides the top 3 corners that are major outliers with 100 million deals (Donte isn’t anywhere near the level of Jalen Ramsey) the top paid corners are roughly within a million or 2 in annual salary. The high tier corners are getting 16 to 17 per on average while the top safeties are getting 14 to 15.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
