Positional value dictates MLB isn that big of a need.. Carter at the right price is solid and all you need when surrounded by Good DT's  and LBS around him..

Of course, much like a pass rush and stuffing the run game helps DBs.  But this defense gets gashed on occasion, and this franchise has valued MLB-  Mills, Morgan, Beason, Keuchly--all ring of honor candidates.  So I think positional value at MLB is important to any defense.  Carter is playing below average, and well below the standard in Carolina.

If you need statistics, Carter has 41 tackles this year. 4.1 tackles for a MLB is not solid.  After 10 games, Morgan, Beason, Luke were usually in the 80 range. Donte Jackson, FWIW and to compare, has 33 tackles--nearly as many as our MLB.

Carter's PFF rating (take it for what its worth, but you can use stats to defend him if you'd like) is 48.4.

So I disagree.  MLB needs to be addressed this offseason.  4 tackles per game is below average We need our MLB making 6-10 tackles per game.

Gilmore is a beast. If he doesn't want a ridiculous and toxic contract, he should get resigned over Jackson. We have Bouye next year, Taylor is looking promising, Henderson looks to be getting his reps now and Horn should be healthy next year. Jackson is the odd man out in all of this, the young guys have so much more upside than him in coverage no matter good he is playing this year. I just don't see Jackson wanting what he is worth which is really good #2 money which is still a big chunk of cap. Just a guess but I think Jackson and his agent are ramping up for a huge payday and I hope that won't be us. Riccick, Gilmore, Burns and then Moore all are above resigning Jackson at this point. Still plenty of games left but other than injury that list stands in my mind. 

As for the comp picks, I hate to be the one to say it but with our lack of picks and desperate need on the Oline I would not be expecting any comp picks from this offseason due to the more players signed then lost with value calculation.

Not to mention that they need a starter quality DT on top of all the things you listed.

In a perfect world, Gilmore and Horn man the outsides.  Play matchups in the slot with Taylor/Bouye/Henderson and have Jackson floating around playing the ball.  Sprinkle in Chinn bringing the thump and Shaq’s improved coverage we could be looking at a serious No Fly Zone.

Gamecock bookends.  I likey.

They really do---so having 7 stud CBs should not be the way to go...I do not see Nixon, Roy, or Hoskins in that second DT role yet.  We may try to re-sign Jones?

We could try to upgrade mlb but we should not be spending first round picks unless we draft in the 20s. Linebackers have short shelf life. Shaq is gonna last a bit longer because he didn’t play much his first 3 years. Rather use that position in the 2nd or 3rd.

I’d also prefer Gilmore to DJax if he is at all cheaper. MHS mentioned him playing FS which would be great, also with Horn, Henderson, and Taylor being so young (Bouye is a solid vet too) I’d like to have a vet like Gilmore to mix in there and use his expertise and knowledge from NE to help coach up our young guys. In a perfect world the Gilmore contract would be cheaper and for less years (2-3) because of his age. DJax might be a 5 year big money deal elsewhere.

I can’t envision us giving DJax big money. He’s definitely earned it and I hope he gets a big pay day somewhere. There is just too much depth to warrant spending it on him. 

Someone else will gladly pay up and he deserves it. I just hope it’s not his home state Saints with their infinite cap….

Is it Carter or the talent around him that has his numbers low??

The CB and Secondary in general are better Tacklers.. Plus the Dline and Shaq going crazy... 

I think Carter has been avg. To a little above player this year.. He puts players in the right spot and while not being flashy he makes plays.. He is a better version of Lester Towns and if the money on defense is at Dline and CB I can deal with a Carter at Mlb..

      Another Bryce breakdown

      By KSpan · Posted

      Gonna have to strongly disagree with you here. Here are the last 20 Super Bowls - only two of them IMO had QB that didn't play like Superman to get them there/win the game/both, and that was Peyton in 2015 and Ben in 2005. Even then they both had that ability, Peyton was just old and Ben young. That said, there were flashes in the pan like Foles in 2017 and (to a lesser degree) Flacco in 2012. But even counting that, it's 4/20. 20% odds aren't good enough and Bryce was absolutely drafted at #1 to be a guy that elevates an entire team and plays like Superman. If he can't do that then it's a failed pick, full stop. Being a poor man's Teddy doesn't cut it for a #1 overall and that's true for any team, not just Carolina.

      Another Bryce breakdown

      By rayzor · Posted

      the problem is if we're waiting for Cam v2, we're going to be waiting decades longer.  our best hope is that bryce is better than we all think he is and that canales is able to work some serious magic with him and the scheme to help him live up anywhere close to the potential we thought he had. he's a smart kid. we just have to be able to have a situation that allows him to use his smarts.  the truth with cam was that een he had to have a system tailored for his skillset coming into the league. the difference between him and luck (which was the debate in '09 when we thought luck was an option) was that with luck, he could be placed in any offense and it would work...hence the higher floor he had  than cam. cam, though, needed an offense that was built around him to reach his potential. he could have done alright in a more pro-style offense, but to reach his ceiling (which was seen by a lot of people as being higher than luck). i don't think having to have an offense tailored around what you can and can't do well is a problem for people who can develop around them...after they've truly identified what those can and can't items are. we didn't have that last year. i think we have that this year. we want a guy who can carry a team on his back, but those kind of guys are very rare. we don't need to spend our time trying  find that guy, because even when you have them there's no guarantee that they will be enough.  championships are won, quite often, by teams who learn to compensate for less than the greatest QB play. you have a great defense and can protect the ball while wearing out the other defense and you've got a chance.  we don't need Bryce to be superman (despite where we drafted him and what we paid to get him). we just need him to be able to run (manage) a good offense.

      Pete Carroll on Canales (New Fox Sports Article)

      By Navy_football · Posted

      The Panthers aren't building a Bryce Young roster. Alabama didn't recruit personnel to fit a Bryce Young scheme. Canales' approach is to build an NFL roster (which they didn't have last season) and then cater his scheme and playcalling to what the players do best. The team is not pigeon holing itself into an offense that doesn't fit any other QB. Their goal this off-season was to provide NFL average or better talent to the offense - period. Very little to do with matching personnel for  Bryce Young's skillset or lack thereof.
