I can't for the life of me understand banging the table for a corner after watching these recent playoff games. If the goal is to compete with the best it's your offense that is going to have to get it done. The league has clearly shifted. Yes there are some very good corners that still command respect but in general nobody in the NFL is losing sleep over one and people really need to bring themselves out of the 90's and 2000's and into the 2020's.

Banging the table? Not really happening. But some of you are acting like corners no longer matter in the modern NFL being that "the league has shifted." That's counterintuitive as far as I'm concerned. We might as well throw anybody back there and let teams run 50 points on us every week. 🙃 

Corners are still necessary, and shutdown corners are even more valuable due to the league being what it is. 

Football is the ultimate team sport, and I will never cosign skipping over a player who's markedly better than what's left just because what's left is a perceived need. That's not how you ultimately build contenders. Now if players are close, I might justify it. If you can get fair compensation in a trade down in a year when you need picks, that would make sense. But you don't give players away, and you don't throw a pick away on a bad deal.

Of course they matter. But as we have seen they can be neutralized and the calls we have seen seem to lean more and more toward offenses the last few seasons and the best teams are taking note. Until that changes offensive skill positions are going to be the most sought after and the Panthers would be wise to follow suit. We have done the defensive identity route for a quarter of a century and we have zero back to back winning seasons to show for it. Perhaps it's time to shift to the other side of the ball.

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
