Well the question was for the season, so I took it as season and not that game specifically, so I wouldn't take Horn. Not to mention, he is an almost completely unknown quantity versus a highly productive and extremely experienced guy in Tillman. He definitely wouldn't be starting over Josh Norman.

Harper was a tough one. I just went with veteran over a guy that is really still pretty raw and learning. Plus, Chinn is pretty ineffective in pass coverage, so that would be a concern. To me, more so in a one season timeline than Harper's waning effectiveness. 

Chinn and Harper are similar types of old-school SS box safeties.  Harper was just as limited in coverage as Chinn.  The difference is, Chinn is an absolute athletic freak (10/10 RAS) while Harper was about 73 years old as our starting SS in 2015 and one of the slowest, if not the slowest, safeties in the league.  So Harper had zero recovery speed when he did get burned in the secondary.

Rookie Icky over 2015 Oher?  2015 Oher was so very solid. 

Basically rookie Horn over Peanut Tillman? 

2015 isn’t going 15-1 and to the Super Bowl any longer when you start making a bunch of those type tweaks.    Giving up consistency and a high standard for raw developing talent.  
 

Oher was alright.  Think he gets a lot of credit because he was the tallest midget we’ve had at LT since Gross retired.  Ickey has potential to be a top 5-10 OT in this entire league.

And Peanut was decent.  But most of the credit he got came off of his punches.  He had lost a step at that time.  Horn, is a top 10 pick, Freak athlete,  who pre injury already was showing to be a true poo down CB.  I think he easily starts over Tillman with Tillman coming in in Nickel packages

Question isn’t about if Horn and Icky can one day be better than 2015 Oher or Tillman.  If you replaced Oher and Tillman with the 2 rookies as they are now….would that team be better that particular season is how I interpret the question.

Icky this season I don’t believe will be as consistent overall as 2015 Oher.   Same with Horn/Peanut.  And Peanut was bringing a lot more than just play too. 

I think Icky will be better than Oher.  I just don’t think 2021 Icky steps on the field and is instantly better than 2015 Oher.  Who was very solid and consistent that year.  And that was what Cam needed to do his thing.

Don't try to fix what isn't broken, defense was solid as is. 

Just putting Moton in at RT would likely have been a big enough difference for the Panthers to run an effective offense against the Broncos. 

The Moton change alone gets the Panthers a Lombardi Trophy. 

Agreed, the defense basically gave up 6 points in that game.  The Bronco D scored one TD themselves and set up the offense on the 4 for the second, accounting for 15 points.  One of their FGs came after our special teams stood around thinking the PR had called for a fair catch and the ball wound up on our 14 yard line. 

Had they found a way to give Remmers any help on Miller, we still might have won.  Moton alone probably would have done the trick.

Definitely not with the random game of his life kony early had against denver. I think he may have gotten more sacks in that game than the rest of his career...

What’s crazy is if we won Ealy probably is MVP. Dude balled out that game

Taylor Moton, Dj Moore, CMC, Chinn

if you count slot then Donte/Jaycee, Cortland Finnegan was not the same player at 31.

I can't remember what other bad cb we had playing because peanut was hurt. Was it bum ass Robert McClain that kept getting torched by Sanders?

CMC, moton, Moore, Robbie, Chinn (for Harper) and literally any current CB for McClain (take your pick of horn or DJ) would be my changes.

Oher did great with pass blocking that season, and that's with Mike Shula calling dive, dive/QB sneak, four verts on first, second, and third down 80 percent of the game. His run blocking was pretty poor, but I'll take a tackle who can't run block over a tackle who can't pass block/block anything (see Remmers, Mike)

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
