I wouldn’t say he was a system CB but leaving us definitely hurt his career. He fit so well in McD and Rivera’s defense, was still solid in Washington just not quite as good. Also he was elite in his playing time in 2014 so more of a 2 season wonder. Still one of my favorite all time Panthers despite the shorter tenure, loved watching that guy play.

Great pass rush + zone scheme. He was a VERY good zone CB. in 2015, he didn't have to man up. He could just sit back in zone and read the field because our pass rush was going to get there. When he went to the Commanders, they paid and played him like he was an elite man to man CB, which is not what he was at all. Not enough speed nor twitch for that. Then after that father time got him.

I think part of it was honestly Ron being Ron and keeping Norman in the dog house when he very well could have started 2 years earlier and been a big contributor.  By the time he broke out and signed his big contract in Washington he was at the eclipse of his prime and he wasn't exactly a man cover corner to begin with.

Product of a good d line and scheme.  Went to another team that didn’t have said line and scheme.

This happens to many vets that move on.  They believe that their success is based on their personal performance and not the team.  Many players are a product of the scheme.   Josh was really good in McDermott's defense but was mediocre in Washington's D.

We have Wilks back so if he was available I would like to see him here again.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
