Guys like Coleman and Harris have had some flash-in-the-pan years, but Bell is legitimately the best safety Carolina has had since Minter retired. That is how poor the safety position has been for this franchise.

I've always thought of Chinn as a 3-4 LB. 

That said, if a team wants to give us a decent receiver for him, I wouldn't mind

Bell is a fantastic signing. Best safety we've had in a while

Weakside ILB in a 3-4 under-type defense might work, but Chinn needs to be in space and I don't know what OLB they'd line up over the weakside tackle. Maybe Burns? Definitely not Luvu. Seems a waste but they won't be in this base front much.

I'm just kinda baffled by it. Everything that has been said about this staff about our defensive scheme led me to believe we wanted to play with two deep safeties. Okay... then why Vonn Bell? Bell is very similar to Jeremy Chinn stylistically.

Yeah, 3-4 LBs are expected to take on a lot more blockers than a 4-3 LB. I honestly just don't see Chinn as a great fit there. I think he's getting traded.

I don't know about traded but he is definitely miscast in a base 3-4. I don't know how anyone looks at that tape of his rookie year and thinks to play him in center field or as a base 3-4 LB. It's just weird how mismanaged he has been.

I'm telling you I would not dismiss the Richardson talk.

I have no idea what to believe. But I do know that you can make a very legit argument that from a pure physical talent perspective he might be the best QB prospect ever. No bullshit.

If you think he has what it takes between the ears, how can you NOT draft him? 

Then again, JaMarcus Russell could throw the ball 90 yards off his knees or some ridiculous poo like that, so yeah...

That's what that Panthers will have to figure out.  I do not spend countless hours watching tape on these guys and I do not watch live games of any college team. But I know an nfl level player when I see one. I can usually tell when someone is the kind of player that his teammates will love and play hard for.  Of the 4 Richardson fits that bill.

      What we had then, what we have now...

      https://x.com/4thand1show/status/1975274357174784272?s=46   saw this this morning and came to post something similar. I didn’t just love the team or the wins, I loved those dudes man. They put everything they had out there every Sunday. You didn’t see a rep where anybody on that field was low effort in that era, and if you did they were quickly sent packing.

      Our 2nd Most Productive WR

      …is Brycen Tremayne with 108 yards. Not sure what that tells us but I imagine it’s some sort of gumbo consisting of the following: - Bryce can’t push the ball downfield  - contrary to what many were saying this offseason, the wr still needs a lot of work.  - we need Coker back badly.  - Brycen is pretty good! Congrats to that young man! Curious to hear other’s read on it. Was a pretty surprised to see he had more yards than anyone other than Tet and thought that was symptomatic of our issues on offense.

      I don’t think many fans would have guessed the Chiefs and Ravens would be where they are right now. Same goes for some surprise packages like the Colts, I’m not sure many would have put money on them being top of their division after five weeks. It’ll be interesting to see if this continues!   Not necessarily. The Chargers have lost both starting OL and their 1st and 2nd choice RBs. They fell apart against Washington. The Broncos have just beat the Eagles, so they’d be my favourite in that division, but they are still only one win ahead of the Chiefs. All the Chiefs need is a couple of results to go their way and they’ll be right in the fight for the AFC East. I think that division is going to be very close and probably not a 12 or 13 win division like predicted. Unless of course the Broncos kick on.
