Hadn't seen this interview posted on the huddle. 

Sharing this because Henderson is showing he is critical of his own production, and know for him to get to where he wants to be, he must play with consistency.  

Yes this is a no Brainer, but the feeling I get from most of the critical comments of him, is he just doesn't care to be the player he is capable of being.

From the way it sounds, Evero's defense funnels passing plays towards CB1. That would mean that CJ is rarely going to be on an island by himself (unless he happens to be CB1 on the play, of course). With a player who's confidence has been shaky at times, that could go a long ways towards making him a meaningful contributor to the defense.

Apparently he is really stepping up this camp and may resurrect his career. It would be a welcome surprise if he can live up to his potential in this new defense under Evero.

It will be huge if he does step up this year. Although he needs to prove it, it may save us from spending a draft pick on that position next year.

It is wild we had clowns on here saying we should release a former top 10 pick on a rookie deal who has ever been part of atrocious coaching staffs. I think we’re in for a surprise with CJ, dude didn’t just forget how to play CB after college

Contract years matter more.

hate to say it but I’ve seen this show before and I wouldn’t be surprised if this was the primary cause. People try hardest when their money is on the line.

I will take a contract year performance if it helps us win the division and make the playoffs, even if he ultimately signs with someone else for the big payday.

Honestly, I didn't think he was bad last year when he was our #3 corner. When he had to play #1 corner due to injuries and was matched up on Mike Evans with no safety help, everyone could have predicted what would happen...

 

Well. He was bad enough to where the competent staff we have in place didn't give him that extra year on his Rookie deal.

I'm really hoping he steps it up this year but I'm not holding my breath.

He had wilks as a DB Coach last year and did not improve, so I don't know if this staff will be able to unlock his potential either.

Then again, the scheme could be a better fit, but we'll see.

Like you. I'm hoping for the best, but trying to tamper my expectations. I don't need him to suddenly become a lock down CB, just a solid back up.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      We’re in a pickle. My best hope is we protect him and can run the ball vs most Ds and the WRs are healthy so he has every chance to not look like what he looked like in too many games last year.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.
