Chinn is a LB/S hybrid. He's not making up for losing our #1 CB. We were already thin at CB. 

I get that Pitts is listed as a TE but lets be honest, he's a jumbo WR. He's a matchup nightmare. There are very few safeties and even fewer LBs that aren't going to be significantly overmatched by him one on one.

It’s not just Pitts, it’s the issue of Chinn looking poorly in coverage. I know Pitts is a different but Chinn was the guy who should be able to cover TEs.

We lucked out that Ridder is terrible. Pitts didn’t even double move Chinn here and he absolutely abused him. We need him to step up. 

It’s been a long time since Chinn impacted a game 

his rookie sensational year seems long ago

someone on this bloody team needs to step up and make plays

im sick of excuses ‘ it’s a new scheme’  ‘our star xyz is out’

this is football…not physics 

lesser teams have won games 

someone needs to step up Monday night

Chinn is once again an overhyped player. We continue to paint these guys as stars and they are not that.

 

Chinn is a hybrid S/LB who should be used on blitzes or in the box. He's not a DB.

 

If Chinn is a DB we are going to get torched in the passing game.

I’m probably guilty of remembering Chinns rookie year and thinking he’d be that plus some more in future seasons.

They immediately bumped him to free safety and stunted his growth. Maybe his rookie year was a flash in the pan no matter what but spending 2 years shoehorned into an unnatural position is not helpful, and he's still out of position this year. Dude needs to be a 4-3 SS/ Thomas Davis Joker-type player.

I know y’all are high on Chinn but the dude has massively regressed after his rookie year. His game tape we watch last year and this past Sunday shows it. He has every athletic trait you can possibly want. He lacks the nfl mental right now. Tons of little mistakes that add up. Watch his feet and hips.  He too often get caught flat footed and getting turned around. Also, he overshoots the run too often.  He could get away with that freak athleticism in D1aa but in the nfl he just seems to be a step Behind.

Yeah, a lot of folks are overlooking that the guy is playing his third position in as many seasons. Playing him as a deep FS was just absolutely baffling though.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      Any idea what happened to him at LSU? im reading that he was considered a 1st round pick in 2023, had an off 2024 season with only 4 sacks but was also on a horrible FSU team then went to LSU where he was supposed to be on an aggressive defense that should have given him a lot of sacks but he only ended up with one….   was he injured? Did the top SEC competition expose him? What happened? Cause this guy was considered a top prospect .

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.
