Chinn and his 19 snaps Sunday

[Panthers Fan 69]

I’m sorry if this has been posted but what’s up here?  Was he hurt?  I don’t Chinn is that good but is also being played out of position.  

[TN05]

This team hasn’t known how to use him since his rookie year

[Carolina Disaster]

Terrible they can't figure out how to use his talent.

[Riverboat Ron]

Reich forgot he was on the roster, happens to everyone.

[Waldo]

If he has talent and value but not in their system then why is he still here?

...so Evero ain't all that...

[Newtcase]

I'm honestly wondering if it's just more of the personnel management issues that have already been admitted regarding Thielen and TMJ.  The thought is almost preposterous until you consider that we called a play designed for a single player, that wasn't on the field and then called a timeout.

He doesn’t have a true position. He’s another situational tweener a la burns

Wasn't an issue for him as a rookie playing LB.

He's best as a 4-3 OLB. The only other position he's a decent fit at is SS near the line of scrimmage. Unfortunately he doesn't have a position in a 3-4 and he's definitely not a nickel or FS. Reminds me of when Thomas Davis was drafted and they kept trying to make him a S when it was clear he didn't have the speed to cover on the back end full time.

Not sure why this staff once they decided to move to a 3-4 (and really a 3-3-5 for the vast majority of snaps) decided to hang on to him. Should've traded him this past offseason once they realized he wouldn't be a fit.

Yeah he could be our TD clone if this franchise wasn’t complete ass

[stratocatter]

A lot of it could be packages and situational, and things are uncommonly misaligning with the situations they want to use him for. 
 

Something like, they thought there would be a lot more throwing against us or some other thing. 
other than that, he has to be an example of a bad fit because we know he can play. 
he hasn’t don’t a lot that I liked, or noticed I mean. Couple plays.

Not sure he is ever gonna be that guy. He would have to bulk up a fair amount.

He just doesn't have a "regular" role in this defense. He's sort of a square peg.
