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. 

He’s too talented to ship off and would be a rockstar on any team, but he doesn’t fit this defense at all. It’s a bad position to be in.

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

The difference isn't as great as you might think.  Check it out:

Not that it matters, Chinn will never be a 3-4 LB.  He would probably be an outstanding 4-3 Will where he can use his speed.

Thomas Davis at the “joker” position was the reason they finally beat Vick in 2005

I was gonna make a thread about this but chinn is the prime example of organizational rot occurring under tepper, ruhle, and now reich. 
 

you had a player that looked like a perennial pro bowler his rookie year and was second in ROTY voting. 
 

the team then changed his position, put him where he wasn’t comfortable, and have maybe ruined him. Bad coaching early on is difficult to overcome. They’ve coached his instincts right out of him. 

unbelievable that the team didn’t watch his rookie tape and build their defense around him doing that.

Different frame, IMO. It could work out but not in this defense. 

If I have to choose between Chinn and Evero, Chinn is the odd man out.

      Looking like it might be game 7 for Pitt and Phi. Philly is spent. I like more rest for the canes

      Moton Meets the Press

      Moton is the man through and through. 2 things I'll always give Gettleman credit for, 1 is drafting Moton, the other is building a SB contending roster and blowing it up in one off-season

      Kurb is still alive and well.  I’m still friends with him on all of the social media.  He truly is a great man!  That’s my bro!  He always looked out for me since the early days of the huddle.  It definitely makes me sad that he just quit posting here, but that’s life.  He still shares his takes on social media and X, but a lot of the huddle vets just grew tired of this format and the environment, I guess?  It’s a lot of guys that were valuable contributors here that just stopped posting but are still alive and passionate Panthers fans.  Blindsite used to post huge write-ups and was a well-respected poster and then just disappeared.  We had one of these type threads several years ago and he checked back in and explained he just lost the motivation to stay active here.  It was amazing hearing from him again…   I signed up in 04 after coming over from the Charlotte.com boards and been here ever since.  (For those that don’t know - this is Proudiddy - had to change the name very recently due to ‘ol tootsie roll penis and the bad press 😂).  I’m forever thankful for all of you, even those who I haven’t had the greatest history with, I still appreciate yall.  Many have come and gone, both figuratively and literally, and that has put a lot into perspective over the years.  I went from a young, newly married, wide-eyed twenty year-old guy with a baby on the way, to a now forty-two year-old guy, recently divorced and newly re-married guy with my oldest baby now an adult and 5 more kids since.  And what ride it has been!  You guys have been a much bigger part of my life than I really care to acknowledge.😂
