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.

    • After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...  
    • Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning. 
    • I like Morgan's approach but I'll wait for a few winning seasons before giving too much praise.
