chris was injury prone but they didnt want to pay a penalty for letting him go so they traded him for depth at linebacker...... but they did this because they feel Godfrey and Martin will be better playing the saftey positions than chris harris.......... I mean really, he could hit but he got burnt alot..... he had no cover Martin will play FS and Godfrey will move to SS because he is the better hitter but he can still cover. I like the move frees up cap incase they want to sign a vet.

I understand what you are trying to say but there is NO salary cap so we don't have to worry about "freeing up money to sign a vet".

The simple answer is that they don't view him as a "core" player so they moved him in order to strengthen a weak position. I doubt we see any more moves but there is always a chance somebody gets released that we really like.

I hope your right and the reasons were not simply monetary

Harris had some injuries, but he was not injury prone, they're two very different things.

I think this is an improvement in the passing game, but a down grade in run D. However, in a division with the Saints and the passing game of the Falcons I don't know that it;s a bad thing.

I love Harris- I love his style, his physicality, his strong vocal leadership- but he was a liability in pass coverage, particularly for a zone scheme. Martin and Godfrey are both better coverage guys, but neither one of them could have made that goal like tackle on Brandon Jacobs like Harris did and neither of them will demolish lead blockers like Harris.

I'm divided on it, but I think I understand why. The only think I don't get is why we didn't get someone of more value. He traded a proven starter for a career, thus far, back up.

Sounds like this trade search had been going on for a while. Perhaps this is the best that could be gotten. Maybe he was not worth as much a we thought he should have been.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Yep, the Panthers powers that be seem desperate to convince themselves he can clear the bare minimum bar of demanding a legit franchise QB contract. Canales seems to be laying the groundwork here of building the case that all of Bryce's shortcomings are still there and even more glaring than you may have thought while his strengths aren't nearly as strong as you had hoped and aren't near enough to make up for the lack of pure physical tools. When you have historically anomalous lack of measurables you need historically anomalous positive intangibles to make up for it. That was always issue with Bryce as a prospect. Like Parcells said when evaluating him, "he better walk on water".

      I'm honestly not sure how much "west coast" plays into it. There's a huge difference between Tucson, AZ and Spokane, WA where he spent the previous two decades of his career. Chapel Hill is significantly different than Spokane but way more similar to it than Tucson. You're talking about a pretty significant plane ride to get back home either way. He and his family would be flying private and direct so we're talking about a 3ish hour flight vs. a 5ish hour flight. That's basically a wash. It's not like he went from Gonzaga to another PNW program. Tucson is a dramatic departure from Washington state. Honestly a far bigger departure climatically and scenery wise than Chapel Hill would be.
