Suprisingly, Connor not being asked to compete for starting SLB spot

Diggs only had 39 playing out of the SAM position last year. Just throwing that out there. Anderson would nearly have to triple Diggs' productivity to reach 100 tackles, provided that the scheme didn't change.

Yeah, I understand that he would be switching sides, but he just flat out a ball hawk. It is unbelievable how fast and aggressive he is. Six of the games he played this year he had six tackles or more. He just really impresses me.

Maybe and time will tell. I think it is important that we note that Anderson had 3 tackles in 2008, and never more than 21 in a season before then. Maybe he has finally bulked up and figured the game out?

I think everyone will agree that the Panthers may have some trouble stopping the run this year. And I think most people would agree that Connor is better at stopping the run than Anderson. So why not play Connor in the base 4-3 packages and Anderson can play LB on 3rd downs if needed?

Okay I didn't think of that, and I really really like it. That would work. You need to get on the phone with fox.

I seriously doubt Connor will be any better against the run than Anderson. People seem to think that there is a trade off with Anderson when I think he will be better in most aspects of the game. This system favors him a lot more than Connor.

Connor is very intelligent and technically sound but he's not very fluid of an athlete when compared to our other linebackers. He's not in the right system to showcase his abilities.

Whoever wins the job I think we'll be solid. Connor, Anderson, and Williams all have great qualities that you would look for in a linebacker. I just think Connor is at a disadvantage by playing in this system at OLB.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
