CJ Wilson hopes hard work pays off

A year ago, C.J. Wilson seemed ready to step up and become a key member of the Carolina Panthers secondary, a potential “starting” nickel back following the departure of Ken Lucas.

And then, just like that, things changed.

Along came unheralded seventh-round draft pick Captain Munnerlyn, who stole the job right out from under Wilson’s feet.

“That was a hard one to take,” Wilson admitted.

Munnerlyn’s physical play at the line of scrimmage earned him the team’s No. 3 cornerback spot, dropping Wilson to fourth on the depth chart and dramatically reducing his playing time. Instead of being a regular contributor on passing downs, Wilson only played in seven games in 2009, finishing with seven tackles.

Now, entering his fourth season with the Panthers, he finds himself battling for a roster spot with two more seventh-round draft picks — Robert McClain from Connecticut and R.J. Stanford from Utah.

My favorite quote:

You have to have a nose for the ball,” Wilson said. “When I see that ball, it’s like a fat man at a barbeque. You’re going after that meat. You don’t want the coleslaw. You want the meat.”

I don't care who you are, that there is funny:smilielol5:

      This has to be bitached about, those biased refs

      It really is insane how they always try to rig the game vs Dallas. Two exceptions being our playoff games.    Had we lost it definitely would have been right up there with the 2014 Playoffs vs 49ers, Dallas 05, Saints 2018 Playoffs, and SB50 as all time rigged games.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By AU-panther · Posted

      Say you don't understand PFF without saying you don't understand PFF... Every week seems like some of the same people are complaining about something they clearly don't understand.  I'm not saying they are the end all resource out there but once you understand their methodology you can start to appreciate some of their work. For example, their grading system isn't a high school grading system, try to look at some of it in relative terms.  Rico had an 82 rushing grade, that's pretty good.  I would be curious to know how that compares to every other running back this past weekend. Also, I think he had a few penalties, which if I'm not mistaken are graded pretty harshly.

      Passing Stats

      Can we go back to square one for a minute and remember what we paid for this guy and how he was sold?  He was like, the anti excuse. Makes everybody better, Did we get that?  I think the answer is still coming but so far you might can say that for a game or two.  Cam had issues with personnel every season almost. Horrible OL, but he had receivers. Decent to good OL no receivers. Etc. Bryce needs to stand up, or keep standing up, however you want to put it. It is big boy time in year 3. He doesn’t have to make the playoffs but there is a standard. We’ll see what happens.  But the excuses are just fuging tired.  ps, I mean let’s not crown him when he has franchise record production in two wins,.. let’s see when they stop that, how he does then.
