Why do we keep signing/drafting undersized LBs at safety and then act baffled when they suck in coverage?

Mike Minter has a chokehold on the franchise from beyond the grave, we still think run support safeties are the happenin' thing even as modern WRs blow by them

I was looking for Blackmon's injury history and couldn't find thorough details. Looks like he had shoulder surgery in the offseason. Ankle and knee seem to be what kept him out of games. Says he started 16 games in 24 with 100% snaps on D, 15 games in 23 with 95% D snaps and 14 games in 23 with 75% sanps.

Good player when on the field but it looks like the Colts were not willing to bet on him again this year. Making him play 100% of the snaps while injured last year and then not brining him back is wild. I wonder what he is asking for in pay.

Its just absolutely baffling. I have longed for a legit sideline to sideline over the top true FS for decades and we keep rolling out safeties that play like they need to be wearing a fuging neck roll.

Yeah, we need a center fielder and we draft third basement playing a bunt.

So you think two safeties visiting at once is a negotiation tactic? “Here is an offer, but don’t forget we’re also looking at this other dude so you better take it.”

I had that thought.  I also had the thought, "We will sign the wrong one."

I was even proposing trying Farley at S if CB is not his thing.  We have no pass rush (at the moment) and no deep S.  What could possibly go wrong?

Free agent S Julian Blackmon will visit the Panthers on Monday.
Blackmon, a former third-round pick, has been a five-year starter for the Colts. Last season, he started in all 16 games he appeared in, notching three interceptions and four pass breakups while also totaling 86 tackles. He’s appeared in 31 of a possible 34 regular season games over the last two seasons and will be 27 at the start of next season. The Panthers continue to look for ways to improve a defense that ranked 32nd in points allowed and touchdown passes allowed. Blackmon earned a PFF coverage grade of 73.5 last season and would give them a solid starter on the back end if the two sides can agree to a deal.

Free agent S Marcus Williams is visiting the Panthers on Monday.
He’ll join Julian Blackmon on the safety tryout circuit in Carolina. Williams was released by the Ravens in a move that had been expected for months. This is the first known outside interest we’ve seen for him. Entering his age-29 season, the safety has a long track record of NFL success but posted a dreadful 37.3 PFF coverage grade in 601 defensive snaps last year before the Ravens moved him out of the lineup in Week 11.

      Carolina Panthers pick No. 19-2026 NFL Draft

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Just going off the draft sims and he's always sitting around 20 lol. First year in a while where we haven't been thinking about the draft already in late October so haven't really looked into the top 15-20 picks yet. Also the qb class is super weak so he probably will sneak up into 10-15

      Your Feelings on Bryce Through 3 Seasons? (POLL)

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      I fully expect them to pick up his 5th year , and they're waiting for him to put a full excellent consistent season of QB play in year 4 or 5. If that don't happen,  they'll eventually cut ties.  Here's to hoping he just goes on a team in 2026. The worst thing he could do is continue to see-saw us to around .500 records because it might be impossible to replace him at that point unless youre willing to do the veteran qb carousel poo we did from 2019 to 2023.

      Your Feelings on Bryce Through 3 Seasons? (POLL)

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What do you think of Bryce Youngs career thus far? Are you excited about his progress or is it not enough for you? I included a poll of ranking his performance through 3 years thus far.  I personally think he's made some decent progress. Has had some high moments (last half of 2024, Rams game, ATL game in 2025)  but in my mind, those are still outweighed by the many more lowlights thus far (ex turnovers, missed throws, poor decisions)  It's a very mixed bag for me. He's done enough to get a 5th year option but by no means should we lock him in with a 50+ mil a year multi year deal. I want to see him play consistently well for a full year before that happens (yes, I'm still saying that going into year 4. That might be telling).  Just sucks when you see CJ Stroud, Jayden Daniel's, Caleb Williams almost immediately lighting poo up with their arm talent. Maybe Bryce is just an ultra slow burn. I don't know what to think anymore. Guess we're gonna be stuck with him for a whilr unless we end up being bad enough to earn a high pick next year. I doubted it lol. Overall Stats for his career:       ● 14 W - 30L (regular season)       ● 0-1 playoffs record        ● 61.4% completion, 8291 passing yards, 49 TDs, 30 INTs  Year 1:       ● 2 wins, 14 losses      ● 60% completion rate, 2877 passing yards, 11 TD to 10 INTs, 5.5 yards per attempted pass Year 2:        ● 4 wins , 8 losses        ● 60.9% completion rate,  2403 passing yards, 15 TD, 9 INTs,  6.3 yards per attempted pass  Year 3:        ● 8 Wins, 8 Losses         ● 63.6% competition rate, 3011 passing yards, 23 TDs to 11 INTs  Playoffs         ● 1 game in year 3 ( 0 - 1 in playoffs)         ● 21/40 (52.5% completion rate), 264 passing yards, 1 TD, 1 INT.
