Let’s be honest, at #8 no defender was going get our defense ranked more than 27 out of 32 in one year. In my opinion I rather see whether Bryce has the stuff, cause I don’t think we know yet. This way we get to see entering year 3, whether he has a future here.

Fair point. The problem with our D last year was primarily our D-line and we plugged that up in FA. Our defense still isn’t top 15 at this point, but none of the players available were going to make us top 15 next year (in 2 years probably). Draft has a lot of players left.

If you think tet doesn't have concerns then you are blind. NFL Dbs are a whole other breed. Big with hands don't make you great, the guy is gonna have to develop some serious toughness to survive in the league. Defenders will get in his grill and stay there and he better learn to start liking watching film or he will be outta here in a few years. 

This guy couldn't pretend to love football for possibly a difference in millions for his first payday.

Rockhead. Absolute rockhead.

The crashouts are worth it no matter how this lands. The Walker fanboys were  as annoying as the day 2 Darnell Washington fanboys a couple years ago.

If you haven't noticed the people crashing out over the last 7 years have been right.

This. And frankly, an improved offense can do a lot for a defense. When your team has confidence their offense can score on their stops, that makes me feel at least more motivated on defense.

If you think the problem with the defense last year was the offense, then I don't know what to tell you.

Historically, historically now, one of the worst defensive units of all-time. COME ON!

A big reason why we should be hoping for XL's continued development as his 4.39 speed is going to be important to taking the tops off of defenses. 

Straight line long speed is severely overrated.  Especially by the panthers front office.

I said months ago it would be Walker, Graham, or McMillan. OK with it.

 

I do like how nobody had a clue. Walker was a smokescreen but not for the person that seem to have been leaking it would be. Double smoke screen.

"People around the leage" had no idea what they were talking about.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
