Richard Marshall = Worst Starting CB in 2010 season?

Captain is what Marshall used to be: a guy that looks good in nickel packages and as a spot starter early in his career. I wouldn't say there are forty some guys who consistently started at a corner spot for multiple seasons that are proven better than Marshall.

People act like Marshall is worse than he is because we watch him every game. He may go somewhere and be overpaid, but I would guess that he is a league average second corner.

well, no....I wouldn't say that either. I still wouldn't put my money on Marshall in that scenario though. I think Capt is better in coverage in than Marshall ever was. Not by a huge amount but enough to notice.

If Captain had a couple inches I would say he had the potential to be a really good CB in the NFL. His game is good.

Marshall and Godfrey are the same to me.....much better athletes than football players.

I like Captain too, and he may prove to be better if he gets the starting job permanently, but I don't think if you looked down the rosters and talked to fans the things they say about their second guy are different from what we say about Marshall.

true...and the you could probably argue the 55th best CB is right there with the 35th. Once you work your way so far down the list.....there ain't much seperation. I think guys like Capt get bumped ahead of Marshall though. So that already puts Carolina with 2 CBs ahead of him.

We have a chance to upgrade the position this offseason, regardless of how you feel about Marshall. Don't blow money on him when there are plenty of good FA corners on the market this year. The defense has a chance to be top-tier this season. Let's make the final push to make sure that is the case.

dont think he's that bad but he's not worth a big contract. The only positive I see is he's tough and plays hurt. I've seen his bell get rung a couple of times and he doesnt come out of the game.

Can't pay a guy who doesn't want to be here anyway.

      Yes, more recently. The way duke fans act you'd think they'd won five of the last ten or something crazy when they've actually won zero if the last ten. They haven't even even played in a championship ship game in the last decade. Carolina has played in three. For all the elite NBA talent that has come through Durham, duke is in a woeful championship drought. Duke fans used to talk all kinds of poo about how Carolina failed to win titles with Stackhouse/Wallace and Carter/Jamison and honestly they had a point. We should've gotten a title or two out of those teams. But man, duke's current run of elite talent with no titles puts that to shame.

      A Zietlow (observer) 3 centers to consider for draft

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      In response to mailbag questions about drafting a center from Observer, Zietlow gives this infO  From Alex The Panthers, after all, aren’t going to be as stacked with interior offensive linemen who can be converted into centers as they were last year. Cade Mays is already gone to Detroit. Austin Corbett moved on to Buffalo. Brady Christensen might still come back, but his future is murky too … and he ruptured his Achilles five months ago.   Keylan Rutledge. The guard out of Georgia Tech has received high marks in the pre-draft process, and if he drops to the Panthers at No. 51 somehow, they should take him. He worked at guard and center during the 2026 Senior Bowl.   Jake Slaughter. The 6-foot-5, 303-pound center out of Florida really impressed at the NFL Scouting Combine in February, notably with a 5.1-second 40-yard dash time. He’s a center by trade, and coach Dave Canales likes athletic centers who can get to the second level of the defense. Slaughter is projected to be a third- or fourth-round pick.   Billy Schrauth. Another draft, another Notre Dame draft pick?At least, it’s possible with Schrauth, the 6-foot-5, 310-pound interior offensive lineman and team captain. He spent most of his college career at guard, but reports indicate a transition to center would be easy for him. He’s projected to be a Day 3 pick.
