So here we go, the CB position is probably the one position that needs to be addressed. I'm starting to think we'd be fine at the WR spot, even if we don't sign anyone. But the CB position, not so much. Here's what's left from what I can tell.

1.Chris Carr, CB, Ravens. Age: 28.

He's a decent CB, he'd probably beat out Gamble for the #1 spot. He's not that old either, still would have at least 5 years left. He'd line up next to Gamble instantly. No doubt. This is the FA that I would want.

2. Nate Clements, CB, 49ers. Age: 31.

I'm not convinced with this guy, but at this point he's looking like an OK CB, next to Gamble he would be better than Marshall to be honest. If he comes cheap, I say sure.

3. Antonio Cromartie, CB, Jets. Age: 27.

Ah yes, Cromartie and his family. Um, next to gamble, we'd have a very decent backfield. This is another guy that I wouldn't mind paying a little more for because he's worth that little extra cash. Again, he's still young, has at least 5 years left so he'd be finishing his career with us. That's a good thing, means we can look for a replacement while him and gamble are on their way out.

4. Carlos Rogers, CB, Redskins. Age: 30,

If he can stay healthy. Yes, do want. Even if he's older. Getting him cheap might be a possibility, I can see him pairing with Gamble nicely.

5.Chris Houston, CB, Lions. Age: 26.

Some of you don't want this guy. He remind me a lot of Marshall, but he'd probably beat out marshall to be honest. I beleive he's slightly better than marshall, he's still young and can be coached still. He's definitely a #2 CB, which is what we need. If all the other CB's are signed, and it came down to marshall and him. I'd take houston.

6. ????? Don't know who else is left that can be acquired? Via trade? A. Samuel? If the trade doesn't leave a gaping hole in the panthers backside I say yes.

There's still some options at CB, I hope something gets done soon about this. Even if we don't pick up any more positions of need to secure a CB, I'm all for that.

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
