Panthers claim CB Chevis Jackson


Dpantherman

Recommended Posts

From the year he was drafted, Kirwan had him as the 13th best corner in the draft:

http://www.nfl.com/draft/story/09000d5d807d2841/article/drafts-top-cornerbacks

13. Chevis Jackson, LSU

Height: 6-0 Weight: 192

College stats: 39 starts, 142 tackles, 38 passes defended, 8 interceptions, 2 forced fumbles

Vital numbers: 4.52 40-yard dash, 4.15 short shuttle, 40-inch vertical

Jackson is a steady zone corner with lots of experience, and a guy who gets more out of his speed because of good fundamentals. He will not get beat from a lack of concentration or sloppy footwork. He may be as good as he's going to be but that may be good enough to stick in the league for years.

Draft projection: Round 4.

Sounds like camp fodder. Although he did have an INT return for 95 yards and a TD his rookie season. That was his only pick of his career and the last three years he literally has no stats.

For what its worth, he sucks on Madden...

I've seen several folks post Madden references on this board lately. Do people honestly judge players that way?

If that's the case, let's pick up Bo Jackson from my 1991 Techmo Bowl game and just run him every single play. Who needs a quarterback then?

It was obvious they was waiting to claim someone off of waivers or whatever, they'll probably end up going for a more experienced skilled guy once more people are dropped off. :\ What was the point of bringing him in? Any suggestions on how the CB dept thing is going to look like?

I wasn't wondering and know that it at least is worth as much as yours. Keep your hat on, just a post...

Just making sure that your small little brain realizes that Madden has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with real football.

Damn, we are being over-run with pre-pubescent little shits on this board lately.

Good point. Which is why we should've signed one of the higher-tier guys while they were still out there. I'm worried about CB and DT right now.

Truth is, he probably is camp fodder, but I think if we took some of our guys into other camps, they would probably be camp fodder as well. ;)

He is camp fodder--not better than Stanford, McClain, or CJWilson.

How do you know that Chevis Jackson is not better than R.J. Stanford, Robert McClain, etc?

This team is filled with one above average cornerback in Chris Gamble (yes, above average; wether you choose to acknowledge that or not is your prefrence), five cornerbacks that are mediocre to below average at best in Chevis Jackson, Cletis Gordon, C.J. Wilson, Robert McClain, R.J. Stanford, and two what should be above average nickelback's in Kendric Burney and Captain Munnerlyn.

I mean really, we just need to sign another above average corner and keep a few of the mediocre corners. Chris Gamble, (another above average corner), Robert McClain, R.J. Stanford, Chevis Jackson, Captain Munnerlyn, and Kendric Burney would be a more reliable corp (along with Brandon Hogan on IR).

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
