Interesting read on our new safety, Nakamura.


Recommended Posts

“I take a lot of pride in special teams, and you can just see by the way I play,” Nakamura said. “Whenever I step on that football field I play as hard as I can. … I don’t settle to be average. I don’t put special teams in the backseat.”

I like this guy. He seems to have his head in place and has a bit of swag to him. Special teams might be something special this coming year.

Well, it's a start.

Now, get Chris Gamble to reduce his cap number to $2.5 Million, so the Panthers can sign either CB Jason Allen of the Texans OR CB William Middleton of the Jags. This defensive backfield needs a MAJOR upgrade, and either of these players will fit in nicely as a starter. That way, the 'Cats can move The Captain to his natural nickel position.

The alternative is to see what it would cost to trade for Asante Samuel. Either way, it would expose Gamble for the Poser he really is. If the Panthers had a bona fide CB on the other side, Gamble would get thrown at and torched all day long...and we already know he can't tackle.

Gamble had a great year, that fool don't know what he is talking about, Gamble covered every #1 WR and damn near shut them all down.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
