  1. 1. How do you envision Brandon Hogan...

    • A starter across Gamble who will solidify the secondary...
      47
    • I like him better than Munnerlynn, but I still want a CB Day 1

    • He's not going to work out at all.

Seems like we're going to have to rely on some kind of young player in 2012. Whether it's McClain/Fua, Hogan, Martin, Senn/Williams/Williams, Gettis/LaFell, Barnidge, O-line dudes(too many new guys lol).

Why not put faith in Hogan? He hasn't played many games but I feel like he could be a lot better than Munnerlynn. I think he's also a decent punt returner right?

Drafting D-line and relying on Hogan may be better than drafting a CB with the same D-line.

Build through the draft is big with this team. About the only way they can do that is allowing the drafted players to play. I think DE/OLB will be the top two picks.

I vote yes. Let him compete and start. He's probably finally 100% and will have an actual offseason with the team and defensive scheme.

If it weren't for his injury and checkered past, he'd be a 2 rd pick last year, much like how most of the huddle is clamoring for a CB in round 1 or 2 this year.

I love Hogan. I'd love to see how good he can be.

I think he's too small but he played well in college against bigger wrs like Jon Baldwin.

But I'm sure Rivera will give him every bit of opportunity to try and win the no.2 job.

If Hogan can be the sure no.2 cb, we could easily go DL in the first two rounds. Something like Coples/Still could help our DL instantly on creating pressure, where we could play with what we have at secondary.

Love the thread idea, still worried bout Hogans size tho. He's 5'10? Munnerlyn is like 5'7 or 5'9? We couldn't defend the deep ball for Jack last year. Kirkpatrick is a giant who would have no problem going up for a jump ball with today's big recievers.

One of the knocks on kirkpatrick is that he never really play the ball well in the air. Its really the reason why he got burned when he did, his ball skills are pretty suspect for his height.

If we don't draft another CB this year in the first two rounds, we should ride with Hogan until next years draft.

Agreed, i think if we cant get Claiborne we should just hold off on getting a top talent somewhere down the road and just get some quality depth for this year

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
