i think hogan has potential but i don't wan't a cornerback on the first draft day because that would mean taking a corner in rd. 1 . unless claiborne slips, i wouldn't want one at pick 9. however, i do want us to go corner in rd. 2.

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.

Ball skills really have nothing to do with getting burned though.

The reason there are questions about Dre's coverage skills are because he isn't that fluid in his turns when covering a WR. He can use his physicality but that can only take you so far.

As far as the poll, I selected "I like him better than Munnerlynn, but I still want a CB Day 1."

Not really sure If I can say for certain that he is better than Munnerlyn but he can't be much worse. Will need to see more of him. But based on promise I'd put him ahead of him. Having said that, I'm not sure I trust him fully to be our #2 CB. There are several CBs in the draft, namely Claiborne and Jenkins, who in all likelihood be upgrades and start opposite Gamble.

Munnerlyn was really good in 2010 as the slot guy and taking over the number two spot late in the season due to injuries and benchings.

He got exposed last season as a number 2 but I think he has decent ball skills and would be good in a 4th cb role, special teamer. He is good at jamming a wr at the line but it seems all the wrs in the nfc south are 6'2.. Julio Jones, Meachem, Benn, Colston, White, Mike Williams.

We cannot have enough cover guys but I lean toward a Dline guy if Mo is gone.

The reason I didn't vote in the poll is because the first option should be "A starter who will struggle at times because he's basically a rookie" and option 2 should be "I still want a CB in the draft, but whoever we pick is gonna struggle because he's a rookie."

Seriously....Revis? Everyone's he's awesome (except against Stevie Johnson). He makes up for his lack of heigth with excellent awareness n ball skills. He's also got nice safety's behind him I believe.

2 things... 5'10 is pretty average height for majority of CBs... and "Revis Island" doesn't imply safety help...

had one really good play last year, got burned a time or two i think, but too limited to make any solid decision.

give him his chance in camp but I think it'd be a mistake to ink him in as #2 and not try to upgrade the position.

I don't remember him getting burned at all... I remember Brees completed 2 perfectly thrown passes with incredibly tight coverage by Hogan.. That's why Drew Brees is Drew Brees. His ability in man coverage gave me the impression we have a legit starter that we found in the 4th round..

The thing about Munnerlyn aside from just being small, slow, and bad. He had bricks for hands. Occasionally he would get himself in position to make a play and he couldn't catch the ball. We need game altering turnovers. We don't need to be tops in the league but at least top 15 in turnovers.

Hogan started out as a receiver in college

definitely not enough information to form anything other than a speculative opinion at this juncture

coupled with we do not have a beat writer or anyone else except NJ panther with ties to the team that could feed us information on his progress.

I do not remember the play anymore but I was fairly certain he got beat once or twice for huge gains. Considering how frequently it happened to us overall I didn't exactly mark the play down but I am fairly certain he had a couple miscues in coverage. Perhaps I am wrong, but I don't think so.

This is how I feel. Honestly if we could pick up a talented CB in the econd then I would be all for drafting Cox or Brockers if we think that could happen.

I'm pretty sure we are talking about the same 2 plays.. you'll have to be more specific. He only played in 3 games, there are only a handful to recall from memory.

      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.
