Will This Cause Claiborne To Fall?

When Claiborne came out of high school, the schools that recruited him knew he had a learning disability. I don’t know much about his disability other than it has to do with reading. Everyone I have talked to tells me that Claiborne has great character and is a great kid. He knows and understands his disability and uses all the resources that LSU has available to control it and to help him get by in the classroom. When it comes to football he puts in extra time to learn and understand his assignments and it is not a problem. Will he need reps? Probably, but no more than the usual rookie would need. In saying that, Claiborne’s test score was NOT a true indicator of his intelligence. He can and does learn.

This test is designed to see how you think under pressure. If Mo has a learning disability this test is like asking a guy with a speech impediment to sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl. I'm sure there is much less pressure on him on a football field than in a classroom.

I believe people are born as a Tabula Rasa. If Mo had been raised under different circumstances perhaps he would have finished middle of the pack in testing. I for one don't feel bad for him. I feel bad for the people he grew up with that didn't have a physical gift that could earn them money.

My grammar is poor. I don't understand it, I don't see the need for it. However I work as a civil engineer and have no problems in my field of work. Mo's field of work is football and he's an amazing prospect.

Also, if this does make him fall out of the top 5 picks, If this somehow makes him drop to us, what's the problem? I don't see a problem at all. If anything that might light a fire under him and make him work much harder to prove the bucs wrong every chance he gets, that goes for every team that passed on him. I certainly hope this makes him drop, because we'd be laughing our asses off at the fact that they passed on him for THIS and we get the best CB tandem in the NFC south. I'd cream my pants and not care what the rest of the draft looks like. Well I would care but I'd be in such a state of euphoria that I wouldn't pay attention to the rest of the draft.

So yes, let this make him drop to us. Please. :D

      Exactly.  You let him play out next season and continue to develop Thorton.  Jackson’s earned his next contract, but his age and the risk of tying up such a large portion of the payroll at one position leads me to believe that we’ll let him walk. In all likelihood, we’ll draft another CB, or two, and bring in some journeymen to fill the roster void, between now and the start of the 2027 season.  That’ll create more balance financially across the roster enabling us to invest in other areas.

      I’m just not impressed with these hires/openings

      As far as the NFCS … I think this division will be hotly contested the next couple of years.   I am tending to pay more respect to both Atlanta and the Saints n terms of how strong they will be moving forward, than not.    I am mixed on Ryan but think they have a decent roster to start with. I don’t think he blundered hiring Stefanski. And that offense can be dangerous with a QB. Plus, defense is arrow up. No 1st round pick, WB issues will dull their effectiveness. Question is, to what degree?   I think Moore is going to be a good HC and can overcome tape that people have on Shough. They need a lot but they were playing with people. Just the way you want to see all the way to the end.    Not sure about Tampa they have Mayfield but I don’t think they can maintain their success and Bowles is not going to last much longer. They have to go through all that. Gonna be tough once it starts. Might already have started.    For us I feel pretty good about Morgan. But less so about our offense, we have some short term RB and OL issues and those things are critical given what we are working with at QB.  Overall, mixed. Like a lot of what I see but some major question marks remain.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      Absolutely. If we are talking about a 20 year old youngster. He's a grown-ass man, and he doesn't know what his job entails or how to do it? Maybe he will be better next year! It's the Panther way.
