Panthers Plan on Martin being a CB.

Recommended Posts

martin was a college safety, but he went through the postseason all-star games and combine working as a corner, and the Panthers think they've found someone who can contribute immediately.

“He's coming in as a corner,” general manager Marty Hurney said of Martin. “He's an explosive kid, tough, a hard hitter. We think he's going to come right in and be part of the mix.”

:eek:

Nickel corner is the 12th starter on defense. If he is our nickel then he will probably play more snaps than any other back up. When it comes to playing teams like the Saints he will probably play as many snaps as Gamble and Marshall.

And if they do end up leaving him at safety, then it's not the end of the world either. I'm not sold on Godfrey. He had a bad rookie season and gave up too many big plays.

Not to mention the amount of pass catching TEs in our division now, he'll have to cover.

    • Also, just for clarity, is this thread meant for general discussion of Bryce Young, or discussion of General Bryce Young?  
    • The word I feel most comfortable using as a descriptor is "inconsistent". Haven't really seen anyone disagree with that. Consistency being one of the things I value most in a player, that makes me lean toward moving on. But he does still have both time and opportunity to prove otherwise. Mind you, having a streaky quarterback isn't exactly a new thing in Charlotte (you could argue it's been the norm). Delhomme was notorious for starting slow but finishing strong. He could sadly also find hos way into ruts that were difficult to crawl out of. Newton, on the other hand, was often known to start hot but fade late (the vast majority of the 2015 season followed that pattern) though it could be argued that was a team pattern as much as it was Cam's.  There are definitely some fans for whom this is always going to be a bridge too far. (or too short) Realistically, it's not impossible that he could still have a good career even with those issues. It's a damn sight more difficult, though. And arguably, less likely.
    • Oh, I did, and they weren't based in emotions either. Granted, characterizing them that way gives you an easy out to avoid responding to them. Similar tactic to dismissing the other guy's points with "nah, you didn't really watch the games" which saves you having to debate what he said. Strikes me as a kinda lazy way to go, but hey both elements are still back there if you feel up to trying later.
