Today Rivera and Hurney traveled to Chapel Hill for a 2nd meeting with QC. I wouldn't read too much in to this except this is the same thing they did with Cam right before the draft last year. I think if Coples plays up to the potential that Rivera normally demands/gets he can be a JPP type game changer, and that has me excited. I still think Cox would be the safer pick, but I think all of us as well as our FO is starting to get the feeling he will be gone before we pick. Not that I don't realize the concern with QC, however their is no doubt he is loaded with talent(not Peppers/Suh once in a lifetime talent, but pro bowl game changing Richard Seymor/JPP talent) if he lives up to the potential. All this meeting does is make me praise the football gods that we might not take Luke K who is a very good prospect we don't need!: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/04/24/panthers-brass-met-with-quinton-coples-on-monday/

Been on the Coples train for a while. People don't understand that good defense in today's NFL isn't elite CB play, it's pass rush. Ask me if I'd rather have a Revis/Asomugha tandem or Jason Pierre-Paul/Jared Allen combo, I'd take the latter any day. I'd be happy with Cox, Coples or Ingram at this point.

Great...

He might have been playing "not to get hurt" at UNC, but what does that say about someone in a contract year for us. You play to win the game. If you're thinking about something else, you're not thinking about making the play.

I really do not want his motor looming over his time playing for us and looking like a Peppers sometimes.

I would be ok with this pick. If Rivera sees him planning out I trust him. Dude has a load of potential.

So what if Rivera think Kuechly is the best pick? Are you still behind him or does it depend on who he wants???? Either Rivera knows what he is talking about or he doesn't. What is it????

Yep if Kuechly is the pick I will stand behind him. I have my own opinions but Im not going to go off the deep end like you and CRA do about who you want. I have given credit to Kuechly where it is due but I dont ignore his shortcoming either.

Don't go speaking for me. I have already said I don't expect us to draft Kuechly. I think it will be Cox if he is there or Coples if he isn't which assumes we don't trade down or go offense. I have also not been as negative to any player as you have been toward Kuechly so step away from the edge before accusing any else of going off the deep end. As for being objective about Kuechly, that is pretty funny...... I only joined the Kuechly bandwagon to defend him from all the ridiculous and unwarranted attacks I saw from posters like you. I was on the Coples and Poe bandwagons before the whole Kuechly debates began.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By woahfraze · Posted

      Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.

      Totally agree with you, if we had invested in drafting a corner or two I wouldn’t even ponder adding Ramsey. But, to be honest we legit added nobody to our corner room this offseason we have nobody worth developing. Even if Chau Smith Wade is better then what I think, he is the only guy we have invested draft capital into outside of our starters.

      Look at his snap counts, your telling me that his entire college and pro football career every coach he has had has misused him? No offense but I don’t think you understand the role of a slot corner. Mike Jackson is the literal definition of an outside zone corner, he would be totally inept as a slot corner. Ala why he has been an outside corner his entire career.
