From Pro Football Weekly

The Panthers do not yet have a clear answer as to who will start at right cornerback for them come Week One, but we hear the club would be pleased to see someone step up and beat out fourth-year veteran Captain Munnerlyn for the job in training camp.

The Panthers expect second-year player Brandon Hogan and rookie Josh Norman to push Munnerlyn, who started a career-high 14 games at corner last season.

Munnerlyn is heading into the final year of his rookie contract, and the team would be more comfortable using him in a reserve/sub-package role.

From Rotoworld

The Panthers would reportedly prefer incumbent RCB Captain Munnerlyn to settle into a reserve/sub-package role on defense.

Munnerlyn is a strong slot corner, but was stretched covering the outside last season. The Panthers reportedly hope second-year CB Brandon Hogan can step into the lineup opposite LCB Chris Gamble. Rookie Josh Norman is another option, and Darius Butler could be in the mix after making six starts last year.

We have a some young talented guys at the CB position. As much poo as Cap took for the 2011 season(rightly deserved) in 2010 he was the biggest bright spot in the CB corps that year. Don't get me wrong, I think he should stay at nickel, but he's a tough competitor. With Cap, Butler, hogan and Norman fighting for the spot, I fully expect whoever wins the job,earned it.

      This guy pre-draft was saying he could take or leave football, and he seems to have been playing with that mentality ever since lol.

      Time to Start Roughing Out the '26 Draft--Needs and Pecking Order

      By BritishPanther · Posted

      Agreed, another safety would be nice. Bud Clark, TCU, is one I would like to see us take a flyer on later in the draft, if he stays healthy and we don't take someone earlier. I just really hope we draft a solid C this year. Tired of seeing us cycle through average to below average players in that area.

      Downfield Disparity

      By carpanfan96 · Posted

      Bryce doesn't like throwing into the middle of the field unless the play broke down or it's set up to give him a passing lane.  So because of this issue, most of the passing offense has to be outside the numbers towards the boundary. So you see him throw a lot of dump offs, swing routes, short side out routes, comebacks or deep balls outside the numbers using the boundary as protection of an interception.    Pretty easy for a NFL defense to see this and scheme against it.  All you have to do is run a shell cover 2 deep dime, LB plays a hook underneath, take the flat away with a blitz/flat zone option for the two inside DB's, outside two DB's play hook zone underneath and carry anything deep.    Pretty much what NO ran to take away Rico while also limiting What Bryce can do as well.
