He was actually decent in coverage but played in a very undisciplined manner, both at LB and on special teams.

He is one of those guys that never achieve their potential, not because of physical limitations, but for what's between his ears.

I just remember looking at the box score of our preseason games this past year and always seeing this guy leading our team in tackles by a pretty big margin. Then I remember looking at Madden and seeing him at like a 47 OVR with like 50-something tackling...I was pretty upset about that lol.

As far as his coverage ability, I am not going by what some article says, rather by what I saw watching the games.

For example, he broke up the pass that ended the game vs the Jags, and he had another critical pass defense, although I don't remember which game it was. Compared to our other backup LB's, that's notable.

On the other hand, he was guilty of some bad penalties. Personally, I'm not surprised at all (or upset) that he's gone.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Panthers Addict · Posted

      I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.

      Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
