A new perspective on Byron Bell

After watching Jonathon Martin struggle mightily tonight, it gave me a new appreciation for Byron Bell.

As a reminder, Martin was a mid-2nd round pick, and of course, Bell was undrafted. Let's hope he continues to improve, but his career is definitely off to a better start than what we saw out of Martin tonight.

What's crazy is that Martin was considered a 1st rounder for a while.

Didn't notice him tonight, which is a good thing. I'll look tomorrow when I rewatch.

No penalties so far either. Otah who?

Not bad from my seat but will have to watch it all again. Had a false start tonight though.

And I'm not saying he is an all-pro, just that he looked miles better than Jon Martin, a highly touted rookie. At least tonight.

Martin may end up the all-pro or he may be a total bust. In any case, it looks like we got pretty good value out of an undrafted FA.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By Carolina Cajun · Posted

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.

      I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
