Panthers acquire special teams 'ace' Colin Jones from 49ers

Roto says the thought about moving him to WR a whole back.

In other words, he won't be making any contributions defensively. It's sad that we'll make all these moves for ST "aces" just to cover for Brian Murphy's deficiency as a coach.

or maybe brian murphy asked for specific personnel moves to cover for talent deficiency on the field. why make the most negative, worst possible assumptions without anything to back it up?

i mean seriously, if we didn't go and get this guy, posters like Growl would be all like "this team is so complacent, god forbid we actually go make some roster moves to improve our team, grumble grumble snarf"

now that we make a move, it's "that damn front office conspiracy, making moves to get new guys on the team just to cover for a deficiency garble snarf"

get the fug outta here with that noise

here's some actual content that isn't idiotic bitching and baseless speculation

Colin Jones is an American Football safety who is currently a member of the San Francisco 49ers. He was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft.[1] He played college football at TCU. He went to high school in Bridgeport, Texas and graduated in 2006.

backup safety, not much to go on here, but it fills two holes potentially.

Youre right, despite the large influx of dollars an talent into special teams this offseason, along with an additional year implementing the system and an additional assistant, we have absolutely no reason to believe Brian Murphy isn't a good coach.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
