The obvious position switch

[redbuddha]

I know we have talked about having a tall corner, and we all hope Norman becomes that guy, but aren't we missing the obvious by not switching Jared Green to corner?

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Smh... If anyone needs to switch positions it needs to be Sherrod Martin back to corner.

[redbuddha]

I'm just saying the kid is over 6 feet tall, and his father may have been the best cornerback in the history of the league. Unlike say switching Edwards from QB to WR/PR.

In an ideal world Jared Green might make the 2nd-4th wr on the offense; given our corners, reaching #2 would be possible.

Martin has a good shot IMO of winning his job back before the end of the season. Flat out more talent and potential at FS than his replacement.

He just needs to be more reliable...

My God................................

I am confused by your response, do you think he doesn't have the physical tools to make the change?

[Iceberg Slim]

Interesting thought, stranger things have happend

[La Pantera]

Just because Daryl Green is his father does not mean Jared Green can play CB....and NO he doesn't have the physicals to play CB. Yes he's fast and tall, but he's also very thin and I highly doubt he could be that physical at the LOS against WRs. And I can't imagine him tackling WRS and more so RBs....he's a wide out.

[Jackofalltrades]

I'm really more intrigued by what he can do as a WR.

Not a terrible idea though, IMO.

[PhillyB]

does he have any experience at the position?

i think his upside is probably just as high at WR as it would be for CB... why throw a position switch into his development?

[redbuddha]

His measurables are very similar to Josh Norman's.

6' 0", 195 lbs Norman 40 time 4.61

6' 1", 185 lbs Green 40 time 4.32

With the slight differences I'm seeing he couldn't be couldn't be coached to greatness by our Secondary coach and/or his father in two years.

I am asking because we have now given Clausen and Edwards 3 years to adapt and improve and both are still on the roster.

I apologize if I am upsetting you but, I have seen high school, college, and pro coaches make position changes for athletes, and I always wondered what went into the thought process, that one coach thought you would be best at one position, i.e. QB, then another coach comes along and sees you as something different. Look at Michael Crabtree for example, High School QB, Record breaking College receiver. Denard Robinson QB, is said to be on NFL scouts radar at a position besides QB. Some people thought Cam and The Golden Calf of Bristol should play other positions.

It makes sense, but this ain't Madden. Same goes for Martin.

[joemac]

While were at it, lets just make Cam a defensive end....hes got the right size, and we sure do need help at that position.

It makes sense, but this ain't Madden. Same goes for Martin.

Well, Martin is different....he and Godfrey were both CBs in college. Fox coverted both. Fox never did that well...TD being the exception
