well Im not much of the re-watching games type dude, but over the past 3 or 4 days I did re-watch most of the second half of the season and this is what I have to say:

-Josh Thomas could very well be the Panthers #1 cb next year and I believe he deserves it. This guy is the real deal, but being so new to the team and name recognition hindering his opinion on many, he doesn't get brought up enough...

He will be a standout player for this team next year.

-Captain Munneryln is player any team would want on their side. Not saying he is a starter, but he plays with so much heart and energy it would be tough not bringing him back for the #3.

-Dockery played well, but is a better 4th option moving forward.

-The only question is whether Josh Norman can use this off season to improve leaps and bounds and show he is capable of a #2, (since Gamble is likely gone bc of $), I think he has the mental approach to the game that we want, but it's one of those things that will show itself at training camp.

...I know many of yall want a corner in the first 2 picks of the draft, but my honest opinion is OG/Safety/WR/DT are the wiser options

What do yall think?

You must have watched a different Munnerlyn than I did. I saw him get bitched at by either Rivera or Thomas Davis just about every game for missing an assignment and hes also not far removed from being the league leader in allowing completion percentage...

Good effort isn't enough. We need players now. New direction

In my opinion, Munnerlyn is too much of a risk to continue paying. It seems that almost every game there is some bone headed play that makes me want to get rid of him. In today's game, CBs are a very important part of a defense and we really need to upgrade our secondary, especially if Gamble leaves. Know what will make our DEs go from 10-12 sacks to 15+sacks? A better secondary.

This is basically it. There will be better options than Captain moving forward.

Munnerlyn is a free agent. We cannot afford to sign him, and he will get offers. Gamble probably getting cut too. We are fortunate to have taken Thomas off Dallas' hands. They needed immediate help and he was a project. I agree that Thomas could be solid #2 CB, but we need another. Dockery was not bad--maybe he can play nickel.

Thomas is better than Norman. At least right now. And Rivera and the Def coaching staff thought so too. That's why they benched Norman. Now he will get better hopefully. But it's wrong to leapfrog him over Thomas when Thomas outplayed him on the field. Norman was a 5th rd draft pick not a 2nd, so draft status give him much of an edge here.

I'd rather not see more of Norman in a starting role anytime soon, but we can get by with any average DBs, so long as we continue to add talent to our D-line. Norman was really bad on certain plays last season, but he plays with a lot of passion and confidence. Talking trash, screwing up, and then talking more trash. He has a lot to learn. I really don't care that much about the CB position because it's clear that the key is a dominant pass rush. Use young and hungry CBs, and when they ask for money, dump them and bring in a new crop. Spend the money and high draft picks on the D-line.

I just remember seeing Cap'n getting mushed to the ground a couple of times when he was n press coverage. It's true he has some interceptions but we do need a solid and stronger nickel.

He's one of the best nickel corners according to pff, maybe you were watching him when he wasn't in the nickel? Because I remember he was CB2 before Norman got pulled.

      Bust alert - Eight NFL players running out of time to prove themselves entering 2026 season

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Bryce has improved each season, fwiw, statistically.  His slope is rising.  (Not to say I am high on him--I am not, but I have not given up on him--nor have I given up on XL, but damn he pisses me off)  CJ's slope is descending.   I was never a Penix fan.  Never, I say!

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that we could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch Sorsby.  If Bryce regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  He is a great dual threat, RPO QB.   I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.  Pickett?  King?  yikes.

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.
