For those griping about the Panthers not drafting any secondary help...

The Panthers went to the Superbowl with Terry Cousin and Reggie Howard as their starting CBs. They had the best D-Line in football that year. Why not try that formula again? Gettleman is banking on pass rush to make the secondary look good. And why not, it works. That is all.

the key to this will become our LB's. because for teams to compete with this front, they will have to make quick short passes as well as the use of screen passes. it will be critical for carolina not to over penetrate and get beat by a screen pass.

B/c the rules changed. Our corners today can't rape WRs like we did in 2003.

Pass rush aids a secondary....however, last year we generated the most pressure per snap and QBs had the best pass comp % against us even with that.

Did you see the Seattle Seahawks secondary? Those guys are the most aggressive in the entire league, even beyond the new rules.

The rules haven't changed; they're just called more consistently.

Norman and Thomas have the tools be good CB's. DJ Moore and Munnerlyn are some of the best slot CB's in the game. Florence is a seasoned veteran who probably isn't so good anymore considering our front 7 should be insane this year he should probably be able to take advantage of that. I'm not worried.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
