TCU CB Jason Verrett says he will work out for Carolina tomorrow.

 

 
TCU CB Jason Verrett will work out for the Panthers on Friday.
Verrett will undergo shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum shortly after. The 5'9/189 lbs cornerback has displayed excellent skills from the slot and the outside, attacking the catch point thanks to great vision, leaping ability, aggression and closing speed. He would be a great pickup if the Panthers cannot resign Captain Munnerlyn, who thrived as a slot corner and blitzer last year.Mar 6 - 1:10 PM

I just watched his tape on chuck's mock draft thread, and I'm game.  He might be BPA at a position we've needed for years and years and years.  We may go from a great defense to a dominant, all time defense.  I've been on the offense (TE/WR) bandwagon since we drafted Star and KK, but I do like this kid a lot.  Sucks we have to wait til May this year.  Sucks!

What round is he projected for? Very intriguing to me but you know our history with drafting players with injuries... If he's a 2nd or 3rd rounder or later, then I'd say yes please. But I don't want him in the 1st.

"This is a big man's game. I don't care what anybody says. The game's evolving, the style of play's evolving, but it's a big mans's game. Big men win, it's just the way it is. You look at Seattle and they've got heavy bodies up front, their linebackers are a little bit smaller, but that secondary's monstrous. It's a big man's game, don't let anybody tell you any different, and that's what we have to do."

      We have seen Bryce get outplayed by all manner of QBs, from UDFAs to second round picks.  If we actually scouted any QBs it would not be a difficult task to upgrade from Bryce, you guys act like he is even decent. He is one of the worst starters league wide stop making excuses.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
