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."

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
