Roman Harper Signs with the Panthers


Recommended Posts

 

What is pretty funny is if you scan through that site ...  you'll find some threads about 89 possibly being a Saint................and most of the Saint fans acting like most of the Panther fans are acting.           Claiming 89 a punk,  a thug, basically a guy that they want nothing to do with their team.           There were a few of those threads before we released 89.

He is pretty good in the box. His coverage skills is about as bad as Mitchell's. The Panthers will offer the best front 7 that Harper has ever played behind.. we'll see how he looks on our defense.

No he's not. DWILL AND Stew have had career days against that defense.

That is no less sexy than how we started last season

I was actually really fond of Mikell and Mitchell certainly had shown promise in camp; it was just a matter of if he could stray away from making the bone-headed mistakes.

Godfrey: Average player, better suited as a situational player but not awful by any means.

Jones: Pure special teams stud

Harper: Hard Hitter, awful in coverage, all around a below average player.

Lester: Has a ton of potential, hopefully he gets his shot.

It should be interesting (notice I didn't say fun) to see how this plays out.

Solid Signing. He sucks in coverage but so did Mitchell.

 

Rivera is smart enough to protect him via scheme and not let him get exposed in coverage.

 

He's a tough run defender, hard hitter, racks up tackles, forced fumbles and sacks. Basically gives you the same production Mitchell did at 18% of the cost.

I like the way you think.

    • When Parcell’s said Bryce better “walk on water”…..the implied concern wasn’t that the tiny QB could survive being hit.  It was acknowledging he would have to be extremely special to overcome the handicaps he would face at this level.  Which he isn’t and can’t.  which isn’t just being hit.  It’s being able to play in an NFL pocket and make NFL throws from it….and that ultimately is Bryce’s problem.  He doesn’t play well from a NFL pocket and can’t make all the throws as needed.  He can’t see as others can.  Which impacts the throws he does and doesn’t take.  It also impacts him bailing and killing plays and turning them into scrambles/dead plays 
    • 9:30 kick off here in Scotland, which is better than the 01:20 early hours of Monday that I feared. Will definitely be watching, but probably wouldn't if it had been 0120 as I need to be up for work at 05:45. Falcons Saints is 6pm on the Sunday so will watch that too if it becomes relevant
    • So much revisionist history around the pre-draft Bryce hype. The media was practically united in saying that if he were a couple inches taller he'd be the perfect prospect and it was just a question of whether he'd hold up in the NFL being that small. The Panthers did not create the mythos around him they were just the team that bought in. The team was largely praised for the move after and for surrounding him with what was considered an all-star coaching staff at the time.  Yeah part of the fanbase wanted Stroud but let's be real, we're coming from an oversized franchise QB who injured himself out the league. There was some analysis here on the limitations of Bryce's game but people were mostly just concerned he was going to turn into dust when he got sacked in the NFL.
