The guy has been a rock for us this year. By all accounts he was a huge presence in the locker room with his mentorship of the young guys in the secondary. But he's a free agent and there is a capable young safety behind him in Tre Boston who could be a starter next year. What do you do with Roman Harper?

Tre needs to play without committing multiple huge penalties before I can trust him as a starter.  Giving free yardage to that pathetic offense - or putting our pathetic offensive line any closer to our own end zone - was something we could not afford last night.

who knows if they were actually penalties since the only replays we saw were oher and remmers getting beat. I'm skeptical

Until last night, Boston hadn't ever committed a penalty. Your comment makes no sense.

For contrast and to see what a penalized player looks like, Teddy Williams and his penalties: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/W/WillTe00/penalties/

I appreciate what Roman Harper brought to the team during his tenure, but I think Tre is ready for the full time gig next season. Harper's job was to get Tre and the young secondary ready for the NFL, and he did a great job at that. Hes too much of a liability now and Tre is too good for us to bring Roman back.

Sign the one day deal and retire a Saint.

They did show atleast the unsportsmanlike penalty, he slapped the ball out of the guys hand after the play.  Ticky tack, yes, but also a penalty.  As for the other penalties, it's no surprise they didn't show anything, didn't wanna show the NFL in a bad light after their blatant fug up on the first challenge.

Harper's best days are behind him and I don't know that Boston is the answer.  This has nothing to do with the Super Bowl either.  Harper was a liability in pass coverage all year.  However, he was a stopgap and the best option that we had.  Boston still looks like the same player from college ... for every good play there is one that leaves you scratching your head.  Don't like the attitude either. 

It is a necessary upgrade during the offseason and depending on how the situation with Josh works out, it may be our biggest need on defense ... followed closely by DE.

Officials played a major part, used to that though....sucks, can't let them determine a game 

Only way to do that is blow a team out. Not going to happen when your a freshman at the Superbowl. The Refs for what ever reason are destroying this league.

Sadly the NFL is becoming a big joke as NASCAR did. The fun is being sucked from the game and each year the refs get worse.

Funny a lot of people here was pissed off when he signed here.  Good mentor but on the field he was hit or miss.  But overall a good pickup. 

He seemed a lot more solid this year than last (although the stats don't necessarily support this). I say we keep him around if he want's to play (cheap). Worse case scenario, he can add depth and continue to be a mentor.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
