The Panthers aren’t expected to bring back cornerbacks Charles Tillman, who’s recovering from ACL surgery, and Cortland Finnegan, who was a stopgap during the Super Bowl season.

Don't see why we wouldn't give Finnegan a minimum deal and let him fight for the nickel CB job in camp.

Tillman may not even be ready to play at all next season due to the timing of his injury so that is understandable. He could possibly be available really late in the season if we need an injury replacement assuming he doesn't retire and rehabs hard.

      Agreed on the last part. They can’t afford to lose all these games with Martin and Perets.

      Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
