Panthers cut Cox, Byrd, Scifres, and Robinson. Move Johnson to PUP.

I am going to make a bold prediction.....I see the Panthers bringing in DE Quinton Coples. Despite the fact that he is from my hometown, despite the fact we attended the same high school, despite the fact that we were teammates until his Senior year when he left Kinston High School and went to Hargrave Military Academy, Despite the fact that his mom was my bus driver in high school, this prediction is based solely off of the fact that the stars seem to be aligning. Ted GInn, Mike Mitchell, Micheal Oher, Kurt Coleman, Charles Tillman, Cortland Finnegan, Jared Allen, Ed Dickson, Jerricho Cotchery, and Stephen Hill. Quinton Coples falls into this category. Considered to be a veteran, not very pricey, over looked because of past statistics, situations, and can fill a need at a bargain price. I believe what messed his career up was going from a 4-3 DE in college to a 3-4 with Rex Ryan. Those are valuable years lost as it relates to learning your trade, because he could not just peel his ears back and worry about disrupting the line of scrimmage from a DE spot. I think I see this happening. We shopping at Tiffany's not Armani's


I hope you are right, I think we could use a little more pressure from the edge.

    • 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...
    • 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
