Panthers host CB

[ncfan]

 

Once upon a time he was one of the better CBs in the NFL.  Id say thought as if not higher than Bradberry.  Dude was the top CB FA when he hit the market.  Got paid then bottomed out

Said in other threads he was a option. Hes no different than most, got his bag and basically quit. Given Rhule wants to be the best 3-13 team and the state of the CBs, he'd be a upgrade even if he isnt ready. Herinay doesnt need to waste draft pick either. In turn he could a comp pick if he plays wells and a team signs him to nice deal.

Not sure he’d be an upgrade or would be worth paying/not letting the young guys play. He’s almost 31, that’s when solid CBs are basically done. Revis was 31 when he hit the wall. Same with Talib. They weren’t the same after 30 and Johnson isn’t nearly as good as those two were as much as I despise Talib. Sanders might be the only CB I remember still being a stud but he hit that wall at 33, still played more but not the stud and again way better.

I’d rather let Pride get more experience and be better 2 years from now than maybe get a little better this year.

He may help with developing some of the younger ones. Whatever.

Hell bring him and Prince in on league minimums.

No way it could possibly hurt.

Did I miss something with Apple? I was in the boat against bringing him in mainly because he’s a bit whacky but is he that bad that he isn’t seeing the field and we are having to fish for another CB?

Yea it seems age hits CBs the hardest, but we have no clue his conditioning. That one CB for the viking played until last year, was 38... Im bugged I dont remember his name. Still pride didnt play poorly at all, but at any point could become shocked toast. I have little to no hope for Djackson or Apple. 

I have seen teams throw fresh WRs at CB to wear on them(mainly go routes), its almost a trend now. If they see you tired, its on.

Pride did not play well. He was way out of position several times. Of course, so was most of our defense, but yeah. 

[t96]

Ehh, why not just roll with the young guys? What does signing him actually do for us? Sure he'll be a slight improvement, but does he really help our team win games/make the playoffs. I don't think so. I mean I wouldn't hate it but just don't see the point

I thought he played well all things consider. No rookie camp, OTAs, weird TC, 4th rounder rookie, didnt get 1st team reps til Apple had injuries etc etc.  Hes wasnt very willing to tackle, but made a couple. Better than I excepted for 1st yr rookie picked in the 4th, honestly he shouldnt be starting but thats on herniay..
