Just curious if we are still on the he is a bust and should be a nickel only guy? He's a rare athlete... one of the fastest guys in the league. That pays dividends when he does pick a pass off. He's had one in back to back weeks and when he does the field position switches drastically... stock is trending up...

He’s really inconsistent and injury prone. 

This. I still don't know what to make of him ultimately. I'm not so sure that his skill set wouldn't be best served as a roaming deep FS where his best traits (speed, range, and ball skills) would be best served while limiting his biggest weakness (aversion to contact).

he is a track star who cannot body up on people but has a knack for big plays

that's what he is

like people are bitching at him about the tampa game but what the hell was he supposed to do against Mike Evans? Next time you're playing basketball at the Y, go defend the guy that has six inches and 75 pounds on you in the post. See how that goes.

Seems to me he doesn't hate contact when he sees the wr catch the ball in front of him and he flies up to hit them in the back and then flex like he made the play of the year lol.

This... your putting him in a position to loose. I know he's probably the best corner we have but asking him to play against that monster with his skillet just isn't good for the team. Yes he's faster than him but Evans doesn't win with speed so it doesn't matter.

      Passing yards per game leaders

      I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/

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

      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.
