Guys like Coleman and Harris have had some flash-in-the-pan years, but Bell is legitimately the best safety Carolina has had since Minter retired. That is how poor the safety position has been for this franchise.

I've always thought of Chinn as a 3-4 LB. 

That said, if a team wants to give us a decent receiver for him, I wouldn't mind

Bell is a fantastic signing. Best safety we've had in a while

Weakside ILB in a 3-4 under-type defense might work, but Chinn needs to be in space and I don't know what OLB they'd line up over the weakside tackle. Maybe Burns? Definitely not Luvu. Seems a waste but they won't be in this base front much.

I'm just kinda baffled by it. Everything that has been said about this staff about our defensive scheme led me to believe we wanted to play with two deep safeties. Okay... then why Vonn Bell? Bell is very similar to Jeremy Chinn stylistically.

Yeah, 3-4 LBs are expected to take on a lot more blockers than a 4-3 LB. I honestly just don't see Chinn as a great fit there. I think he's getting traded.

I don't know about traded but he is definitely miscast in a base 3-4. I don't know how anyone looks at that tape of his rookie year and thinks to play him in center field or as a base 3-4 LB. It's just weird how mismanaged he has been.

I'm telling you I would not dismiss the Richardson talk.

I have no idea what to believe. But I do know that you can make a very legit argument that from a pure physical talent perspective he might be the best QB prospect ever. No bullshit.

If you think he has what it takes between the ears, how can you NOT draft him? 

Then again, JaMarcus Russell could throw the ball 90 yards off his knees or some ridiculous poo like that, so yeah...

That's what that Panthers will have to figure out.  I do not spend countless hours watching tape on these guys and I do not watch live games of any college team. But I know an nfl level player when I see one. I can usually tell when someone is the kind of player that his teammates will love and play hard for.  Of the 4 Richardson fits that bill.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
