Wondering, since teams really don't have much power in the run game, if it's just better to have more CB's than traditional S's?  Are they just simply a liability, and now it's just better to draft/acquire some Corners who don't mind tackling?

Also, would love to look at the average sizes of the WR's today vs. prior generations.  Size was a MAJOR deal when drafting WR's high back when...not so much these days.  TO, Fitz, Megatron, our very own Key.

There has to be a reason, and it can't be that DC's have forgotten how to use them.  Who knows.

 

Yes, I think you're onto something.  I think that good safeties - more than good linebackers even - are still important for defenses.  But, their skill set is very different now. Explosive passing offenses require different skill sets to defend than primarily rushing offenses and the most gifted pass defenders will naturally end up corners in college rather than safeties.  The enforcers, run defenders of the past just seem less critical and they don't get noticed the way, say, corners might.

I bet you have a T-shirt that says ''Temper those emotions" on it. Play it safe. Got to keep those pesky emotions under control.

 

Have you seen our CB room lately? Do you even know how the guy plays? He's making the team. Which means, he probably sees the field. Exciting times ahead my dude.

A lot of people around here seem to not want to be excited about this team. It’s kinda sad.

They're letting their fear of the past inhibit their excitement for the future. The ol "I've been hurt, so I will quit caring" philosophy. 

 

Or maybe they are just miserable in real life and feel the need to share with the rest of us. lol

Well panthers had a deal were they had one great year, meh one over and over along with couple of 2-14 .... so I get both sides.....rhule years didnt even allow the great/good years.

 

But the NFC south is itself underrated. Same for the rookie lead panthers. This year should be a wild ride. I truly like the roster, just have a brand new staff, systems, and new players. Its sooo hard to get that winner early....who knows tho.

      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. 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...
