instead they tried to reinvent the wheel and play him like he was Earl Thomas

they should have went the Thomas Davis route and bulked Chinn 10-15 pounds and convert him full time into a OLB, but obviously Chinn wouldn't work in Evero's 3-4

Could not agree more, he has the frame to add LB bulk. His biggest strength is playing near the LOS, great pursuit and closing speed. Man, it pains me that we let him go entering his prime, he signed a 1 year 4 mill contract. Ian Thomas, Shy Tuttle, Ashawn Robinson, Miles Sanders,  Josh Yijiam, etc so many over paid players and we don’t pay young talent.

He ain't singing another 1 year $4M deal. He needed to get out of here to show what he could do and he has. Now clue about the Commander's cap situation but they should lock him up.

We seemingly couldn't figure out how to use Chinn here. 

We tried keeping Luvu but he chose Washington over us.

 

They both left due to ineptness, correct.

Man watching this Thursday night game seeing Luvu and Chinn making plays constantly hurts. Honestly I have zero idea why we let both of them walk.

MF IAN THOMAS MAKES MORE THEN CHINN

Luvu was smart to take the largest contract he could.

Chinn regressed year over year.

Chinn’s current stats are in line with his stats with Panthers before Evero arrived, and yes he regressed from his rookie year where he looked like a game changer. He is not putting up drastically different numbers now he just looks better on a winning team. We were all disappointed with his development even prior to Evero but he was definitely a misfit in the 3-4 defense.

They gave up 434 yards of offense 26 points and an L last night to a very up and down Eagles team.

Because Chinn Is not a God Damn Free Safety! He is a Strong Safety/LB and none of our coaches could figure that out.

Panthers coaches over the years have been notorious for their “square peg, round hole” approach to player development.  Chinn could’ve been really good in LB/S hybrid role here but we blew it. Both deserve the success they’re having in DC.

This ^ I never understood the dumbassery of playing him @ FS with his noted struggles in coverage. Why we stopped using him in the LB/S role he had under Snow is anyone’s guess.

[Gapanthersfan]

The recipe over the last 5 years:

1. draft a guy with high athletic ability at a position of need. 

2. play him out of his natural position because you have a big hole to fill.

3. watch him struggle. 

4. let a young and promising talent grow depressed and apathetic because a God forsaken franchise is ruining what he has busted his ass his entire life to achieve. 

The only reason Luke moved to the middle was because Beason got hurt. Think about that.

It’s complete arrogance of the coaching staff to tell a player where he’s better suited… or the mark of a desperate team who drafts out of need. 
 

This is what happens to teams that draft poorly and have no depth. Constantly working from behind and drafting for need.

I was stating what he signed this offseason not what he is worth going forward?

I get that. I meant that he needed to get the hell away from here and Evero to prove his worth.

Evero isn't nearly as good as some around here think. Playing Chinn at FS was a giant red flag. Dude took over a good D and it regressed while here he hasn't built anything for the next guy worth trying to prop up or anything much to blow up either. He is a jag coach and little more.
