Dear Marcell Darius/pp7/AjGreen Fanboys.

I was wrong.

They would have been hella good draft picks as well.

Darius is tearing it up in Buff

AJgreen is a machine

and PP7 is looking to be a player on the rise.

This could be one of the better top 5 1st rounds in recent history.

pp7 is only making an impact on special teams.

Yeah, pp7 is getting abused at corner - heard a week or two ago that he has allowed almost all of the passes thrown to the man he was covering to be completed.

Won't be surprised to see Peterson moved to safety in the near future.

3 punt return TDs including a huge one that one the game in OT yesterday. I'd like to see how he develops as a cover corner

It's starting to become every single year now that this board becomes infatuated with an LSU defensive back, to the point where every draft related thread is littered with charlotte observer message board rejects and d-level posters raving about their measurables and shoehorning sizzle phrases like "he's a BEASSSTT!" or "PLAYMAKING GAME-CHANGING DAY ONE STARTER". So far Peterson is still a long way from living up to what 70% of this board projected he would be - shut-down cornerback jesus. In '07 it was the same goddamn thing with Landry, and now it looks like it's going to be Claiborne in 2012.

Unless they can cover a WR for 30 seconds consistently, I don't think a top corner prospect is going to help our lacking pass rush

I said a long time ago that Peterson will be one of the best SS in the league in a few years. I stand by that statement.

    • 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. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
    • I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
