Cut Sherrod Martin

[Wither]

Are we still talking about this?

[Yaboychris28]

We have way too many holes in this D we need to fix before we can even start thinking about replacing Martin

[koolkatluke]

Well I guess if you want to further support my argument, sure. He's great at picking up YAC if there's daylight. You actually watched that highlights reel, right?

He picked up a ton of YAC because he got behind the D and Manning hit him. Not once did he juke a DB out of his shoes, run somebody over, or outrun someone to the corner. THAT WAS MY ARGUMENT.

Martin apparently was hoping Wayne was going to step out of bounds because he had no intention of tackling him despite having the angle. Evidenced by him waving Wayne by for the TD.

Dude let it go you're wrong.

I showed you a list of top 25 WR in YAC

Neither Boldin or Smith (and I love 89#) were up there. Wayne was. No matter how you try to spin it (to make yourself feel better) he makes people miss break tackles and beats the coverage to get YAC. It's not just that 1 way he does it.

I showed you facts please come with something other then your opinion to back up your argument. Or we can just move on.

Well I tried to educate you Koolkat, but some people just don't want to learn. Nevermind.

I guess that your way of saying "I have nothing to back me up and you're right Koolkat".

OR

"Thank for helping me see the light Koolkat".

And I'll take it.

I wouldn't mind seeing Thomas Davis come back as a safety. We drafted him as a safety out of GA and he was a beast at safety for the Panthers. Its his natural weight class, he would have a better chance of staying healthy, and he's got a high football IQ.

It's neither of those.

And then he makes the INT to seal the game, love the irony there. Face it he made a bad play in the open field, it happens to the best of players. If I'm not mistaken he leads or is at least tied for the team lead in INT's.

Martin was drafted as a DB out of Troy, and was moved to FS when we traded Harris back to Chicago, he's a ball hawk. He seems most oput of position when try to position himself to make a big play, vs making the stop (see C.J. Jr's catch last week, it was an overthrow and instead of leveling the WR, he went up and well C.J. Jr is 6'5")

I like Martin, but with no padded practices (well they're limited) our ENTIRE defense has been poor tackling whether it's in open space, or in the hole.

[B.BERSIN]

Its not just one play. Hes been terrible since he has been in Carolina.

Hes not a ball hawk

Hes always late

He cant tackle.

What does he do well?

He will not be cut whatever you say cause you're not Marty.

STOP IT,BITCH

[Mvp2014]

and what wwould cutting him accomplish? Its not like he is on a big contract

[CLTPanther]

lol @ OP

[OchoNueve]

Don't think he needs to be cut, but it was by far one of the most pathetic tackle attempts I have seen this year against Reggie Wayne on his TD.

[panthernation23]

so he couldnt bring down an elite HoF reciever in the open field? so what

sherrod martin is indeed a "ballhawk", you don't cut a guy that can make interceptions on a shitty defense, thats basically our only chance of stopping a team is a turnover.

[Snake]

A lot has been exposed this year on defense and its because its a complex system. Once everyone on the team starts to get it, then you will see the laps in coverage stop. The deference in Fox's defense and Rivera's is night and day.
