I definitely believe he didn't get a fair amount of playing time. I had this guy as our number two corner behind Gamble, but he rarely saw the field. Now I'm not in the locker room, I don't see what's going on in practice. Perhaps Butler sucked in practice compared to Munnerlyn and the other guys, but on the field he looked a little better than Munny. Just going on the eye test, he should have been a starter.

Sometimes corners just function better in a new system. I don't know enough about Indy's D to know if they play more man or zone or if they're cover 2 or what.

And sometimes it's just a matter of being in the right place at the right time. It would be interesting to see how he rates at FO or PFF.

      Passing yards per game leaders

      I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      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.
