Carolina Panthers sign Quintin Mikell

[xav8tor]

The follow up question, then, is why hasn't he signed with anyone else, yet?

 

As someone pointed out earlier, this deal has been in the works for months and was likely to be an end game probability for both parties.

This whole "getting horny" over a football thing really needs to stop.

Look, I'm getting horny over this and you're not gonna stop me.

i know that hes very good in run support and in the box in general but how is he against the pass? i feel like thats our main concern

[R0CKnR0LLA]

top 5 safety according to PFF stats

 

I'm actually pretty happy with our cornerback group, I thought SS was the one missing piece on D

 

 

this may end up being the #1 defense

Carolina's been talking with him the whole offseason and he wanted to play for Rivera and McD in that philly JJ defense again.. 

 

He also didn't want to do the whole Camp thing.

What those guys said^^^^

[TNPanther]

Fua yes!

 

Top 5 defense for sure, if everyone stays healthy.

I agree, thinking too that he gave his agent a list of teams and Panthers were at the top.  Mind blowing, I know.  Who would want to be a Panther just to work with McDermott? 

 

I am so doubly excited for the game, I can't stand myself.  What to do until Sunday??

 

w00t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Fan01]

He wasn't picked up because...

 

He's a vet and wanted to skip camp.

He's 33.

He already had a deal on the table from the Panthers so why not wait to see if another team will give you more money.  Seasons a week away.  Time to take the best deal.

He wanted more money than teams were willing to pay.

He's 33.

139th it of 163 as per PFF passing coverage grade. Allowed a 76.6 % catch rate and 1 pass defended when targeted and 107.9 QB rating when throwing his way.

Ouch.

Don't suppose you have a breakdown of snaps vs. targets?

I am just glad there is added depth here. DB's are still and iffy group though IMO
