Roman Harper Signs with the Panthers

[CRA]

Was Chase Blackburn actually good? Nope. Did he come in handy most likely against NYG?

Is Harper good? Nope. Will he be of more use than whatever no name would play S for us against NO twice this year? Probably.

No worse than our other Ss

@daringantt: Back from watching the boy-child's baseball team take an 11-2 beating. Saw Panthers signed Roman Harper. Realized 11-2 really not that bad.

Couldn't have said it better.

It happens. I honestly believe a guy like Exum would take his job in training camp or if an injury occurs. It all depends on who we draft.

 

I'm just going to hope that it works out. Hope is all we have right now.

If we draft a safety, Harper likely won't see the field. G-Man is just filling in the holes with what's available.

I think you are half right. Gman brought Harper in to fill a hole. Same thing he did last year. Some holes will be filled through the draft. Some holes will still be there throughout the season. We have to fill out the roster with these type players. Until we are out of cap hellz, and we can draft a few more times. These are the things that you have to do.

Fill holes with available talent, at the price you can pay. We are in this hell for at least another year, maybe two. Whining, harping, and overreacting will not change the facts. We have no fugging money.

We couldn't give Mitchell, or Ginn Jr. the money they wanted. Ignore that fact and hissy on. Or accept the fact, and hope Gman can repeat last year. The choice is yours.

Wow.  Some Panther fans are bitchy.

 

 

It's a good signing..  we have arguably the best front 7 in the NFL.   With one of the best defensive minds in football (Rivera).           Harper will be a solid addition.

i'm trying to find silver lining.

no luck.

Only silver lining is his familiarity with the Saints.

I've followed this site for a few weeks now and wow, most of you lot are unbelievable.

Decent and much needed little signing here.

For just filling holes, Gettleman sure gave him a nice contract. I wish I could suck at my job and still get paid $4.5 mil.

Bingo. I don't know why The Huddle is acting as if Mitchell was an All-Pro talent. I guess winning disguises alot.

Also when you are so horrible at S for years and years...... average guys look good.

Our S situation was poo for years until we signed Mitchell and Mikell. Then we became average and it looked good

He made it to the probowl the year they won the superbowl, albeit as an alternate. You cannot diminish his achievements. Mike Mitchell has never even made the probowl. Lets see how Harper plays with our front seven before we hang him.

Each one of my responses are just that... Diminiishing his achievements.. Which are in the past... Knocking his current ability and wishing him ill will.

Other than blitzing( telegraphing the defense when he is out there) he offers little at this stage in his career.

You are convinently diminishing what Mike Mitchell did here by alot.. Pro bowl be dammed! I put zero stock in your probowl resume.

Slow? Check

Old? Check

Giant Douche? Check

Not a WR? Check

Not an OLinemen? Check

Signed for 1/5th of our available cap? Check

Yup 6/6 on all the criteria for a great signing.

Thanks front office

If nothing else he fills Mitchell's role as an enforcer type. However, I think he'll have to win the job against Lester in camp. Harper is a pure strong safety, so he won't be playing opposite Lester. I don't see this affecting Godfrey one way or the other; he's probably the starting FS as of now.

Only silver lining is his familiarity with the Saints.

and his cheap shots will be against people on other teams. i just hope he has a grudge against the saints now.
