Harper is a Solid Signing

[Harris Aballah]

To me, the best part of the signing is his insight to the Saints program. More specifically, the Brees playbook, and situational preferences. He has veteran exp that will help mentor some of the younger guys. he's also familiar with the offenses in our division. So I believe he can be valuable to our program in more ways than just field play.

If he breaks Graham in half I would build him a statue at the Bank.

If Wallace catches that wide open pass over Mitchell's "Naka" coverage then we would have been 11~5 and not division champs.Harper is no better or worse in coverage.RR will scheme to cover his ass.And by the way....be a true Panthers fan and stop the man crush on Smith already. He is living large with no worries. wishing the team bad fortune because of one guy is absurd.

It sucks that Steve Smith is gone and now we have a guy everyone dislikes in Roman Harper, but fact of the matter is, the first time Harper makes a big play, nobody will care what he did to us in the past. I love Smitty, but if he scores a td on us, i will not like his celebrations. Point is, i like this signing. He is sorry in coverage, but will be lethal in the box safety for us, and also he will want some revenge on a team we all hate...the saints.

Brees / Graham will be licking their chops to see Harper in coverage. He has difficulty even covering slow, un-athletic TE's.

Agree that he is better in the box for run support but he is also a liability as a tackler.  Decent as a secondary blitzer.

In NO WAY is he a pro bowl caliber safety.  Was riding the tails of the Saints success when he got voted into pro bowl.

Can someone change the title of this thread to:  Harper is a solid piece of poo.

[heelinfine]

you can pull for players and teams as long as the players are on the team

when that changes is what we are talking a

try n keep up

Agree. I'm a true blue Panther fan first and foremost. If free agency never came to be, we could vest our emotions in our players and our team, but nowdays players are basically just hired guns that are going to go to highest bidder most of the time. I miss the days when your favorite players, for the most part, began and ended their careers with one team.

and yes I hope smitty had 8 TDS and 7 of them by blasting harper.

even hope he plays defense and picks off cam throwing to McOneFoot

Everyone is entritled to their own opinions, but with views such as yours, be prepared to have your panther fandom questioned.

If you really feel this way, wouldn't you be happier with a #89 Ravens jersey?

It is idiots like you that give fans a bad name.

 

You sir are absolutely and definitively NOT a Panthers fan.

 

You ARE the weakest link.....goodbye

he is terrible in coverage, but decent up in the box.  rather let a younger guy develop like Lester and have tried to get Mikel to come back.

he purrrrrs... you know like a pussycat.

Personally, this Saints fan ALWAYS backed up Harper.  Dude plays intense and can lay the wood.  He can get after the quarterback regardless of the stat i saw posted earlier on.  He isn't the best in coverage but I saw plenty of times where someone else blew the coverage and during the live game Harper got blamed for it, he DEFINITELY struggled in 2012 but who on the Saints D didnt.  All in all, loved the guy in run support, not the best in coverage but he aint as bad as certain Saints fan make em out to be.

Interesting the Panthers are still pursuing a safety after agreeing to terms with Roman Harper.

[Mr. Scot]

Signing is official now.

Harper says he signed here because he wanted to 'go to a winner'.
