I've said before that he could possibly be a Cordarrelle Patterson or Ty Montgomery RB conversion type. I don't see him as a tight end though.

About as bad of an ideas as having Bryce Young playing center.

B-I-N-G-O. We design to our strength and that is the run. If we had Mahommes or Allen, I promise you we would not lean so hard into the rushing attack.

He is not physical at WR. That would be a disaster.

We already have a roster full of third string TEs.

This whole thing is good but I time set it to start when they shift the subject to fits, schemes, etc. I am really big on continuity and they address that on the way out of this little conversation. It is a lot about the combine at first and Luke is just so good at communicating and smart about stuff, I would listen to him talk about most anything. I watched the whole thing.

Tackle has to be a selection in the first two to three rounds. As does C and LB. Also need to shore up Yosh and go get a true MLB. Edge and TE need to be addressed in free agency.

Yeah the people that go there can’t seem to see it any other way. Everything else is the reason. Pretty sure there is more to bringing in Bevell than just helping Idzik learn to call plays. Maybe he can help to better fit an offense to this player and his skill set. Can only hope because we don’t scare any defense that is good. They don’t respect the pass they way we need them to. If you do happen to burn them once, they don’t adjust. As if it was a fluke. I think they think they are playing the odds.

Yeah the Bevell thing is weird but it’s nice to have his experience for our younger offensive staff. I’m just glad DC isn’t calling plays because that was a lot for him at this point in his career and he wasn’t that good at it honestly.

oh if young isnt a top 10 qb this year its def not on him its the coaching the oline the wrs. the rbs the defense his personal chef anyone but his fault bc he is awesome its the team that sucks. seriously thoigh i am so sick of these articles acting like young had a much improbed year...his qbr went down and his yards per gamd went from 170 to 180 still terrible

Tepper Sports & Entertainment unveils plans for immersive experience center ahead of Bank of America Stadium renovations https://www.panthers.com/news/tepper-sports-entertainment-unveils-plans-for-immersive-experience-center-ahead-of-bank-of-america-stadium-renovations

Isn’t TE considered a lot harder mentally than WR’s for rookies? He barely has the football IQ to stay in bounds as it is. Now double up his playbook with elaborate blocking tasks?

I thought of that too but concluded that his issues would affect him at TE same as WR. If they aren’t solved? Fail at either spot. If they are resolved? He is a WR. But there could be some crossover in how they use him.

I am a little bit for a hybrid approach. BPA relative to positions of need, where if the difference is small between need and straight BPA, go for what you need. If the difference is too big to ignore, you have to accept what you are given and take straight up BPA.

I can see the logic but the glaring issue remains. His hands are not good. I remember when we tried to make Swole Bones a thing at TE. If it were that easy we wouldn't have had such a void at the position over the years.

It either works or, like Sam Cooke said, a change is gonna come

Update: They didn’t stay static with offensive process even with a playoff berth. https://x.com/mike_e_kaye/status/2026374014927552793?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

He can't be any worse of a tight end as he is a wide receiver.. At least tight ends don't have to work the side lines very often

Kaye’s Take: In the rush to blame one or the other, I think the missing thought for most is that maybe it’s BOTH Dave Canales and Bryce Young who aren’t performing consistently well as a tandem partnership together. When it’s great (ATL/DAL), it’s great, but it’s rarely great. Typically, it’s bad (SF/NE/NO) or fine (MIA/NYJ/ATL WK3). If you’re management or ownership, I’m not sure how you can watch these first 12 games and say this is a sustainable workflow. Sure, they’ll probably go and have another big one in the next five games but that’s a 20% firework, not a rocket ship. The #Panthers are a 6-6 slinky of a team because consistency can’t be forged when chemistry is fleeting and fledging. One way or another, there needs to be changes to offensive infrastructure (fwiw that’s life in an NFL offseason anyway). Even if a playoff run happens, the whole point of this slower, thoughtful process (which does have merit) is to not overachieve, accept, and then sink. The team has done a lot of things well behind the scenes and they have generally improved in a lot of areas on the field (defense - talent and coaching, development, rookie class, etc), but you can’t just put your head in the sand https://x.com/mike_e_kaye/status/1993354173640065364?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

Xavior Legette is listed at 6ft 3". Could he be better as a tight end . He is strong enough to block and fast enough to take the top off . He is a physical player and would not be required to know all the passing routes needed by a wide receiver . Just a thought if we lose Tommy Tremble .

Handing off play calling is good. Handing it off to his buddy, I'm not so sure of. But here we are, hope it works.

I am all for BPA this draft. And no trading up. Let the chips fall where they may.

I admit to having a lot of resentment over that. To the point that whether it would help or not didn’t even matter, I was against it. Enough was enough. That still lingers. Watching that defense in 2024 really pissed me off, knowing it was neglected in order to prop him up. After we had already put so much into him. I want nothing to do with another WR drafted in the 1st or 2nd round. Ditto TE. Especially TE. I understood McMillan last year way up at 8 and the defensive value not being there. And it worked out too, but that has to cap it. At 19 we shouldn’t run into a big value gap, taking a guy a couple of slots too early back at 19 won’t have that same impact. Except in some outlier scenario where a top ten guy is way down there. And that better be a LOT.

Also worth noting. The Seahawks were 23rd in OL spending for 2025.

We may not have a choice. I'm sure contract discussions were had and I'd rather lose him than pay him like a high level starting center. He's a good player to have on your roster but he's in that good backup/marginal starter category that usually gets overpaid in free agency as teams clamor to fill gaps.
