The left tackle's job though is primarily to protect the qb. That is why it is considered a premium position, especially compared to right tackle. We knew when we drafted him he was deficient in pass blocking. So I guess we just hope that somehow he gets better. It's not my money to spend, so I am not going to be too upset if he does get a market setting deal at left tackle. It's entirely a problem of our own making. Since it is such a premium position, top notch left tackles rarely see free agency, older guys, has-beens and never weres mostly.

Being bad has been a very big, huge part of it, but yes, boring too.

Now, now. We still have Camp Crush season to go, and all the unrealistic expectations and unrealized flashes of potential that go with it to influence our better judgements. Don't forget about the preseason being a magical time when dreams come true.

I would be very surprised if Brooks plays at all next season. Considering when it happened, and now being the 2nd to the same knee, he is probably on the shelf next year. But hey, we screwed old Jerruh out of picking him! Davis was, and may be the exception to multiple occurrences of that injury. Different player, different position as well. Eh. Who knows?

I have to give them something for trying. I don't know how successful it will be. There are some warts on all of them. I don't think I care too much for the rb and te choices. Maybe they will surprise. It might be a typical Panthers draft, production for the 1st round pick, not much else downstream. C

I approve of today's selections. Princely might be a little on the lean side, but get him on a NFL strength and conditioning program and it might pay dividends

We had a Cali connection between wr and qb before. Some drink called a Cactus Cooler was involved. I don't think it went so good. Maybe this will be better.

I sure hope Walker is terrible since we get to face him twice a year now on a hated rival.

Of course, but that is being a fan. I wanted defense. We are so terrible and incapable on that side of the ball. I very much believe a team can punch above its weight class with a strong defense. That, coupled with our historic inability to get the wr position right, certainly gives me pause. If he works out..wonderful, great, fabulous. I hope he is our next hof-worthy wr.

Look on the bright side. We can trade him to Dallas for a 4th in a couple of years

I feel like we have drafted this player before, and there is no reason to think this organization suddenly can identify and develop a college wr prospect into a pro player.

By no means should my meh reaction be confused as a defense or endorsement of our pathetic and underwhelming current wide receivers.

Don't love it. Don't hate it. Don't see the need for it though. When you're going on a decade of being poo, I guess it doesn't matter too much anymore.

Ewer would be a wasted pick on this team at this point. So, with that in mind, I'd put it at coinflip chances that it happens.

There has been very little in the way of surprises with the team in a good while. Walker is the pick.

If we stay at 8, and Walker is there, he is the pick.

Cousins will take some work to get a deal done, but it's not completely impossible.

Absolute fuging horror show. No wonder we are terrible.

I don't think there is a buyer, and maybe not at a price that would be too good to turn down.

We would've done the same with a 1st round pick for him, if that's what we had gotten. Same with the rumored 2 firsts for Burns. I am confident we would've found some way to waste it on stupid poo. It's what we do.

Regarding the CMC deal, I think what is most bothersome is we essentially got pennies on the dollar for a premium player. I realize that there is some cold comfort in the Mingo business, and getting something in return for Anderson and Johnson but those 3 players are also examples of some high level dysfunction and failure in the organization.

Worst trades ever. In case you are wondering, yes, it makes the list. It is not the only ranked trade we are involved in either. https://youtu.be/2cBmLSDYMhw?si=gR34wa8FYrScYe9I

Nah, it will be more of a Panthers thing to be dismayed and entertained watching him do his version of the Ickey Shuffle out at left tackle for a while longer, sign him to a stupid value 2nd contract, or just let him walk and have nothing at left tackle and be over a barrel and take whatever turnstile we can find on the open market.

Star-studded qb class to be certain. What position did young Mr. Simms play again? I forget.
