What a bad take above. VT is your acc champs!

Another restructuring for Rhule and fitterer to try and save face in 2022 while throwing away cap in future years when we actually need it and may be competitive. Why open up money for a team in 2022 isn't going to the SB...... I get why other teams pulled this when they are inside a competitive window, but we are far from that.

Stood out at the senior bowl correct. This backs up the tape (come on it should though he's way better than the league he played in) and the senior bowl reviews. Grown on him before the combine as a trade down target. Still might be able to do that, but not as far. Great combine performance today. Same with the Central Michigan exchange student lol

Right. I mean it's semi the saints way, but unlike a team that was planning on deep playoff runs, we are killing future cap space for a lost year coming up. If anything, this year and likely next are the smart years to front load contracts.... So if you are better in the future, you have space when you need it

In some ways I hope that Rhule does this. Burn it to the ground so Rhule leaves no doubt he is the fool we all know he is. At this point he is crossing into a deep dark hole anyway with the current roster anyways.......

Christian Watson just won Thursday and maybe the week.... Like wow. Wanted him but unless we trade 6 for someone's full draft 20s back he's gone. Damn want a day. And was great in the drills too. EDIT: RAS. 10.0 https://mobile.twitter.com/MathBomb/status/1499557967175237632?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1499557967175237632|twgr^|twcon^s1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fd-6946542722260756217.ampproject.net%2F2202230359001%2Fframe.html

Crush prior to combine and after: Jelani Woods. His speed popped on tape and at the combine 4.61 at 6'7" and 259. 25 reps at 225. Plus he was super productive this year.

For a no trade draft I'm not mad. Get 2 huge linemen in Neal and Smith. Best 2 run blockers, Smith is a pancake machine that will slide inside at the next level. Added my dark horse QB in Zappe a round later. Most here hope Zappe lasts because there is a void of talent at the QB spot once he's off the board. Fortner is solid, played a lot of G but moved to C for 2021. Think Geoff Hangartner for the older folks in panther nation. Ok starter at best, but great backup for sure with 3 positions he can play, and could nail down a roster spot day one so we don't over spend on a backup level FA. Partial need pick, but very experienced and held up well the last 3 years in the SEC. Considering the other options we have, he could push for the starting role. Now Jelani Woods is a guy imo should shoot up boards. Watched him a few games and he was unstoppable at times for a hug 6'7" the, he moves extremely well. He isn't a bean poll either he's a load that can play in line at the NFL level. Senior bowl got him off on draft simulators, but dude balls. Hs QB that was placed at TE early enough he could blossom year 2 in the NFL. kinda like Logan Thomas but less development required. Also he was a standout at the senior bowl in practice as a larger audience saw a healthy version as well and not a guy playing for a scrub UVA team (where he still put up good #s in a system that spread the ball out). Araiza is everyone's love at punter so nothing more to say on him.

Because of the product we will have on the field, we need something in the stands to make up for it............ So Tepper signs off on giving free beer out for games to anyone in panther gear.

Terrible take

So twfs making sure we knew they were there at the end. Bad zebras

This game should have been the damn SB. Game for the ages.

Lol what. Baby goat was destroyer of worlds after the 1st Q. Just like I thought in my post you quoted lol.

Watching Brady today isn't fair: 3 probowl linemen, Evans, Gio, gronk...... He did have time today for stretches and ate them up. Same in the running game too. Now Winston back there, that team isn't the same, but damn that oline makes him look good at times with a clean pocket.

So telling me the best 2 defensive teams rock the socks off the offensively challenged teams in the playoffs, shocking......... Bills and Bucs have silly good D. And helps both put on a clinic in offense. One has the goat, other team was out for blood. Thinking kc is gonna destroy the Steelers same way. It's down to the other 2 games to give us another good game like the raiders and Bengals.

100% did. Was a damn dude, bye type of handshake/meeting there haha.

Bills finally really have a QB. Crazy they finally found Jim Kelly's replacement after so many years in the wilderness. Josh Allen v Mac Jones, atleast this year no contest.

Oh this hurts considered all the panther links to the Bills.

Don't want Mac Jones twisting any important ankles here in the 4th.......

Seriously, Zimmer is a great fit here as HC or DC. I respect snow for what he did early, but by the end of the year, his guys were gutted by a poo offense and nothing to play for. Idk if he is 100% trash, but Zimmer is no worse and can be HC in waiting. He did have traction for years in Minny. I'm some ways, think they gave up a little too quick, in others that D was no good this year with a rockstar WR, RB, and at times QB, they still could stop people even Sam had traction at the end of the game against that bunch.... He would have a better start on D than in Minny currently, but poo on O here vs that Minny bunch. Think that Minny thinks every year should be playoffs or bust now so he had 0 room for error and we'll here he sits after 2 subpart years looking for work while Rhule is continuing down the shitter......

Oh how I would love to get zim and Spielman here. Be such an upgrade......

For a team needing the next QB: go Steelers. One team that just might be have to trade up to get the QB if we sit at 6.

Lindstrom later (4th or 5th) maybe, not sold he is rugged enough but if he can make all the line calls correctly to get more out of the others, it's worth it. I like OL with lots of snaps/games. Also put a lot on the C when an entire like plays well. Iowa, Wyoming, and ISU all have run the ball really well for 3+ years with the C they have had and rotation of OG OT year in and out. Speaks to the quality of the players yes, but also to the constant C getting guys into the right calls. Now how they do with pass pro that's another story. Didn't dive into that, not how their line did as units in pass pro. Cryder popped on the radar recently. Likely a bigger name and already well known if not playing for Wyoming.

There are a few decent centers in this draft with good experience after Tyler L. Wanting to see what Keegan Cryder does as he's one on my radar later in the draft as it stands in draftnik circles today. 43 consecutive starts for a top rushing team every year he has been there. I get it Wyoming as the school hence waiting to see so post bowl games, but dude has been in the running last 2 years for best C in the nation. Another is Colon Newell from ISU. Another guy that's been on national watch list for best C in the country for a while now and long time starter. Same, want to see him in the senior bowl and the like as well as the combine to see how he stacks up. Another program that could move the ball on the ground. Lost luster during the year, but might be more due to C not getting pub and Tyler L running away as the beast he is. So curious to see him in all the post season stuff. Alec Lindstrom would be another, and LOTS of pedigree there, from dad to brother. He will be a fun one imo to watch. Rated fairly well this season. Might be a touch undersized and average at the point of attack. Did well per pff in pass protect. Center is the cerebral position in the line so even most of the grading likely will be from scouts and teams watching line calls as much as how they held up or pushed the line. Some of that is why I blame the current group on the center. Calls and confused linemen all year, and center is typically the main guy to call out protections along with the QB. Ryan was a bad ass at that and really made a world of difference anytime he was in on both the run game and pass pro. Everyone played better when he was there. So that's gonna be the real find on these guys: who can get the rest of the unit all into the right call to maximize the unit.

For 2 years we have played Moton out of position IMO. I don't get why we have refused to move him to LT, and with the last 2 staffs, likely no good reason at all. He played there when required against the cowboys, before in college, and said it's not a problem for him at all while he's been a Panther...... This is like Jordan Gross, play your best at LT. That's Moton right now, was Gross years ago. And it's not like a good/great RT can't LT........ Plus he is paid to be the best OL of the group and at OT. Play him over there on the left with this sorry bunch we have. It's almost like the Riverian left handed thing stuck for some dumb reason. Now if you can find a better OT, fine keep him on the right. Reason I would pair Brown and Neal is pretty obvious: get the road graders together. Now if you really think Neal is a LT, ready day one like slater, unlike others here, and currently better than Moton, fine, agree stick him at LT and likely Brown right beside him. Again I pair the big road graders together if I absolutely can. Maybe he is more like Sewell and just more comfortable at LT and Moton comfortable only at RT. I get people sceptical of Brown. Same here, but right now I cannot see where he doesn't compete for a job as a road grader with any OG we have currently as they are traffic cones in pass blocking can't be different than Brown if he's another traffic cone. No way was Elf a good OG ever, and Erving is meh at best inside historically and just bad everywhere this year. Plus Jordan and Miller are really really poor as we all have seen too many weeks in a row. So really small bar to cross for any OG. Now if we could grab Norwell back, that's another matter.... With what we currently have at QB and RB, I'd lean heavy on the running game so create/distribute the line to get a dominant aspect. Right now that's CMC, Hubbard and a running Cam, but they need a better run blasting line at the moment if they want to maximize the best part of the team. No line is going to make the QB room so great or fix dropsies or silly route combos. Might get to meh at best next year with new staff, but that QB room isn't bringing in a top 15 passing QB. So own up to it and lean on TOP and a top run game and solid D. That formula plays but it's boring football. Guess Colts, Titans, even the Pats with a rook QB, all wish they had the flashy big passing # offense instead.
