If we had a crystal ball that this would've happened I wonder if we would've signed Cam Erving?

If you just change your signature to: "I have no opinion to offer, but I think yours sucks" then you'll never have to type again.

That could either be awesome (he's good AND ready to go) or uh oh (everyone else just plain sucks).

I'm just hoping for boom or bust. Either be the one or be the one who gets us the one.

It probably seems worse than it really is for Panthers fans because Skye is one of the worst XP kickers in the league, then again his sample size is among the lowest too since we can't score TDs.

Yep.

Well, I mean XPs went from 19 yards to 32 yards. Still a high percentage kick, but not the total gimme it used to be. It used to be 99% plus. Since the change, it's hovering in the 93-94% range.

Misperception. FG make percentage has been trending upward despite the distances also trending upward. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/NFL/kicking.htm

I get that Skye is intriguing because of his huge leg, but the guy has always been wildly inconsistent. I just don't see that getting any better.

Yeah, I was definitely expecting to add a kicker at least as a UDFA and the way we were picking up late round picks a draft pick wouldn't have been surprising, especially since we spent one on a long snapper.

That was one pre-draft hype train that baffled me. There were a lot of Panthers fans wanting him.

Yeah, Nagy is basically looking like Gase 2.0 IMO.

He got injured. He actually came into camp already injured and it got worse leading to surgery. That lingering knee injury probably played a significant role in him going undrafted.

My favorite two QB prospects in this draft were Fields and Wilson and both ended up landing in awful spots. We'll see how that pans out. I don't think Nagy will get a chance to fully ruin Fields though. If he doesn't get his poo together he's probably gonna get fired.

I have about three acres I have to mow currently with another couple in pastureland. I'm gonna expand the pastureland to get down to around an acre or so that I have to mow.

I just hope that when we're looking at the last few spots, particularly at WR, DB, and LB that special teams ability weighs heavily. I'd like to see us largely move past the days of retaining "core special teamers". Ideally those special teamers should largely be developmental guys. I'd like to see us stop burning valuable roster spots on guys like Karl Hankton and Colin Jones if we can.

I have to think that we believe that Tremble will develop into more than just a blocker. He has the physical talent. Maybe we deemed him misused at ND? I don't know.

I very well might be and he may pan out. But one thing I'm definitely not wrong about is that he is definitely not "basically a rookie". If you're buying that line you'll buy oceanfront property in Nebraska.

It was their last veteran resort. I'm starting to think this staff is afraid of rookie QBs.

Let what go? Hilarious mental gymanstics to justify overlooking three years of some of the worst QB play in the NFL over that timespan? What is Rhule supposed to say? "Yeah, we know the guy has sucked. We're hoping he doesn't suck for US."

While we're throwing shade at people who hold a different opinion, what's the logic behind "Sam Darnold is basically a rookie?"

Speaking of divas... you made an alt account to post this? LOL!

The only guy that really makes since here is Trey Lance and if we were hoping for him then we did a VERY good job of keeping that one quiet. Despite him being a hot mock draft item for us awhile, there was no substantiated rumors of us having the slightest interest in him but that doesn't necessarily mean for sure that we didn't. Fields was there. He and Lance were the only two of the top QB prospects who had any chance of being there. Lawrence/Wilson going #1/#2 was a given and had been for awhile.

90s Cowboys you say? We need more

Yeah, I don't really understand the Mac Jones talk. The word immediately out of Senior Bowl week was that Rhule and company liked Jones but not in the 1st round or certainly at least not at #8. Moving on from a physically limited QB in Teddy to draft Mac Jones at #8 would've been nothing short of baffling.
