Round 6 Pick 189: Amaré Barno, EDGE, Virginia Tech
LinvilleGorge replied to Icege's topic in Carolina Panthers
Not sure what you're talking about. I've always hammered the Panthers about how the TD, Beason, and Cam injury situations were handled. -

You asked. I answered. You were real cocky with you "I'll wait..." Now you're just spamming excuses. -

The flaws of PFF. That was pretty close to the completion percentage he allowed. -

Really not understanding that comp at all. -
Round 6 Pick 189: Amaré Barno, EDGE, Virginia Tech
LinvilleGorge replied to Icege's topic in Carolina Panthers
You asked. I answered. I could've talked about TD's ACLs, Beason put on the field with a duct taped together ACchilles, Cam playing with a torn rotator cuff in his throwing shoulder on a team out of the playoff race. There's ton of examples. -

I just don't really care for the pick. That's all. Glad you like it. -

https://larrybrownsports.com/football/former-panther-graham-gano-calls-out-mishandling-injury/585838 Giants kicker Graham Gano, who was with Carolina from 2012 to 2019, called out the Panthers this week for mishandling an injury he suffered in 2018. Gano says that the team misdiagnosed a left leg injury that ultimately cost him the entire 2019 campaign. “It was potentially career-ending,” said Gano, per Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. “That whole thing was mismanaged. They told me I had one injury when it was actually a lot worse than that. What really needed to be fixed wasn’t. I shouldn’t have missed the full season I did. But there’s no changing it now, so I’m just thankful to be playing here [in New York].” The former Pro Bowler suffered a fractured left femur and did not recover until he underwent knee surgery in 2019 after getting a second opinion at New York’s Hospital for Special Surgery. Gano also says that his departure from the Panthers was frustrating because they cut him without giving him a chance to kick again after he got healthy. -
Round 4 Pick 120: Brandon Smith, LB, Penn State

He has some intriguing traits for sure. My concern is just that his biggest weakness is very easily exploited by modern NFL offenses. Maybe he can develop there. We'll see. But if you put LBs who can't cover on the field in today's NFL, you're going to get eaten up by TEs, RBs out of the backfield, and slot WRs across the middle. They're going to isolate him and go to work. -

Oh, we're going to get one of those now? That's by far the most exciting news of the off-season! -
Round 4 Pick 120: Brandon Smith, LB, Penn State
LinvilleGorge replied to Icege's topic in Carolina Panthers
This isn't your father's NFL. If you can't cover or rush the passer at LB you're going to struggle to get on the field. The old school thumping run stoppers have been getting phased out for over a decade now. -
Yeah, I think he's going into a good roster situation with Wentz being cuttable after this season not to mention fragile. We're a tough situation for a rookie QB to walk into with our staffing situation. It was past time for us to part ways with Ron but for all his flaws Matt Rhule makes Ron Rivera look like Vince Lombardi in comparison.

Round 4 Pick 120: Brandon Smith, LB, Penn State
LinvilleGorge replied to Icege's topic in Carolina Panthers
Did not like this pick. Yes, he has great measurables but he absolutely CANNOT cover. He allowed a 75% completion rate in coverage. That's insane. He must not have made any plays on the ball. Hell, 25% of the time it's going to be a bad throw, a throw impacted by the pass rush, or a dropped ball. -
