He gets a bad rap because of the SB which was 100% on Ron/Shula not adjusting and getting him help. Dude was great for a waiver wire pickup veteran UDFA.

Idk he got Patrick mahomes beat to hell in a SB too

In a vacuum each of the guard contacts is fine and don't get me wrong I love investing in OL and DL, but I'm not really a fan of paying 2 guards big $. Pay your tackle(s), go younger/cheaper on the interior. But otherwise generally agree 

With a short QB I tend to feel guards are more valuable than tackles.

And the second. Talk about an all time blunder. Fitt should have been fired just as soon as he turned down that offer.

Agreed. Although I would have sent Burns instead of Moore....  I don't understand sending the second best receiver your franchise has ever drafted when your taking a rookie QB.

I thought that last year when we invested so heavily in guards. I was wrong because they sure made a difference.

Hubbard and Brown seem to be worth the money or possibly even bargains.

And Horn, that was a lot of money there, but it probably is just resetting the marketplace and he'll be down the list in the next few weeks. Still, I'm wondering about the balance between the impact he made last season and his availability through his career. It's a roll of the dice and I'm not sure how much is guaranteed. 

 

Glad to see you admit it, I was all for it and pointed it out repeatedly! Lol Last years investment will be even better this year with a season playing together under their belts.

Why wonder we have all seen what will happen twice now   mid season firing and a dumpster

Needless to say the wins need to begin following promptly.

Depends on what kind of draft we have imo. I think our offense gets better this year (if for no other reason the line now has a full season of continuity).

With the additions on defense health pending of course we should be much much better against the run, Brown-Brown-Robison on early downs is gonna be STOUT.  Rosewood and Moerig should help cut down on long runs.

I could see anywhere from 8 to 10 wins if we stay healthy.

I would think this is skewed a bit by having your starting QB, LT, and two WRs on rookie contracts. We probably end up with at least one defensive end in this year's draft class. And Brian Burns plays a premium position, but I'm sure glad we're not paying him the 4th highest salary at his position.

Burns 9 sacks a year were 100% not worth the paycheck he got (not to mention he's not a consistent pass rush but a guy who has an outburst game or two) 

Trading him was the right move they just should have traded him instead of Moore or taken the 2 1sts from the rams.

Yeah, the Horn deal is bananas. He is genuinely not a top 10 player at his position, even when healthy. They are paying him for future performance and, TBH, I don't see it going well.

Let's hope we are all wrong and he uses it as motivation to be the best.

Moehrig is an interesting one. He is really going to have to play well to justify that, IMO.

THIS RIGHT HERE absolutely insane for a guy who hasn't completed a season and had only played in 54% of the games in his CAREER

Truth be told, form afar stats-wise he does seem on miltons level and maybe better against the run.

He's small, there's not other way to said it, others can claim hes not....but how is this guy a replacement for Dbrown or Arob?? He is not and was given all-pro money. 

I have gogglefu him and will report the good- Kyle Long said he was the hardest guy to block 1 vs 1.

He can eat and RIP to teppers million once he orders this-

 

He's got "juice" aka energy, he makes everyone rise theirs.

 

I hate to end on a low note- he torn a ACL in 2022

 

He's got to wreck and win games given his money...... Brandt Tilis has insight with the 5 years he's been watching. 

The Nerd is on watch now.....

 

People have to remember we are a 3-4 base now, average weight for them is around 285 not 310+ like a traditional 4-3 DT, he's also a little on the shorter side (most of the best 3 and five techniques in the last 20 years have been) gives them a lower center of gravity.

Rolling with Aho

I OFFICIALLY HATE THE HORNETS I UNDERED TRAE YOUNG so what do they do? FOUL HIM 11 times in the fourth quarter and he gets 28 points from free throws

It baffles me that so many Panthers fans act like Shaq was a continuation of the Panthers' typically having at least one excellent LB. The guy was a JAG starter that we overdrafted at our position of greatest strength at the time then paid him like the player we hoped he would be rather than the player that he was. He was basically Will Witherspoon. Solid player but not a cornerstone of your defense.

I think Witherspoon was better than Shaq my panthers comp would be 

James Anderson

He's better than anyone on our current roster

Much better, way better sideline to sideline speed in all the rams games I saw than Jewell he stood out always around the ball.

I couldn’t disagree more. To say that 2 ACL tears in b2b years on the same knee is no big deal is insane. If ACL injuries aren’t a big deal, then why did he tear it again? How long will it take for him to trust his knee again? Will he ever? RB’s entire livelihood is making cuts, putting constant strain on their knees during each and every play. RB’s do quick, change of direction movements at a higher rate than any other position. Comparing an OLB to a RB is apples to oranges. There’s no comparison. Plus, TD is an outlier. What he accomplished doesn’t usually happen  

Todd Gurley tore his ACL one time in college, not twice. And that same knee developed severe arthritis (sometimes arthritis is caused by previous trauma to the affected area) which ended his career. He never fully recovered from his knee injuries. Not the best example. 
 

And if Morgan isn’t banking on Brooks, then why only the 1 year contract for Dowdle? Morgan is 100% banking on Brooks in 2026. He’s going to prove to the world that trading up to grab a damaged goods RB wasn’t dumb. Now we get to miss on Skattebo, Neal, Harvey, Hunter, Marks, Judkins, Smith, Sampson, Tuten etc in order to please Dan Morgan’s ego 

Honestly you are welcome to your opinion, it's silly to me.

As for the bolded how often do longer contracts work out with running backs look no further than Sanders had he been a one year deal we wouldn't have had two extra seasons of sunk costs.

And there is the truth of it you are in love with this year's draft class of running backs....

Which I'm gonna point out that we aren't taking a RB in round 1 no matter what so Judkins is out, Jeaty too. 

From rounds 3 and on there is still a good chance we take a back we still only have 3 healthy backs and one is practice squad fodder.

Hampton, Skattebo may well be options.

Final point, YOU put way to much value on running backs.... outside of the top 2-3  in the NFL they are largely plug and play.

Congrats on having a popular opinion.  I love that for you. Doesn’t make all of you correct though. Look back at the Miles Sanders signing thread and see how excited people were. Me personally, I’d rather not bank on a RB coming off back 2 back ACL tears who by the time when he actually plays again, will be almost 3 years since his last meaningful football reps. Two wrongs don’t make a right. It’s a stacked RB class. We should take advantage of it. We’re going to look back and kick ourselves when multiple RB’s from this draft class breakout who we passed on because we were waiting on our damaged goods RB. 

No one is "banking on him" first off Chuba is the bell cow when needed, second miles Sanders running behind the best offensive line in the NFL and coming in behind out awful 2023 line should have been expected (i expected it) even with the eagles he had the worst vision in a rb I've ever seen. VS Dowdle running behind a cowboys line that was 20 spots behind us in run block rating. 

Also it's 2025 dude two ACL tears is doesnt mean squat we had a legendary LB I memba beary that came back from 3 consecutive ACL tears to get 2 all pros and I pro bowls.

A 22 year old with limited carries in college isnt a write off by a long shot.

Heck Gurley tore two ACLS IN COLLEGE.

But yeah no one is banking on anything seeing as we have a durable 26 year bell cow back...

Would’ve rather tried to get a RB in the draft. If for some reason we failed to do so, there still would’ve been plenty of FA RB’s available post draft to spell Chuba.. RB’s hang around the FA market longer than any other position. Morgan would rather be “loyal” to Brooks and prove to people it wasn’t a bad pick, than take advantage of a strong RB class. I don’t agree with Morgan’s strategy, but I rarely do. 

I along with pretty much every one else disagree with you only 2.75m garenteed the draft is rightfully going to focus on defense and it's a bridge to get our 2nd round rb healthy.

Same age as Hekker. Based on what I just read on Bills reddit he's been largely average to below average numbers wise. I assume we'll be looking for a long term solution in the not so distant future.

Now to see who our place kicker will be.

Based on the numbers included in the earlier post I don't see how he's largely average top ten in pretty much all punting metrics.

And dude he's a freaking punter 

The average starting punter is 30.5 years old and most play well until 40.

Wharton is gonna start over Robinson

It's gonna he a rotation, I suspect we will be greatly improved agaist the run *if healthy* knocks on wood. Meaning we get hit with more passing but predictable passing.... leading to more rush opportunities

The lines are looking good and deep.  When could we ever say that about both?

Knocks on wood as saying this, hopefully we can stay healthy on them because that's were you win football games.... 

Our starting 5 on the oline all returning.... hasn't happened in a long time and they were SOLIDLY top 10 by the end of the year I suspect they will be even better this year with even more continuity.... easily could be the best line we have ever had.

I would make him a swing tackle first, reserve guard second.  We have Zavala, who played well.  The OL is set.

Corbett, Mays, Lewis, Hunt, Ekwonu, Moton, Zavala, Christensen, Nijman

I doubt we keep more than nine on the roster, so these hybrids are valuable.  I expect the Panthers to draft a RT to play behind Moton and to take the RT job in a year.

HOWEVER, BC can play RT and at age 29, he could compete for RT.  I wonder if this depth behind Moton prevents the Panthers from drafting a RT this year? 

I hope we did not overpay--no more than $3-4m.

He was better at C than G tbh either way great depth piece as he's always been, serviceable all over the line and played excellent at C when called apon.

In fact he didn't play a single snap at guard last year
