Lets Talk Amini

I think people are making a bigger deal of OL than it really is! Do we need some talent upgrade? Yes.

I'm in the minority, but I think our real need is a mauler RT. Bell may get the go ahead nod at LT in the beginning, but I think Chandler gets it within due time!

We need better depth, perhaps veteran depth! There will be many veterans cut come July and August! Seems our yearly offseason worry, generally is not always something to worry over!

Chandler is pretty athletic for a big man! If he pans out at LT, RR is a fugging genius

Just going back and watching. We had some decent push up the middle but teams like the Saints outflanked us and wrapped up the running back for no gain. Maybe some better tackles wouldn't allow that to happen. Maybe a better running back would hit the whole faster. I would love to see us grab a couple Olineman in the draft and see what happens.

From a physical standpoint Amini is incredible (I remember seeing him in training camp stonewalling star).  As he's played and practiced, he's picked up his game at a rapid pace.  Assuming his injury heals fine he should be a quality player for us.

I'll say it again, Amini should be our starting LT.

I don't think he is intelligent enough, athletic enough, or has the technique. Now with the injury I question his durability; he has the strength but he is built to be a gaurd in the NFL, he is built for the run game more so than protection. It is possible could do better than others at LT in our online because we are desperate, but I don't think he is a long term solution.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
