GM Dave Gettleman on #Panthers fourth-round pick Tre Boston: "He sets a tone, he's a very physical player.

 

Seems an aggressive backfield is still something we are very much interested in after the departure of Mike Mitchell. Does Boston have the swagger necessary?

Like I said in another thread.  My friend breaths and sleeps UNC.  He said that Boston came in as a highly rated player that never quite panned out.  he said that Boston has decent speed and athleticism, but gives up too many big plays over the top.  He said that there is no way he would have drafted Boston and could have justified taking James Hurst at that pick, and he would have been a lot happier.

Sounds like Deon Grant

I'm just excited cause I feel Rivera and wills can get the best out of any defensive players.

You give them a guy with some "reasons as to why they can make it", and it is not beyond them to make a really good football player.

I swear call be a tard but I feel we have the perfect combo of HC and GM.

We have a GM who has supposedly a good eye for talent, And a HC who at least defensively can get the most out of that talent. That's really exciting to me. Its not name driven, or a popularity contest. We get players in the building one way or another systematically, almost by formula to mold and build what we want to build.

UNC's defense gave up over 240 yards a game to opposing quarterbacks.

Why anyone would draft a member of the Tar Heel's secondary is beyond me.

I don't care if he hits hard because that's not even 50% of the game. Boston can play the run and that is it, if you're relying on him to be a cover safety then you are screwed.

I'm a Carolina fan by the way.

I think he could look very, very bad this preseason. Whether it's because he's raw or not ready for the NFL is undecided, but in college the dude at times looked absolutely lost.

Sure, he can hit hard. But man, he looked straight confused sometimes in coverage.

      At least Rivera got the Super Bowl, and then lost is because he refused to adjust.  Rod’s likely will never get to the Stanley Cup unless the team he coaches is stacked and can overcome Rods weird decisions making.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      We've literally seen him hop around the pocket to survey the field in multiple occurrences. Defenses have this on tape. Cam and QB's like him built the way he was height and strength wise could get by on those natural gifts in their prime. Bryce Young is unequivocally going to have to go above and beyond with his footwork in order to carve out not just a long career but an elite career worthy of a top overall draft selection. We should be able to wholeheartedly agree with one another on that. Intermediate sideline throws without placing the ball out of bounds where the receiver has to contort themselves or make an absurd acrobatic catch for it to be a completion. And yes developing a better chemistry in the deep passing game with his receivers to avoid miscues. Both areas will need to see improvement if the young offense is to develop the way we hope in 2025. And we don't necessarily need to be winning mind you. But development of the supporting cast requires this from Bryce. We have invested a ton of capital in the offensive line. We've invested heavily in WR. We've invested in our backfield. We've invested in TE. We've got a young up and coming offensive minded head coach. The expectation should be for our redzone efficiency to improve significantly. That is not just on Bryce Young. But at the end of the day it will always begin and end with him more often than not. It's always been that way and that's just the nature of the position in this league. And not for nothing but before we drafted Bryce Young nobody was going around here saying we need elite play across the board and top shelf coaching for him to be effective. His biggest selling point was his ability to succeed off script and make something out of nothing. We're certainly going to have to see that come to fruition. Now we wait.
