Kugzilla definitely looks fat as fug.

 

What exactly is going on with his knee?  I thought he went to IR due to hamstring issues?

 

He looks like an offensive lineman on a bike...no way to gauge whether or not he's overweight from that picture (relatively speaking).

 

And no, he went on IR because of knee issues.  He had surgery on his PCL and MCL.  He might start out on the PUP, but, barring something new popping up,  he should be fine in the long run...health-wise that is, still too early to have any clue about performance.

He can be fat all he wants. If he is quick off the ball, has good feet, and can move other fat men with ease, then he can be as fat as he wants.

For all we know he could be swartzenagger (I know I botched that) underneith a 5 inch layer of fat.

For all we know he could be a really good G but we would never know it. Unless there were injuries in college I don't think this 4th round Hogan falls on Gettleman

I'm not giving G-man a pass on him. He was considered a huge reach in the 4th by virtually everyone. He's a small school guy with awful combine numbers.

Hopefully he gets healthy and proves me wrong, but I sincerely doubt he's an NFL player.

You have a good point, but considered a reach by who? Unless we've seen the draft boards of the actually NFL teams with real scouts and GMs. Just because ESPN guy and NFL network guy or Yahoo guy didn't have a good grade on him doesn't mean he was a reach.

Also, like I said He could be a good G! But we would never know because injuries? How could gettleman predict injuries if they weren't problems in college?

I have some hope that Chandler can be serviceable at LT.  He's got the athleticism, pretty good feet.  There's some tools there to work with.  I'm pretty sure Bell would be an unmitigated disaster at LT (or any position).

 

I really want to see the Canadian get a real shot at RT.

The Canadian looks pretty bad even in OTA's, so I am not sure why u would want that.

      Things like this happen everyday. We live in a social media driven society where loyalty is a foreign concept.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By frankw · Posted

      If you draft a guy who is healthy and has no concerns about that whatsoever and he goes out and tears his ACL in his first few games in the regular season on a physical play that's a freak accident. But when you trade up to draft an RB who is already rehabbing from a recent ACL tear and he spends the next several months continuing his rehab only to tear the same ACL again after less than a handful of regular season carries in a non contact circumstance that is no freak accident. That is a textbook example of why you do not do what we did. Particularly for what is now a plug and play position. And when you have the highest paid OL in the league over the next two years. None of that makes any logical sense. Legitimately it is and was some Scott Fitterer type foolishness. Now as for XL. The guy has not been committed to his craft. I think anyone with eyes on the situation can and would recognize that. However the warning signs were there. One season of legit production raw prospect that we knew would take time to develop etc. But Morgan and Bryce Young's own father were very high on him. I think in some capacity the reality of our limitation at QB is entering into the equation. Even TMac got a lot of flak over the course of his rookie season for not being able to haul in all of Bryce's passes. At the end of the day our fourth year QB also needs to do his part to maximize the talent we have available. As far as this year. Again. WR round 1 boils down to where are we going to get the touches for the rookie? That would require eating into not only our 8th overall picks touches but also our #2 WR whom oh yeah by the way was UNDRAFTED. I am happy to discuss WR prospects here. I was thrilled we invested what we did last year in TMac because it needed to be done and it made sense from all angles. But nowhere is it written in stone that you cannot draft a good or great WR outside of the first round. Except in the Panthers building apparently. That is not a good reflection on our scouts and front office let me tell ya. Because there's no way on this earth we are going to get back to relevancy and legitimate contender status if we can't pick some gems in the later rounds. Simple and plain.
