Panthers sign C Fernando Velasco


El Chingon

Recommended Posts

The Panthers have huge questions at offensive tackle entering training camp, but they added a little depth in the middle of the line Wednesday.

Via Bill Voth of Black and Blue Review, the Panthers have signed center Fernando Velasco. Panthers defensive end Charles Johnson sent out a photo of his former Georgia teammate at the stadium today.

 

Velasco played well for the Steelers last year subbing for the injured Maurkice Pouncey, before tearing his Achilles in Week 13.

If he’s well, he gives the Panthers a solid backup option behind Ryan Kalil, as they didn’t have much experience in the middle.

I know many of you are hurneywashed but just because you sign a talented backup doesn't mean there is somethin wrong with the starter.

Most teams like having good players rather than designating a starter prior to the season even starting and doing everything possible to ensure that he has nothing behind him so there is no "controversy" at the position

Not that one if the best C's in the league has anything to worry about. Some of you are just under the impression that you have to heap piles of crap at the spots labeled "back-up" because likes that's just the way you do things, brah

    • Literally said horrible start actually. Stop trying to argue for argument's sake sir. I'm just stating facts mixed with my interpretations of replays. No emotions involved. That's for women and children. And you don't have to try to make me look bad to prop yourself up. That's immature.  The Cardinals were in man for the last TD to Renfrow. Likely a cover 2 man under, but definitely man under. They were in man under for the pass to Renfrow to put it on the 1 yard line. They were in man under for Renfrow's first TD. They were in man under for Chuba's TD catch, though it was a broken coverage. Looking at the replays, not going off my feelings:( I'm not saying BY was 100% on point. Never did. No QB ever is. EVER. Except for a Jayden Daniels game last year. That was something to behold. I've called Bryce out plenty the last 2 weeks.  WRs were obviously gassed on that final drive though. Can't say I blame them, but they were sucking wind, barely running routes. The only one that looked like he had something left in the tank was Legette. So, at least he's in great shape! But Bryce had given up on him by then. I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes a problem in the locker room by season's end. 
    • Never understand the allegiance to one player. Especially one who’s put 40 ish games of horrible film out. Congrats on the garbage yards guys but I’d rather win games 
    • Defenses are crowding the line of scrimmage and daring BY to go long.  When ever he throws short or behind the los it gets blown up
