Camp MVP should be taken with a grain of salt. Rivera's MVP last camp was Armanti Edwards who didn't even make it to the halfway point of the season before he was released.

Armanti Edward>Hardy/Alexander= Child please! These guys will actually benefit the team!

Our OTs make Alexander look like the MVP of our team. If that doesn't scare you about our tackle situation, then nothing will.

They did well against our pass rush and Buffalo's pass rush, so I'm not too scared about the situation.

I think that is the name of the award.

The "Armanti Edwards TC MVP Award"

You're not giving Alexander much credit, huh?  Dude has some talent, and that's probably the only reason that Dave Gettleman kept him around notwithstanding Alexander's problems.  If he has finally matured, then there are reasons to think that he will make a similar leap as C.J. and Hardy did when they were working their way up the food chain.  He has shown flashes.

To my eyes Alexander doesn't have CJ's strength, nor Hardy's speed and fluidity. I wouldn't compare him to either of those players. He has good height and size, so that does some work for him, but he doesn't really excel at anything imo. Doesn't mean he can't be a solid contributor to our defense, but I wasn't impressed in the past with his play. The jury is still out of course, and maybe he's made a big leap in play, but I just don't think he has a high ceiling. Time will tell, and R.R has the final say.

It's too small of a sample size to really get a feel for their blocking ability imo. I'm worried, but hoping for the best. If our OT situation tuns out well then we'll be in great shape.

He has played on the same level as many of our players their first two years.  Hardy and Johnson were not blowing up the stat sheet their first two years either.  Alexander plays the run well and does get after the QB.  He has some good athletic ability and has done well in the playing time he was allotted.  CJ had Hardy both struggled early and didn't receive much PT either.  Alexander is coming along just fine if you compare him to where our starters were in year three.  So chill out and watch this DE depth produce this year.

We should have a better idea this week, since the ones will be out there until half-time, or later.  The fact that they're keeping our pass rush at bay, and didn't give up a sack against Buffalo's ones, makes me feel pretty good.  They won't see much tougher pass rushes all season.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
