From Aaron Wilson...

 

Panthers worked out Harvey Unga, Doug Worthington, Michael Brooks, Richard Clebert, Justice Cunningham, Maurice Hagens

 

Unga's a decent fullback that used to be with the Bears and Jags (I think he scored on us once).  Hagens is a 250 pound back that was previously with the Falcons.  Makes me think we might want someone to temporarily fill Tolbert's role (or at least be a healthy runningback).

 

Cunningham's a tight end who went to South Carolina.  The rest - Worthington, Brooks and Clebert - are all defensive linemen (Brooks went to East Carolina).

 

Also of note: Former Panthers safety Anderson Russell tried out for the Bucs.

 

No OL on the list.  Have to admit I find that surprising.

Sometimes I think Gettleman is trolling us by not at least trying out an offensive tackle

 

I think Getts has the (imo correct) philosophy that an O-line can only be good as a unit when there's continuity amongst the individuals. So if you keep unplugging and plugging various people in the O-line then they will never gel and be effective even if one player might be better individually.

 

Im as frustrated as anyone with our inept o-line but i know what it takes to get it moving in the right direction (as annoying as it is).

Yes, but we have only three tackles. Gary Williams went to IR and was never replaced. I think it's reasonable to expect an OL to be signed to replace him

      We have without question one of the worst QB rooms in the league and your key concern is people having the audacity to be talking about it lol.

      I saw this list crossing the screen waiting for any Panther.  Chubba, JC Horn and Hunt.  It was a crime to see so many that were not as good as these three.  ESPN is garbage anyhow.

      Bingo!  We are on the same page.  Our scouting department was average under Hurney, but at least we hit hit it out of the park with our first rounders.  Our scouting department under Tepper's reign with his revolving doors of HCs and GMs has sucked because the scouts largely stay in place.  One or two may change every few years, but the core philosophy stays in place and I believe that to be heavily RAS influenced.    Looking the part of a football player (physical/athletic measurables) vastly outweighs putting on the tape and deep diving into his stats with our scouting department. Until we change that mindset, this team is doomed. Again, how many of us Huddlers (none of us are professional scouts) wanted McConkey over Legette? Yet, we went with XL.  Why?  RAS score, pure and simple.  If you put on the tape and look at the numbers without taking RAS into account, McConkey was the clear choice.
