From Joe Person's latest.

Coastal Carolina OT Chad Hamilton

Panthers GM Dave Gettleman has shown he’s willing to take a chance on a small-school lineman in a later round. And while Edmund Kugbila has been a bust, it shouldn’t stop the Panthers from scouting Hamilton, a durable player who missed one game in four seasons. Hamilton (6-3, 305) doesn’t have ideal size for a tackle, and could end up at guard in the NFL. But he led Coastal Carolina with 66 knockdowns in 2014, while allowing just two sacks in 443 pass attempts. Hamilton will be one of only two FCS offensive linemen in Indianapolis.

Joe is dead on in that this is the type of player the front office would take a close look at in the past. However...

This is the mentality I want this organization to move away from. Small school offensive linemen who did well against inferior talent. Please please please don't waste a pick on these guys.

Look at norwell. Undrafted maybe because of measurables. However he faced big time competition in college and big ten is mostly power football. It's not a big jump. I'd rather have someone who held up against good competition verse someone who destroyed inferior players. You don't have to work on technique when you're stronger than everyone. No more small school linemen.

Actually, this is where I think the change in scouting services is going to be important.

BLESTO concentrates on game performance rather than measurables. You could figure they would factor level of competition into that formula.

Few people ever seem to talk about that change, but it was made before last year's draft and we had arguably our best rookie class ever.

I actually believe that might have been a more important move than any of us realized at the time.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
