i was wrong about TE Dickson, you look the thread up when we signed him and i was doing cartwheels. But look at the reaction to the Panthers signing Cason. Everybody acting like it's a grand slam greatest thing ever. Gettlemanjack shows up on page 6 with facts showing the dude ain't near as good as you think....

Did you just refer to yourself in the 3rd person? Jesus, just when I thought you couldn't possibly be more of a douche on this thread...

You don't trust g'jacks favorite media member tweets over the eye of Dave Gettleman and Matsko?

 

What kind of horrible monster are you?

 

When you put it that way, I must reflect.  I mean, G'jack has more posts than Matsko and Gettlemen combined.  He has more pie.  He must know more than those two newbs.

I don't know enough about his play (other than what other people have written) to know if he's starting material or not. Sounds like he's more of a RT than LT so maybe he's competition for Remmers. Either way I'm excited that he's not Bell, don't care what PFF said, no one can be worse than Bell.

So you take out the weakest link and replace it with a stronger one, and see how the unit performs. Why does it seem like you have a problem with that?

A bunch of posters are acting like there's a bunch of All-Pro OTs available for the picking. It's as if they haven't actually looked at the FA OT market and seen that it's incredibly slim pickings. Out of the OTs that got paid good money in FA last year, plenty flopped because they were overpaid by desperate teams. We don't want to be one of those teams. We were interested in Oher last year but the Titans offered him a stupid contract.

Oher is only 28, that's a very good signing. We could actually have an OL next year. Hopefully Cam can make use of it and stop sailing his passes. I hope that dude is working on his mechanic this offseason.

He looked better than ever throwing the ball early in the season last year, then the hits started to take their toll. If we'll actually protect the guy, I think we'll see him make major strides as a pure passer.

      Panthers Top 30 Visits and Draft Tracker

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I appreciate the honesty in your posts--I am not sure Canales is rusing(?) because I don't think we are good enough yet to draft players for depth on day 1.  I do think we are in limbo, fwiw.  At 19, I think you are drafting second rounders in the first.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By strato · Posted

      We are in a unique situation here. Just my opinion. Three things: Moton’s playing health has been gradually declining as he is aging, while his contract is a drag on the payroll.  Something will give with him sooner than later but I think 2026 could be it.  So.. need a right tackle by 2027. At the latest.    Icky’s individual situation is unique as well. They would have had an extension done by now if not for the injury. We only have him for this year. With no assurance he will ever be the same player.  It would be reckless just to assume. Now we have Walker for one year. And that is a major relief. Maybe he is the answer, but the team that knows him best let him go and it was cheap for us to sign him. So how much did they value him?    We look to be needing two tackles by 2027.  And have poo for depth this year as well. So anyway we could draft a guy for 2027 RT and groom him this year, and see how Icky does, and act as needed in 2027. Spread out filling the two holes over 2 years.    Then I remember, hey if Bryce doesn’t get a Lot more consistent do they extend him? Hoping not, if he isn’t really good.    So then we are looking at the 2027 draft which people say is gonna be loaded with QBs. If we need a LT and a QB what is the pick gonna get spent on?   Taking into account the recovery success rates cited here on the Icky surgery, you might want to plan for him to not be the same player. rather than assume he will be and get caught with your pants down.  It is a tough situation.    And factor in that it is critically important to protect this QB, always, but especially this year where it is said to be make or break. And how you might feel about that.    All of it points to a real possibility that these things converge in the negative, like Bruce sucks and Icky is not the same. In that case if you want to be assured of getting LT secured, the only place you can do that through the draft could be very well be 2026 1st round.     For me, I would like to err on the side of caution.  Cover for these outcomes. It wouldn’t be fun. Added benefit is if we do have a tackle go down this year we will have a guy there. Because I don’t know what we have now.

      Mike Kaye: “I would keep a pretty close eye on {KC Concepcion}.”

      I agree. In a perfect world I wouldn’t want to draft another WR, but in this draft it’s fine based on the value of who will be there at #19.  All of the top tier guys worth pick #19 at other positions of need will be long gone. Only exception is Dillon Thieneman, but he’s almost a shoe in for the Vikings as the Harrison Smith replacement. Some posters on here want to draft an OT just to check a box without realizing the concerns and risk that comes along with said player. Sounds like XL to me… desperately drafting need… KC is a pretty safe player.  Produced all 3 years in college and last year in the SEC vs a lot of top corners in this years draft. He single handily dropped the South Carolina CB Brandon Cisse’s draft stock with how bad he abused him.   Sometimes it’s best to try and hit a double instead of going for the home run. This draft screams “go for the double”. Esp in the first.
