Was listening to the talking heads on NFL AM this morning talk about Mariota and how the criticism against him was unwarranted. Then the subject of Cam came up since I guess there are some similarities and the guys started talking about how Mariota could have the same success Cam had. What do you guys think?

Marriota's success will heavily depend on the team and scheme that he gets drafted into.

The guy does not have a strong arm.

Put him in Philly and he will light it up. Put him in a more vertical offense and he will be mediocre.

I agree. I don't know anything about his arm but his rookie success will largely be a product of his team on offense. He may or may not win but his numbers will depend on the team...WRs, Oline, running game, scheme.

I think people forget that what make's Cam special is not just his ability to get out of the pocket. Cam's combination of speed, size, and strength made him a TERROR his first couple of years. He can elude the pass rush and then run your DB over.

 

Great threat at the goal line QB ever. Now if we can just get Shula to stop the dumb play calling...

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
