I hope Thompson proves me wrong because he is a Panther now. However, it's disconcerting even if it is one practice without pads.

Maybe I'm just used to getting production right away from first round picks:

Benjamin

Lotulelei

Kuechly

Newton

Reacting. I wouldn't go so far as to say Shaq struggled, but Mayo definitely looked more comfortable, which is understandable as that is his full time position. 

 

 

I really like this Mayo kid. He may take Klein's spot on the roster. 

 

klein tradable?

Has it already been decided shaq will be staying opposite of TD day 1? If so (assuming that's the plan), does it worry anybody that he is now hurt and will miss all of OTAs? It seems like a lot for a kid to expect him to be ready without any real action until training camp?

 

He was going to miss OTAs anyway because of his university being on the quarters system instead of semesters. Every rookie from Washington, Oregon, Oregon State, UCLA, Stanford, Ohio State, and Northwestern are in the same boat. Can't attend OTAs until finals are over and the graduating class commences. For most that's June 12th or 13th. It's a rule between the NCAA and the NFL.

 

Step away from the ledge.

Shaq has been playing WLB for three years. Not sure what the big adjustment he needs to make is on the field. Our defense is pretty vanilla too. Just requires great execution. I'm thinking nerves had a role. He doesn't come across as supremely confident so it may take a little bit for him to be comfortable. Of course him not being around for all of OTAs doesn't help that.

Glad to hear Funchess looked great. He was the pick I liked the least but I'll happily be proved wrong.

Easy on expectations after reading this folks. A LONG way from first week of the NFL. Shaq has plenty of time to get better and Mayo will learn fro one of the best.

 

Don't go easy on getting excited though, we got pigskins being tossed around.

Just saw an alert on my phone from CBS that said Shaq and Funchess struggled today.

 

This may have been asnwered already but they sturggled with conditioning. Shag had a tweaked hammy and Funchess was cramping because of the southern weather.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      In 2025 Sam Darnold had over 1k more passing yards than Bryce Young on 1 less pass attempt. Repeat that to yourself several times and let it sink in. I absolutely love it when people come on here and invoke Sam Darnold like some gotcha. Darnold is the physical prototype for what anyone needs in a franchise QB. All the physical tools. Few people thought he would put it all together on the mental side of the position. He used to make some of the worst decisions you would ever see. At times in the past he made up for that with absurd throws and athleticism. But make no mistake whatsoever no matter how you feel about our starting QB. Bryce Young is a completely opposite conundrum. He lacks virtually any and all physical tools and athleticism and his elite processing is really mediocre at best on a good day and horrific on a bad day. These are realities people should have already been addressing instead of quadrupling down in year four.

      The nice thing about the timing of Bryce's contract at least is that it's going to match up with the 2027 Draft Class. No excuses, he either becomes Rams 2nd half Bryce year long, or we draft his replacement.  Nothing wrong with carrying Bryce on his 5th year expiring and a 1st round rookie waiting in the wings. Let the rookie sit until the trade deadline, deal Bryce to a needy team at the time, profit.

      Yeah they were bad QBs - but QB's that stayed on their teams for several years.  BY is better than all of those.
