Ah, my how we forget the receivers they had to start above KB?  Oh none?  Good talk.  Also, Funchess did not start in 2015. LOLZ.  Trai Turner started, because they had no one else at RG.  Andrew Norwell started later on when Amini got hurt.  Amini doesn't get hurt, they don't start Norwell.  This coaching staff loves Vets.  Stop thinking Moton will start.  Rivera and his staff has left little benefit of the doubt anymore.  

Dude, you would argue with a stop sign. Taylor Moton is a 2nd round pick and he will start if he's good enough. I happen to believe he's more than good enough.

Haha.  He'll start if injuries happen.  Other than that, absolutely not.  And don't get agitated because I'm right.

Kinda a bad example since Norwell didn't start until injuries happened.

It doesn't matter. You guys say they never start rookies and it's simply not true at all. They will usually go with experience over a 5th round pick, but you can say that for pretty much every team in the league unless that 5th round pick is clearly head and shoulders better than the veteran.

OK then. Name all the high draft picks that RR has refused to start even though they were clearly better than the veteran. If they're equal, all coaches will go with the veteran experience.

Wow.  What a concept.  The majority of the higher picks aren't better than their Veteran counterparts.  lol.  What a reach.  I would say Funchess but, he wasn't better than Ted Ginn.

He did start Jon Beason over Luke at MLB.  And Luke played very meh at outside LB.  Until Beason got hurt, then Luke started there and never looked back.  That's honestly the only example I need.  Shows you his talent Eval is very meh.  

The rest of th Draft picks have either started out of necessity such as KB, Star, and Cam or still haven't started.  Or sucked complete ass when they did start (Amini).

See you've got nothing.  I'll make it even easier. Name all the draft picks beyond the 3rd round that RR refused to start and who   are starting today. The fact is, every coach in the league is going to go with experience over youth if everything else is equal or even if the young guy is only slightly better. This is not something particular to RR.

I've got nothing?  Are you retarded?  I just gave you the perfect example.  He took four years to start Norman consistently.  And the rest of the lower Draft picks never panned out.  Starting Short and Star were out of necessity (DT was a bad need).  Funchess is finally starting in his third year.  Shaq isn't starting.  Amini was trash when he started.  Vernon Butler also isn't starting.  But, I've got nothing?  Wow.

 

and I've got nothing?  Geez kid.  You ever think of admitting you're wrong for once?  Jesus Christ.  The Huddle sure has some dense people on here.  Actually I'm done with this.  I can't deal with people that think like fairies and have happy thoughts all the time and are completely oblivious to the obvious with this staff and team.  Good day.

Norman was a 5th round pick who didn't start because he wasn't listening to the coaches. Everybody knows that. Vernon Butler has the bad luck to be behind KK and had to deal with injuries, so that one is just common sense. Amini might have been trash, but RR DID start him, so that one is just asinine. Shaq is about the only one that is legit, but he still played a lot of snaps as a rookie and he isn't really a prototypical LBer anyway. TD was a tweener who didn't start as a rookie either.

 

Bottom line... Moton is a hell of a lot better than you seem to think he is and I have provided the evidence to back it up. If that doesn't satisfy you, then you should go to youtube and watch his college reps for yourself. Besides that, he was drafted higher than Williams, who is still a young player himself. There hasn't been a similar situation anybody can point to where RR didn't go with the better player. That's a fact.

Norman started 12 games his rookie season. As did Bell. 

 

 

I feel like RR has started the rookies who deserved to start. He's not the greatest coach of all time or anything, but he gets a bad rap on this one, IMO.

And FTR, Moton reminds me of Jordan Gross as a rookie, in that he's already technically sound and consistent. Moton is definitely  a more powerful run blocker though and THAT'S why I think he should get a shot at starting RT.

It's that thing where it happens once and gets repeated and then perception and not easily accessible  (if not memorable) facts don't exist.

He ain't beating Williams unless injury happens.

 

I have actually seen DW play regular season games in the NFL and he was  pretty good , having another year down will only improve his game

 

You're talking about the same Daryl Williams who couldn't beat Mike Remmers for the starting RT job.

THAT Daryl Williams, right?

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      I realize it about the expectations, but on paper, we drafted players who would have a chance to compete at positions where any could realistically step in and take the job---Freeling?  Yup.  Hunter?  Yup.  Brazzell?  Yup.  It is likely that all three see the field early and often.  Day 3:  Lee?  I see him as the #3 CB and the job is his when they are ready for him--and it is his to lose.  Hecht?  I loved him in mock research and called him the best C in the draft.  He might play a year behind Fortson or he could take the job--regardless, he is the obvious front runner for the 2027 season.  Wheatley?  I see Ransom and Moehrig as basically the same "in the box" type S.  If Wheatley can learn for a season behind Scott, he has the tools to be a serviceable FS, something this team needs.  Finally, Kuwatch seemed to be a PS pick, and he could be--but to win the 4th ILB job, he needs to beat out Bam Morris-Scott and with a 46.5 vertical (I can't do that on the triple jump) and a superior RAS rating, he looks like a special teamer and depth piece.....I forgot about Morgan's comment about giving up the 5th--probably to get ahead of Detroit.  Freeling has the athleticism and the tools to be the best OT in this draft.  The others lacked arm length or something like that--Freeling simply lacks a ton of experience.

      excellent points and insights.  I agree on Tepper.  I guess I worry that his questions and comments might influence the thinking of his employees, that his presence in the room might add pressure to an already stressful situation, but after watching it again, it does not appear to be like that.  Morgan was in charge.  Canales mentioned needing a center, but beyond that, he was there to serve as a consultant, more or less, if asked.  I suppose my point was this--everyone knew their roles, I did not see egos--I saw empowerment.  As for Morgan--I saw a leader that listened to others, made wise decisions, and never lost control.  I was VERY IMPRESSED with Dan Morgan.

      Pretty good summation, although I would caution just a bit that there might be a little of over-enhanced expectations. I do agree with the assessment on BPA. It was exceedingly clear they had a specific shopping list. Early on when there was some discussion about the tackles available, Morgan was asked if he was willing to give up a 5th to get Freeling, if it came to that. I think the only way it wasn't a left tackle with that 1st pick is if none that were valued as a 1st were still available.
