I wouldn't be opposed to cutting ties with both Kalils at seasons end. We are going to need the cap space.

This. Ryan is good, but he's quite overrated. People on here seem to take into account how well his teammates like him when considering his overall talent. It's nice to see we have a competent replacement in waiting. Matt on the other hand shouldn't have even received a phone call from us showing interest.

Is it okay to say that it's too early to tell?

He was also great last year in 5 starts while Kalil was out so while it's probably still a little too early, there is at least a significant track record of very good performance. He's clearly something more than a flash in the pan at this point.

Yeah. Ryan Kalil overrated?

Lmao.

You seriously think a consistently top 5 all-pro center who's clearly the leader of the o-line & makes insane adjustments is overrated.

Some of y'all have been spoiled with him. You think finding that kind of center is easy lol.

This is a what have you done for me lately league. Being consistently top 5 and having prior all pro selections aren't relevant when speaking of current performance. That's some Hurndawg type basis.

 

Whether you agree Kalil is overrated or not, (granted it has been in limited time) Larsen is already doing better. Like I said, he's good, but won't be warranting the money he'll be seeking at his age and with his durability.

Centers are the lowest drafted and the lowest paid of the o-line positions. So obviously the league thinks differently.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      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.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      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.

      a) That they made it a point in the room to point at the paper and say, "hope the camera got that" suggests we really did target the players we wanted and got them. While there is a ton of editing happening to cut out conversations not related to the players we picked, there didn't seem to be a lot of panic about who/what was going on b) Tepper appreciates the analytics. Now that he has a few years to see how the front office team works together to do the analysis, it still looks like he's hands-off (he's learned his lesson??). He seemed less vocal than in previous years' Blueprints (at least, in the edit).  I wouldn't expect Canales to be overly vocal in the draft room - he's likely already made his opinions known behind the scenes about certain players. Draft day is Morgan and Tilis and Eager's day. Loved seeing their interactions/conversations  c) that's all Eager. There's a great piece somewhere about the analytics engine he built floating around somewhere (maybe it was just after the draft?), and how he's constantly tweaking it with info about the players and input from the coaching staff.  That the post-draft press - for the most part - all seem to be overly positive about the draft actions we had compared to other teams makes it seem like we've gotten the ship moving in the right direction. Whether it translates to on-field results, well, that's a different topic for hundreds of other threads
