So the Kaaya thing


stirs

Recommended Posts

It seemed sorta left field at the time, but now?  Will coaches try these cast off guys and try to develop them quickly or will we hear an unexpected name at the 2018 draft?  It is becoming evident that Cam will not sign a 3rd contract, so when this one is up, will we have a valid replacement in house?

My favorite would be Rudoph

 

You just never know how the season will play out, but to continue on the knee jerk bandwagon we have going here, just thought I'd drop a few guys in for discussion.  Hopefully, in a few weeks, the Panthers and Cam are back up to speed, but in the light of the current struggles, thought we might speculate a bit.

I do an NFL Draft podcast and we just yesterday did an ep on all the QB prospects for 2018. I don't know the rules about linking stuff here, so I'll be safe and not do it. If you're interested you can look up "UDFA Podcast" on iTunes. It's me an a Bucs fan so the Panthers do get a lot of attention on the show.

I can't even imagine how bad Kaaya would look behind this line. When pressured his mechanics go to sh*t and with Kalil and Williams around...

Goooooooood f'n luck. 

I know

Makes you wonder what they have him doing in practice.  Is he working on mechanics with eye for the future or just going through the motions.

I was under the impression that Kaaya would be Cam's new backup, beginning next season. Haven't seen anything from DA on the field to make me think that he'll be sticking around past 2017.

I wouldn't assume anything at this point.  Hell it wouldn't surprise me if they don't try to trade the kid for a kicker when Gano shits the bed in an important game this season.

I thought we had a pretty decent backup in the preseason.  Maybe not 1st team quality but a total improvement for the 2nd team.

Maybe Kaaya is even better?  Fug it... there's only one way to find out.  I seriously don't want to see DA on the field anymore.  None.

I'm not ready to give up on Cam but having a quality QB to develop is not a bad problem to have, just ask the Packers (Brett/Aaron) or Pats with Jimmy G.

    • It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth 
    • The fact that this is even a discussion is a testament of the level of front office badassery that's going on. 
    • Not always. LT was for the Giants. So was Ray Lewis. Von Miller was moreso than Manning his final year in the season that shall not be named. It's usually the QB, but not always.
