There was many a comment of 'I will be happy if he's average' on these forums. The bar was set extremely low for MK's expectations. Somehow he has passed underneath it. Maybe he should take up limbo?

And I'm pretty sure he's given up 6 so far so he's on track to equal his epic 2014.

Jeez!!........He's more worried about his foot work than getting his hands in the guys chest. What is up with the whole patty cake thing?? And all of our linemen look like they know absolutely nothing about leverage. Tell me again why we picked this softy up??......He has ZERO attitude. Sometimes you just need the mindset of, "I'm going to line up here and punch you right in the mouth"....Where is the nastiness on this O-line?? Just looks like a bunch of guys that are scared they're going to mess up.....Get your freaking hands on the other guys numbers AT LEAST!!

Watch Hurney try and pry him away from the Cowboys.

At least Mike Remmers can handle power and most rushers that aren't elite. 

Matt Kalil flops against anyone that can out-push him.

That probably includes a tackling sled, someone's grandma and a gust of wind.

The worst possible outcome I had about the Kalil brothers is coming true; the good one can't play and the other one is awful. I had at least hoped our experience last season with a constantly shuffling O-line would've had us more ready for contingencies. That might've been overly optimistic.

He's trash. I understand why we signed him since he's relatively young and plays a position of huge need and importance (and his brother is our long-time center), but we botched this one. We should've gone all in on Whitworth to secure the sure thing. I understand trying to find a guy who could protect Cam's blindside through his prime years, but rolling the dice in a  big way on a reclamation project with an elite, but aging option available. Eh... wasn't a fan of it at the time and unfortunately it's looked like most of us feared it would look. But hey, at least Ryan got Matt paid.

      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.
