Panthers bringing in O-lineman for visit

Interior utility type guy. They might believe he's worked his way up to a shot at starting or maybe he's just good depth (probably the latter). Likely a better prospect than Banner, at least.

Where he played his college ball is a plus. Nebraska loves big, road grading linemen.

He has starting experience and is only 26--

Here is my philosophy on free agency, and I am thinking of making my own brand of NFL fortune cookies, with my bits of wisdom tucked within the somewhat stale, lightly-sweetened clam shell of wisdom.

If you pay full price for a brand name star, he usually underperforms the contract.  Some of that is due to the new system and team chemistry/supporting cast.

If you pay discount prices for people entering their primes who possess the skill set the position in your system needs, you often find bargains.

This guy could compete at LG.  Not the only move.

You will be told by a stranger something that will change your mock draft today.

I love bringing in this type of guy. Swing lineman with starting experience? Likely to add solid depth for cheap? About to hit his prime so still has room to improve? Yes please. 

Think of how many OL we release that go on to have long careers with other teams--even pro bowl careers.  Evan Mathis, for example.  They mature later in life and play longer.  This guy has been improving each year---solid depth is the goal, but expect him to compete.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
