My bet is Amini. Prepare yourself Cam for a Hurnistic fun time. What ye say? 

I was going to say Cam because he will be running around for his life. Can't believe we didn't go after a single OL player. Has that ever happened in a draft for the Panthers?

Tyler Larsen is our backup center but was originally brought in as a guard. Moton was a 2nd rounder we traded up for. I hope he wins it otherwise he’s more of a wasted pick than Butler was since Butler at least plays some snaps and is in the rotation.We won 3 games and aside from one play I don’t think anyone can point out Amini playing terrible.

Before I read the responses to this question and answer, I want to share my opinion.

Moton, unless he takes LT from Matty Nice. However, I think Ron wants to prove that he has an eye for talent (He fell in love with Silatolu and pushed for him to be drafted).  There is something there he crushes on.  

But I think Wharton will chime in if nobody else does.  Hey, and for all I know, Moton sucks and is not the best.  I think it is a mistake to throw scraps at the stove and hope a steak dinner emerges.  If you want to know how bad Matt Kalil really is, put a weak G beside him. Then by game 3, Ryan's neck starts kinking and he stands on the sideline watching Larsen do his job while he collects $750K per week.

When Ragnow was drafted ahead of us--a player we loved--we moved on.  I think we decided that Moton would play G and Kalil would play T for another year-

Rivera shouldn't be allowed to finish the season if he replaces a All pro guard with amini and it results in losses or offense regress.

Hell, last year, in a playoff run, he (MH--but he approved it) traded his #1 WR for a third round draft pick.  Then we got hammered because Cam had no weapons in the playoffs.  Remember that Kaelin Clay drop?  What might have been...

As I recall, it wasn't Ron who pushed for Amini.  It was Rob Chudzinski.

Amini is probably Riveras 2nd favorite player behind Stewart from last season .. I'm guessing he starts , with Sirles and Moton stepping in if Amini  is bad out of the gates

What Rivera SHOULD do is have an open competition in training camp and the pre season and make the best man win the job, since we def do have a number of bodies . 

The thing is , I doubt we even need a world beating LG. Whats more important is LT and C, if the Kalil brothers poo the bed again this season it wont even matter who is at LG. Our line looked horrenduous for much of the first 1/2 of the season last year when Norwell was in there.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
