Marty impressed with new guard

Marty appears big on UDFA guard Mahon.

 

From the observer...

“That’s my guy,” says Carolina general manager Marty Hurney, who watched Mahon on tape and attended one game to scout him live. “He just has that look in his eye. He’s physical. He’s got a chance.”

 

Panthers desperately need one of these UDFA guards to make the team.

This is exactly what I called when I looked at tape of our UDFA's.  Guy was meh as a tackle but mostly because he struggled with speed rushers.  On the other hand, in the run game, the guy was a mauler and loved contact.  If taken off the edge and just allowed to maul, I think he can be a pretty good guard.  Until I see him with contact, I won't make it a lock, but I do think he has a very good chance to be a decent guard for us.

This is what they said about Norwell.

Scrolled down real fast so I could not see the name---I am going with the G from Penn St.   My second choice is the G from Clemson.  Now I am hitting "Submit reply" and going to scroll up.

 

Good call, self.  I have watched a game or two on youtube and was impressed.  This guy will start in the NFL before some of our draft picks do.

    • in starts, he has played better, been more efficient and outproduced Bryce by virtually every statistical metric that exists in 2025.  And has the 2 head to heads over Carolina.  I mean, your jaw should hit the floor.  But not for the reason you are implying.  That freaking stings.  Denying these realities isn't going to help the Panthers build a better team going forward.     
    • He is basically having a polar opposite rookie season than Bryce. 4-3 as a starter on a very bad team.  68% for 237 passing yards and 19 rush per game. 9 TDs,  6 TOs in his starts.  and folks acknowledge the surprisingly play because no one thought poo of the random 2nd rounder and he is player better as a rookie thus far than so many prized picks did as a rookies (not just Bryce but a boatload of dudes).   It's only a sour issue to give someone props because he is a Saint and of course the Bryce thing.  It's like giving the TE in Clev props for having near identical production as the chosen one Tyler Warren.  Fannin is having a great rookie season in a very bad spot. 
    • This is a very weird take. The reason Shough doesn't deserve it is because he's only started 7 games. He's doing crazy well for a rookie and out playing plenty of vets with a worse roster. He's waaay above league average in a number of categories during his starts and he passes the eye test in game by making plays. Meanwhile Bryce Young had one of the worst rookie seasons of all time. Still TMac deserves it more. It's only been 7 games for Shough so he doesn't deserve any awards. Even if he gets to 9 he doesn't.
