Amini has a torn meniscus

I guess it's the drafting of two LBs in the draft and zero lineman that kinda sticks in my craw too.  It's clear which is more of the position of need.  We certainly didn't lose an All Pro linebacker to free agency like we did on the OL.

Hey, we needed WRs and I have no complaint about drafting Moore, etc., but it's as if they went all in on WRs in free agency at the expense of the OL.  They wanted to bring in guys that can stretch the field, but I just don't know if there are enough quality lineman on the roster to make that happen.

Do I need to remind anyone that it took a slew of injuries, including Amini getting injured in 2014, for Norwell to get a chance to start? Maybe a blessing in disguise. We know what that dude can do, let's hope someone else can step up the way Norwell did.

I hear ya on the drafting of Carter and Smith, but I'm not sure how much difference there really is between a 7th round pick and an UDFA (I know Carter went late in the 5th, but even then...)

For example, If we thought there were 20 guards that were all in the same tier (that were still available 5th round and later), it makes sense to just draft who we thought was BPA (regardless of position) and then grab the hog mollies post draft as we did with Mahon.  But hey, just my humble opinion.  We'll definitely be paying close attention to cuts here shortly.

      Canales handing over playcalling duties

      Update: They didn’t stay static with offensive process even with a playoff berth. https://x.com/mike_e_kaye/status/2026374014927552793?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

      He can't be any worse of a tight end as he is a wide receiver..    At least tight ends don't have to work the side lines very often

      Kaye’s Take: In the rush to blame one or the other, I think the missing thought for most is that maybe it’s BOTH Dave Canales and Bryce Young who aren’t performing consistently well as a tandem partnership together. When it’s great (ATL/DAL), it’s great, but it’s rarely great. Typically, it’s bad (SF/NE/NO) or fine (MIA/NYJ/ATL WK3). If you’re management or ownership, I’m not sure how you can watch these first 12 games and say this is a sustainable workflow. Sure, they’ll probably go and have another big one in the next five games but that’s a 20% firework, not a rocket ship. The #Panthers are a 6-6 slinky of a team because consistency can’t be forged when chemistry is fleeting and fledging. One way or another, there needs to be changes to offensive infrastructure (fwiw that’s life in an NFL offseason anyway). Even if a playoff run happens, the whole point of this slower, thoughtful process (which does have merit) is to not overachieve, accept, and then sink. The team has done a lot of things well behind the scenes and they have generally improved in a lot of areas on the field (defense - talent and coaching, development, rookie class, etc), but you can’t just put your head in the sand https://x.com/mike_e_kaye/status/1993354173640065364?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA
