Matt Paradis

[Basbear]

 Funny this was brought up. Bumped into a old friend that keeps up strength sports and gave his approval. Said hes heard nothing but great things about Paradis in the weight room. Said he attacks the weight room and hes a modern tough guy too. Said he has the perfect mentality for rehabbing injuries. I even asked about the hip injuries, "For a guy like Paradis, no worries" Hes not the type to freely give out complements.

Curious how much action he sees in training camp and the preseason. Did he take a practice rep in minicamp? I seem to remember him not even suiting up

I don't recall minicamp, but I don't think he participated. I hope he gets as many snaps with the retooled line (and QB1) as possible. the sooner they start to gel, the better we'll be.

Lotta people on this board were penciling in Larsen as the starter after Kalil--if you are one of them, you don't watch OL play.  He is a fringe backup. Since then, some have pursued a medical degree and are now diagnosing an injury they know nothing about.  Man, how great it would be to have that kind of intelligence.

I would love to see some real competition for the reserve C spot--Van Roten, Hearne, Johnson--etc. 

To get a good value in free agency, you have to take a risk.  This is that risk.  Am I worried about the OL?  Not as much as last year, but we have too many loose ends now.  Hopefully, by the third preseason game, we will know.

Larsen seemed decent at pass pro, but lost in the run game.

Spiraling downward for the past three seasons in the "Not For Long" league. Not sure what else to tell you. Another losing season this year and he's out. You don't get fired because you're doing too awesome.

they can always fire him, hire somebody to fix his mess, and then bring him back to replace the guy that replaced him

it’s working out for us right?

You're acting like they've been consistent contenders. They haven't made the playoffs since that 2015 Super Bowl and only have 11 combined wins in the last two seasons. They're spiraling downward. Elway will probably be out after another 6 or 7 win season this year.

A GM's specific job description may not be to find a QB but if you don't have a legit QB in today's NFL you're not going anywhere so it might as well be.

I'm not praising Hurney 2.0.

I mean that's all by plan though.    Elway, the Bronocs, and their fans knew they were going "all in" with Manning and getting him weapons.   They won a super bowl and then the rebuild started.    This was known, and expected.   I'm not really defending him or anything just saying, when it comes to that, it was expected.

Whiffing on a 2nd round QB in Osweiler, a 1st round QB in Lynch, and a high prices FA QB in Keenum certainly wasn't part of the expectations. Everyone expects the Flacco reclamation project to fail miserably. Most assume this year's 2nd round QB Drew Lock to bust because, well he's an Elway drafted QB.

Great news for a guy the Panthers signed to be their new long-term center - AND for Cam Newton, who will want to continue to build rapport and rhythm through training camp with only the second fulltime starting center of his NFL career.

Panthers’ C Matt Paradis will be a full go to start camp. No PUP, he is said to have recovered well from off-season injuries.

That settles that. Hopefully he stays healthy and can anchor the line. If he stays healthy it will be another Hurney risk that turns out great.
