Lost in all the burns hype, I haven't seen many thoughts on how little performed. I am not the best at dissecting lineman play during a live broadcast and haven't gotten to rewatch the game so does any have any thoughts.. a bit curious how the late round swingman looked as well..

He took some time to settle in. If you went only by what you heard on here you'd think he played awful. he looked just like a rookie playing in their first NFL action on the hardest spot on the OL... had a few bad plays and looked fine on others. I think he gets there, just needs reps and coaching

Work in progress at best right now. He's gotta get more reps, one game isn't enough of a sample size. Fans kind of have to be realistic and realize how difficult it is to draft all pro tackles right out of the gate. Suck to hear that, but it's the truth looking at drafts the last several years. But after unloading an albatross contract on the OL we had a need and we needed to make a move. Hopefully it pans out when he has more playing time under his belt.

i counted about 2-3 bad pass sets over the course of the game. Bears got him and Daley with a couple surprise blitzes. overall he looked like he did in his Ole Miss tape, which is encouraging. the NFL is definitely not too big for him. just got to continue developing.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
