Would you rather have Paradis and his 3 year/$27M contract or just be playing Larsen on his 2 year/$4.3M contract?

I honestly don't think we'd see any drop off at all. We didn't when Larsen had to step in for Kalil. Statistically, we were actually better in virtually every offensive category.

Hindsight, sure.

6 months ago? Paradis without batting an eye.  Especially since after 2 years we can cut him.

I disagree.  Paradis is being asked to do much more than most centers because our LG is being asked to help the LT on every play.  Has he been great? No.  But typically Centers get a little help from the guards.  That’s not the case with the LT situation.

He's getting bulled over and physically manhandled in one on one situations. That has nothing to do with who's playing beside him

Forgive me if posted already.

 

Was watching the Rivera presser and when asked about any potential movement with the trade deadline approaching Rivera noted that we have 1 open spot and that Marty has a plan. Not sure if that plan involves a trade— likely not. But it’s fun to speculate. 
 

So who is the 1 guy/position (realistically) you would bring in to right the ship after that atrocity of a game yesterday?

Marty's plan better be retirement. He is what is wrong

That is never a good statement.

He’s probably the last person I’d blame for the debacle. Quite frankly he’s been killing it. On paper anyway.

I thought Tepper would let Marty work through the 2018 season as a courtesy and then he'd be gone.  When that didn't happen I had to re-evaluate.  Thought was Tepper is a super-smart guy and if he's willing to let Marty have another season at the wheel then Marty must be better than many (including myself) have given him credit for.  This does make some sense because all Panthers exec's who worked for Twinkletoes Jer' did so with one hand tied behind their back --- TTJ was the ultimate meddler.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By TD alt · Posted

      Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
