Paradis Film Review

[Untouchable]

Another good article over at The Riot Report. The writer breaks down the prized 2019 free agent signing for the Panthers and sees hope that his play can improve once he's asked to have a more reasonable role.

he stinks

I have no idea why the coaches see him as an upgrade to Larsen.

The Huddle isn't going to like that..and is going to like that at the same time.

They will enjoy the part of the article basically saying "the coaching is bad". 

They will not enjoy the part of the article saying Paradis isn't actually that bad.

As the article shows, we ask Paradis to do things basically no center in the entire NFL is being asked to do, on a regular basis.  And that is directly leading to some of his mishaps.

While he does have some issues, those issues were known before we signed him.  Weaker at run blocking, smaller so power guys can push him back.  Nearly every team in the NFL doesn't have their Center alone in the position we put Paradis in.

What if we are in the “all of the above” category. Why he sux really doesn’t matter. 
 

   I would seriously sit him down and find out how “hurt” he is. If it’s that bad sit him down and get him healthy for next year. Larsen can surely play this good now and gets some more valuable experience. If him getting beaten on a regular Basis and is injury-related(hopefully) then he’s doing us and himself no good at all.

But did you read the article?

I don't need to see the report. He's not good to be nice about it. He has the balance of a toddler to be not nice about it.

I don’t think anyone read the article. It is very surprising that he is ask to cover the edge so much and Is put in so many unfavorable situations.

Good plan.  Don't let things like "facts" cloud your thought process.

Which is odd because it would give people a new weapon in bashing Rivera.

Exactly. I have thought Paradis has been underperforming based off a few highlights, and was surprised a couple weeks back when Turner said Paradis had his best game and has become a leader amongst the group. I admit I based my opinion off a few noticeable plays, but overall I see now that he is doing a lot of good things, and being put in some really tough spots based on what the coaches are asking him to do. That was an extremely informative article with good examples.
