For some reason the Titans did not pick up the 5th year option on the former #8 OVR draft pick ...

First Team All-Pro as a rookie in '16

57 Games Started in 4 seasons including all 16 this season

Will be 26 in August. This man is about as sure a thing at Tackle as you're going to get and I would have no problem if Hurney and Tepper had the Brinks Truck back-up into Conklin's driveway.

Signing Conklin  stabilizes one of the Tackle positions for five years. Set it and forget it. He's been mostly a RT - who knows if we would try him out at LT .. he played LT in college ..

What a big boost this guy would give our offensive line. We're so down and depressed about the state of our offensive line but we sign this guy and wow it looks a whole lot better.

He has had one decent year which was this year, been terrible other than that, that is why they didnt pick up his option. Also we already have a RT in Moton. Conklin can't come close to playing Left

He was a First-Team All-Pro his rookie season ..

He only played 9 games last season which was when they had to make the decision on his option - they decided not to pick it up and Conklin played well this season in all 16 games ...

Guy is as sure a thing as you can get. fug drafting a OT at #7  .. this guy was taken #8 in 2016 and has lived up to where he was drafted.

Has been a very reliable pro.

As much as I want and we need a OT, please no more Matt Kalil types. I'd rather have a Bryan Bulaga or Anthony Constanzo if we decide to move on an OT in free agency.

lol .. this Conklin is not a Matt Kalil type.

Everybody here should be in complete agreement that we sign Conklin.

Guy is a premier Tackle in this league.

I dont think you get the gist of what tepper wants and what Rhule is going to build.  This is going to be a rebuild from the ground up.  A total culture change.  They are going to handpick, mostly through the draft players that they want and how it fits in their vision.  They are not in a "win now" mentality.  He has already said as much.

No, man. We signed Joe Brady to win now. You're caught up in the smokescreen. We are winning, and now.

You might want to tell Tepper that because he said the exact opposite.  And I dont think hiring a 30 year old offensive coordinator signals we are in a "win now" mode.

Its almost if you have never listened to Tepper talk.  He is in no way in a desperation win now mode.  In fact its the exact opposite.

Rhule says the plan is to win a Super Bowl with Cam Newton .. but because its something you don't want to hear he was probably only just saying that. He didn't really mean it.

Tepper said ideally the Panthers win a Super Bowl with Cam Newton .. but because its something you don't want to hear he was probably only just saying that. He didn't really mean it.

But, Tepper says its going to be a five-year re-build and you just eat that right up like it's straight from the mouth of Jesus don't you. There is no, he's probably just saying that, he didn't really mean it, on that re-build statement.

Get off this board non-fan.

A) There is no need for insults

B)Tepper has made more comments then just that one about it being a culture change, process, program etc

C) What else would you expect them to say about Cam?  Plus every time they mention him its with the caveat "if he is healthy...."

      Hmmm... not a good start. Maybe I'm reading too much into this but after the guy who has been carrying your offense expresses frustration with his sudden lack of use and your HC just blows it off and confirms they haven't even talked, your PR team decides to use the guy who should be his backup as their poster boy hyping this week's game? Yikes. Hard not to interpret that as another slap in the face.

      For some reason this is becoming a disturbing trend in the NFL. Teams are shutting down one part of their offense without causation from the opposition. Shane Steichen did it an overtime loss against Kansas City last week with the best back in the NFL. Pete Carroll allowed Chip Kelly to completely abandon the run game against Dallas the week before he was fired in Oakland as the OC. Matt Lafleur abandoned the pass instead choosing to rely on a bottled up run game when we clearly were having issues with the passing game. Big brain play callers some of them HCs are what the league wanted along with high powered offense and these dudes are making some of the dumbest situational calls I've ever seen. At least most of them are young and can learn, Canales included. I remember Norv Turner trying to throw the ball around the yard in a certain SuperBOWL, going in at halftime down 13-6. Emmitt Smith said get me the d*mn ball and took over in the 2nd half. Remember Kyle Shanahan in the 2nd half vs. the Patriots? This shite happens to the best and the brightest. We are just actively seeing it play out in real time just like Atlanta and Dallas fans before us.  Also, not saying Canales is going to become either of those, just begging/hoping for our sanity he gets his shite together if he's going to be our HC.
