Right tackle Taylor Moton should be a priority for an extension from the Panthers. I’m told by league sources talks are ongoing but nothing is imminent. Said Moton: “I have a lot of trust in my agent. I’m 100 percent focused on Taylor Moton being the best offensive tackle I can be.’’

Honestly it's par for the course that we would be looking to extend him right now:

1. He hasn't earned it

2. He's merely average at his position

These two line up for the perfect Hurney extension

According to PFF, he has earned it. He’s been ranked really high pass blocking wise and average run blocking. He was just ranked 20th in their tackle preview for 2020, so above average with room to improve. We have no other good OL signed past this year so we need to extend him and he should hopefully not be crazy expensive as a RT.

with the salary cap expanding (pre covid) and the new CBA do not be surprised that this deal is going to look huge when in reality it will just be a new normal.  

At this point assuming the salary cap will DECREASE going forward seems like the logical assumption since it’s based on total league revenue and that seems near guaranteed to go down due to COVID impact. Any deals made now that do not take this into account seem likely to look horribad in a year or 2 imo.

      Comparing a random stat to another rookie QB has nothing to do with the current subject.  Tom Brady had a 6.0 YPA his rookie year.  I hope you're not using one stat to define success of a QB? It's not a problem to want him to do better based on where he was drafted although I still contend it doesn't matter after the fact.  It doesn't matter if we're talking about Cam Newton, Tom Brady, Russel Wilson or any other QB.  It makes little difference once you're in the NFL.  Nobody gets a ring for where they were drafted.   Higher draft picks will get a little more time in most cases as teams want to make sure they've exhausted all avenues before they admit a draft pick can't play.  Other teams might pick them up thinking it wasn't the player but the organization and/or other coaches that caused the player not to succeed.  It's people's expectations that are wrong.  If we could go back and redo all the draft and put guys in the correct draft spot based on how well they played in the NFL, that would be nice.  Then your argument would make some sense.  People assume that where a player was drafted is a statement on how good that player is when the reality is there is a lot more luck than skill in drafting. If Coker turns into a pro bowl receiver and XL becomes a bust nobody cares except fans and the media. What we really should say is it's not too much to expect a player who has started at QB for a team over the last 2 years to be better than he currently shows.   Don't compare 1st round picks.  Compare starting QB's in the NFL.

      Defense is turning around?

      By electro's horse · Posted

      They’re gonna have to go up against a real offense before any kind of judgement can be made of them.  Tlaw looks like damaged goods, Kyler is completely washed, and Penix….well…. they look better compared to last season but that’s what you’d expect with a healthy brown and horn.  I haven’t seen anything that indicates they’ll be considered an overall good defense when the dust has settled. 2002 it is not.
