Gross-Matos, Chinn, Brown, and Pride is starting to look like a damn good run through the first four rounds.  Pride has been flirting with the 1s in practice--the others could start.

That would be huge for us. Do we then say it’s Matt knowing these guys from colleges because Hurneys sucks at round 2-3.

Yep. Weatherly might be a decent rotational piece a la Wes Horton but if he's starting you're lacking. Throw the rookie out there and let him learn on the fly. 

I think that needs to be the philosophy across the board. Get the youngsters as much experience as possible, knowing they will get burned a lot in the beginning.

I have a feeling Rhule was in some ears.

This paragraph tells me all that I need to know about Gross-Matos: 

"They give you a whole new perspective," Gross-Matos said. "Even just listening to the way they ask questions. Some things that they know and that they think about, I've never heard before. So I'm just trying to pick their brains as much as possible and just try to take all the good traits and put them in myself." 

Goosebumps.

As he should be. Don't let Hurney's second round track record fool you. Teams are expecting those guys to develop into starters.

Yep. Don’t think Rhule’s intimate knowledge of him didn’t play a part. Just like Brady knew about Brown and the only D that held LSU under 36 points. They had 23 and Brown had a sack and 2 TFLs against the top college OL. So much of my optimism for the D selections rests in the fact that I don’t think Hurney had a ton of say. It’s funny that the XFL guy got cut and in 2018 Hurney went all gung ho on AAF players instead of UDFAs so maybe he’s got a thing for these random leagues and it hasn’t worked.

      Do they practice down field throws at practice?

      By CRA · Posted

      I still think a Dalton thumb injury screwed us 2 seasons in a row.  It allowed the Bryce Young comeback after whoever finally gave a greenlight on being done w/ him 2 weeks into the season.  and I think we saw a soft benching this year and they wanted to see Andy run it with this crew.  But Andy hurting his thumb killed us from seeing whatever he has at full go in a game.  Bryce Young was never hurt those 2 games to the degree which called him to miss a game IMO.  You don't see QBs sit for such minor things....unless you just want to use it to explore and see.

      Dave Canales Panthers are 3-6 following a win

      By frankw · Posted

      I was quite critical of Ron Rivera's game day coaching decisions and management over his years here. Especially when he coached super conservative playing not to lose. But at the end of the day he never had to try and win with a Bryce Young. John Fox had to try and win with a Bryce Young and he completely checked out and got himself fired. The only. Only solution right now. Is to remove the anchor around our necks from the equation and move forward however we can and assess all the moving parts with the time we have left so we can move forward accordingly in the offseason. Not doing so is only going to further delay evaluating what we have in this young roster and this staff led by Canales.

      XL is a bust

      Sometimes GMs try outsmart everyone by picking a player they think has the physical tools and can be coached up but Legette is an example what happens when that doesn't work out. Teams that are already contenders with a full roster can take those chances. The Eagles, for example, could have rolled the dice on a guy like Legette. But the Panthers needed, and still need, to draft guys who are ready to play now in the first round. Legette wasn't that guy and there were much better options available.
