Robby Anderson was not the best signing of the offseason

Zach Kerr is. He currently sits as the 12th best IDL in the league according to PFF, and he has been a massive disruptor on that D-line. He also seems to be a great locker room guy. The craziest part is that we sign him to a 2 years, $3,000,000 contract with an average annual salary of $1,500,000. This was the steal of the offseason in my opinion.

Kerr's probably a short term guy, similar to Kyle Love.

But I agree, he's been good.

Made that comparison myself--prolly where you stole it!  (kidding) Love stayed here about what, 4 seasons?  Kept getting those 1-year deals.

I guarantee certain posters are scouring the internet to try and find some loose connection between Kerr and Rhule to avoid giving even a morsel of credit to Hurney for this signing lol.

"Well you see, Kerr's second cousin's neighbor actually was a freshman during Rhule's last year coaching at Temple and took a sports psychology course, so he MUST have ran into Rhule at some point and told him how great of a football player Kerr was".

I get pretty tired of the Hurney vs. the coaching staff nonsense. That is a 50/50 blame and 50/50 credit, IMO. We don't actually have any idea what percentage that each specific player was which person's idea. This is the same all the time and at every franchise. The only surefire blame is the coach/GM scenario. Those guys are always 100% to blame and get 100% credit.

True, roster building (draft, FA, etc.) is always a synergistic, collaborative effort between head coach and GM.  People who espouse claims like "Thank GOD we handed drafting duties over to Rhule and co. this year" are clearly driven by an agenda.  Then these same people in another thread are arguing about how dumb Hurney was to sign Teddy this offseason...like, huh?  At least try to be consistent.

So far the Hurney/Rhule experiment seems to be a lot more promising than Hurney/Rivera and Hurney/Fox, at least as far as roster talent.  Way too early to tell, though.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By CRA · Posted

      my understanding is a big time throw, could be a 5-10 yard slant to Adam Thielen given AT isn't going to separate.

      It's a subjective stat that PFF made up. https://www.pff.com/news/pro-pff-qb-grading-most-effective-tool-there-is
