2nd round prospect that seems would be a Rhule fit.

Think its all assumed and we're all holding our breath that its a QB in rd 1.

 

Now the Panthers still have a Huge need at OL and CB.  

On the OL, they need talent all over.  Paradis is the only starting OL under contact next season.  While he played better, he still wasnt Good, just better than his horrid 2019 season.  Next year will be his last year on his deal, so even he Doesnt get Cut to open cap space, he'll be gone the next year.

 

In come his potential replacement.

 

A local Kid, from Hudson, NC (right outside Hickory)

Meet Landon Dickerson.

The Starting Center from Alabama 

 

Dickerson just feels like a Rhule guy.

 

1st:  our favorite word, "Culture".  This kid is known to be a Leader and aa good as you can get lockeroom guy.  Don't believe me, go watch when he tore his ACL in the SEC Championship game where dam near ever player and coach for Alabama came from the sideline out to the cart.  Saban thought so highly of him that he brought him out to take the final snap of the national championship.  Even though he tore his ACL a few weeks earlier, he still dressed out and was out there in warmups and sideline with his guys.

This brings me to my next point,

Tough as he11-> "Temple Tough"

 

 

Rhule helped coin the whole "Temple tough".  And this MF is all of that and more.

Ok, let's derail the hype train a bit here.

The guy started like the first half of his freshman season . . . and tore his ACL.

He comes back the next year, as a sophmore, plays like four games, injures his ankle, requiring surgery, out for the rest of the year.

Comes back a junior, TWO games, ankle injury, out the rest of the season.

So now he redshirts, transfers from Florida State to Alabama.  Good for him.  For the first time in his college career, he plays a full season.

Against Florida this year, tears his ACL, AGAIN.

Come on man.  There is no way I'm giving a second round pick for a guy with FOUR season ending injuries before he even gets to the NFL.  On talent, he's probably a 3rd rounder.  With that injury history, fourth round at best.

I would have before the torn knee.  I'm worried he's damaged goods now.  Secondly, I'm taking an OT in the second round.   Agreed, we need an heir apparent to Paradis, but that's going to have to wait until at least the 4th round.   Need a CB in the 3rd.

You. Do. Not. Invest in big men with injuries. How many times does this FO need to learn...Williams, Okung, Kalil, Paradis now Little...and these are just the recent ones...NO.

Never saw Dickerson as good enough for pick 39 before the ACL injury. No chance I’d want him with his injury past. I also don’t completely care if the IOL we get in the draft are Gs or a C. Paradis is still under contract and if we go QB at 8, we don’t have a lot of picks. A 3rd for Bradberry and 4th/5th for Addison would be nice right now. Easily could have taken 4 G/Cs (2 day two and 2 day 3) and still had 6 (or 7) picks left for a QB and other positions.

Yikes with that injury history I’d say he’s a 6-7th rounder if not undrafted.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
