The fact that he's been a healthy scratch is every reason why you move on from him.

I get it as a gut reaction but he was injured his rookie year and last year he showed flashes. I think that lines up with a player who has raw talent but needs to hone his skills. I understand he was picked earlier then he needed to be but everyone isn't going to come in and produce in year 1/2. It takes time and you have to give him that. I'm also not saying time is going to make him a better player, that's up to him and the coaches, but we need the time to find out and by time I mean this year. He needs to put together a consistent year of at least average play.

 

I really think if he was taken in the 3rd it wouldn't be this hot of an issue, but Marty had to Marty. The cost is spent the only value that matters now is what he can add to the team.

I don't think Little's body is half as big a problem as his brain.

Last year, if somebody wasn't running right at him or directly in his path, he just stood there having no idea what to do.

That's not a profile that says "successful guard" to me.

No.  Anyone who researched him and watched him would dismiss him as a G.  He was a boom or bust LT.  He busted.  You do not experiment with a LT if you have your future QB back there.  Not only does it get the QB hurt if he gets hit, but just KNOWING Little is on the left side can cause the QB to hurry a throw or flinch when the clock in his head hits 3 seconds..

He looked promising before injuries. I think the huddle opinion of him is at partially based just on him being a Hurney second round pick, and not entirely objective. No reason to count him out entirely at this point in his career.

He was not good last year. But did show flashes in previously. His concussion history though is the most concerning part 1-2 more and he is done.

Injuries didn't affect his brain.

Even factoring in practice time out, he looked absolutely lost way more times than he should have last season. That's why he got benched for an undrafted guy.

Add in that while I actually disagree with the notion that he looked better pre-injury, even accepting that premise, you can't get the "pre-injury" guy back. He is what he is now.

You wouldn't have to cut him if you weren't stupid enough to draft him to start with. He's a bust and watching his turnstile technique of blocking isn't going to make it better.

Last year was his 2nd year in the league. He was raw coming in and everyone knew it would take time, as it usually does with offensive linemen taking outside of the Top 10.

 

People seem to forget that the developmental curve for offensive linemen is far steeper than all skill positions.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I went to Canes games back in '04 & '05 when you were probably still a swimmer waiting to make your dad a father. There was no one there bc they sucked. Some of the lowest attendance in the NHL. As a Panthers fan coming off a SB season (03-04), I couldn't even believe they put a hockey team in Raleigh, and given the attendance, a lot of people speculated they would be relocated somewhere back up north where they would be supported and not "Mayberry." Seriously, educate youself.  That is reality. That being said, comparing that environment to 2024 Canes would be disingenuous. I was at PNC last year and know how great the current environment is. Comparing the current environment at BOA to 10 years ago is just as disingenuous.  Just bc you didn't witness how good BOA is when the Panthers are actually decent doesn't change reality. Seriously, surely you see that coming from such an elitist environment like the globally renowned world-class city of Raleigh, NC... I guarantee you if you went to a Canes game and a Panthers game in 2005, the difference would be unreal bc the Panthers were awesome and the Canes were (at the time) a moribund franchise. I have been in BOA when the whole stadium was rocking. You simply are young, don't know what you're talking about, but want to portray yourself as having knowledge about things you simply don't. You have a lot in common with modern day politicians and televangelists Like I said, Idiocracy has prevailed... Have a great day too!

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!
