So not even 2 hours in we're already in Family Dollar Fitterer mode. 

He warned you that we were going to the dollar store so stay in the car and roll the windows up.  And no you're not getting any candy.

Outside reaction so far is...not positive.

That's not always the best measuring stick though.

That is kind of how i feel.  I am waiting for them to make sense.  I get it if we waited until next week and looked at these guys, but during the tampering period (I know one was released, I think (but the longer you wait, the price goes down.  They must have a certain "type" they are looking for.  I firmly believe that the system must be a good fit, and I recall a player like Evan Mathis getting released here and becoming  a pro bowler in Philly--so let's see/

I think this draft is slammed full of quality OLinemen. The fact that we are picking up serviceable guys that can play a few positions, makes me think this move is to keep us flexible. If we trade draft capital for Watson or to move up for a QB, then we at least have some vets that can fill in. If we don’t move up, we can still target linemen in the draft knowing that the FAs we signed aren’t big name guys that eat up a lot of cap and they can compete with or backup the draftees. I don’t hate these moves at all. 

You always bring sensibility to the Huddle.  Until I see the big picture, I am not totally in or out. These 2 contracts can be paid for by trading Teddy

I still think we draft a minimum of 2 OL next month.  One of which, being a starting LT (unless we sign one by then).

And Scott was not the worst--if we grab a T in the second and he needs a half season, we are probably OK.  Basically, we signed a Larsen who can compete at LG and a T that can play behind both ends of the LOS--the 19th and 70th picks in their respective drafts.

I don't hate the moves, just question the timing and the amount of money (very much related).

Spot on. Keeps us from reaching on draft picks to fill holes. Also gives up capable players in case we have no picks from Watson.

    • I knew he was hedging for a raise.  
    • I definitely respect your opinion more than Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and Carmelo Anthony (whom I just watched on their show, all saying NOBODY wants to get the Hornets in the post-season). You win.
    • For all the good feelings about Bryce Young, when you read between the lines, it's what DC says and doesn't say that makes us know that Bryce hasn't necessarily been the supercomputer that they thought he would be. This season, Bryce has to make a tangible progression on the field. "A big part of it is being able to operate at the line of scrimmage — not in the huddle — when we want to, and he’s certainly capable of that," Canales said about Young. "It’s not solely on him. It’s a group that’s pretty young. You have to trust all the guys to go up there, communicate verbally or nonverbally and execute what we’re doing. We’ve made huge strides in that regard. His ability to alter things based on what they’re giving you will give us another edge, which he’s continued to grow and had some great examples down the stretch where he identified things they were doing, got us to the right check and capitalized on some plays. Want to see him do that more when it’s appropriate. We don’t need to be changing things just to change it." The implications, perhaps insinuations, are pretty evident. Bryce is just going to have to do better. "And then for Bryce, it’s the identification of early on the cues that the defense are giving us, to be able to eliminate parts of your progression before the ball’s even snapped. That happens with time. I’ve seen quarterbacks really own and master, which allows them to play lightning fast." Obviously Bryce isn't necessarily picking things up as fast as Canales would like, and I can only assume that Canales is making comparisons to Russell Wilson, Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield. But, of course, not everyone picks things up at the same rate. Bryce's pace has left Canales wanting for more. During the coming season, I don't believe that it will be good enough for Bryce to start putting things together in December, evidence of the light switch being on is going to have to show itself in September. Basically, it's really the moment that we've all been waiting for, the one that we thought should've happened earlier, the one that brings Bryce's accountability in the spotlight. On an off note, perhaps to that end, we should consider the possible implications upon the draft, but that's another story. Basically, it's time for Bryce to sh¡t or get off the pot. https://roundtable.io/sports/nfl/panthers/news/carolina-panthers-dave-canales-holds-nothing-back-on-bryce-young-in-new-interview
