So you have him penciled in at starting LT?  Cool, nobody else does.

Are you all talking about Cam Erving?  I think he could be the RG---not that I have heard anything--speculation--

Of course, they could let Daley, Scott, Little, and Erving compete for LT--but I think he is a RG.

I think we might draft LT--

BUT if we have to trade the first and second rounder, we would have not really addressed LT.  Erving gives us depth/competition at LT and a starter at RG, imo.

Yes, and also everyone says how bad our OL was last season but if I remember correctly we finished 18th overall? So we were average even with all the injuries. One that about ZBS is you don't necessarily need the dominant maulers there. A ZBS line works as a Unit and their success isn't based on the individual player's dominance but the success of the Unit working together properly. 

Glad you said this--it is correct  And Elfein is a better run blocker and puller than Reed was-- and I think Erving could be the RG--not the LT. 

They targeted these two players--knowing they were on a budget.  I am starting to get it.  They will be good in this system.  Imagine if we upgraded both G spots with about $8-9m per season?

That's not true, a lot of rookie OL start. 12 of 16 OL taken last year in rounds 1-3 (ignoring one that opted out for COVID) started at least half the year. One of the four that didn't start was Wilson in the 1st who got released by the Titans. In Little's year, there were a ton of OL taken right before and after him that all started year 1. That's what made his pick that much worse.

OL often start most of the rookie year, even if they don't start week 1. I'd almost say that it's surprising when a 1st or 2nd round pick doesn't start rookie year.

So rounds 1-3 are the only rookie OL?  If you add all the rest, then  roughly 15 of about 50 started for half a season--fewer started from day 1, which probably was the point.  I would not call 30% a lot, but I see your point.

Take look at our roster to find out where Fitterer will look to next in free agency. We have 3 CB's and 3 DT's and one of those is some guy named Mike Panusiuk 

Or draft.  DT and Corner are obvious needs going into draft.  Both positions are prime for a rookie to come in and make an impact.

Saw speculation last year that we would keep Samuel and Anderson and move on from DJ Moore.

I’m all for this. Yea DJ has nice stats and is young...but how many non biased fans do u think have ever watched a Panthers game and thought “damn, they need to feed DJ! He’s a monster!”....I’m willing to bet not many...and yet he’s gunna ask for that kinda money.

Would LOVE to cash in now for a 1st rounder like the Colts so that we can pay Samuel and be able to give Anderson an extension to lower his current cap hit.

This would be so much better bang for our buck.

IMO I don't really understand the move to release DT Zach Kerr when DT is a team need! I hope Fit makes the moves to warrant this cut. Fit has made a couple moves that's a head scratcher, but have to try to trust it's all has a purpose to make the panthers better this year than last!

3100 yards with Kyle Allen Will Grier Teddy Bridgewater and PJ Walker throwing to him. Yes clearly he must be the problem let's get rid of him while we still can.

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      By frankw · Posted

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
