really??

I'm judging by his Twitter, but I could be wrong.

No references to the Panthers on it, and some kind of vague tweets.

I respect your opinion but I’m seeing the same trends that we saw under Marty and I’m not a fan of it. I’ll just leave it at that lol

Honestly Marty Hurney PTSD is a real thing and I totally understand anyone being skeptical about stuff bc of that

Problem is we were 18th (I think that is right) with a QB getting the ball out in about 2.5 seconds.  With a WCO-type release time, you have to be better than 18th.  Ask yourself how that 18th-ranked OL would look if the time to release was at the league mean, which I think is just about 2.75 seconds.  A quarter of a second doesn't sound like much, but quarter seconds are the difference between plays succeeding or failing a lot in the NFL.

That's the problem with ranking OLs.  You almost have to find a way to adjust what they did against a common baseline.  New Orleans' OL is almost certainly going to be better on paper than Cleveland's (I think Mayfiled had the longest time to release), but are they really better?  And were they better on paper because they did what was asked of them, or did the offense adjust to their limitations?  In New Orleans case, it was almost certainly the former, but in the Panthers' case, we were bottom half based on what was asked of them.

Regardless, if I am trying to run a WCO or offshoot, I am not happy about the OL ranking 18th against the rest of the league, given the numbers are not adjusted.

And they agree with you probably which is why they are changing lineman, no?

Jermaine is young and cheap would be a strange move

Like I said, this is just my impression so I don't know if it's true.

I did think the Panthers might want a better starter at MLB anyway.

Im assuming he will be signing with Buffalo or Washington soon, as per usual.

Don't forget the Pats!

I found his post about not looking to move on from Charlotte a little odd. He also said something to Zach Kerr about "seeing him on the other side".

None of it's conclusive though.

See my post above. The more I look, the more we got swindled. These two should have been had for way less like low end starter salaries not average.

Our new GM might be a very smart/high IQ guy but such people often seem to lack common-sense, signing these two underwhelmers could hint he has this problem.

WTH is going on, I mean Kerr looked good. Like these moves look pretty dumb right now.

*insert sarcasm font here* The Texans really wanted him. It was the deal breaker. Watson is going to be a Panther *insert sarcasm font here*

I've heard a couple of people suggest that, and I just can't get on board.

It would be a very Panther thing to choose a draft where the offensive line class is expected to be good and deep to be the one where we trade away all our picks.

I mean, Fitterer told everyone his strategy. He wants to go into the draft with as few holes as possible so that we can get the BPA! I mean, this isn't really rocket science.  With the draft being deep in quality OL prospects, I'd bet that we pick up one or two.

Re-signing with the Steelers...

I did not think they had the room.  JuJu might be gone.
