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.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
