You would be making the assumption that our entire fan base is comprised of North Carolinians.

Yeah, it was a joke. 

But acting like we know more about a player than 2 different fan bases that have watched him play every Sunday is a bit silly.

Agreed although I will say Offensive linemen in particular can be vastly different players based on scheme/coaching (outside of the elite few).

Jets fans probably thought we overpaid for Robby Anderson too

 

my first thought.  I'm willing to give any Jets player a chance.  They have been a train wreck in the coaching department.  If he turns out half as good as Robbie did, he'll be worth it.  If not, we didn't overspend.

Panthers get into legal tampering fast, agreeing to three-year $13.5 million deal with Jets OG Pat Elflein, Adam Schefter reported. Elflein started the final six games at LG last season, so he fills a big immediate need on the offensive line at right or left guard. Originally a third-round pick by Minnesota in 2017 out of Ohio State, where he also played center as a fifth-year senior.

Pat Elflein's pass block win rate at guard was 86.5% in 2020 -- that would have ranked 66th out of 71 players had he qualified. His PBWR at guard in 2019 was slightly lower, 85.9%. He also posted the worst run block win rate among qualifying guards in 2019. (ESPN / NFL Next Gen Stats)

Both linemen -- OG Pat Elflein and OT Cam Erving -- that agreed to deals with the Panthers today have been with multiple teams. Both also have played multiple positions on the offensive line, so they can compete at different spots. Both are mid-level players who haven't excelled in the NFL, so it remains to be seen how much Carolina has upgraded the O-line at this point.

Breer...

 

 

I thought he WAS a C?

Dude won the Rimington Trophy in College and was named the Big Ten OLman of the Year (both 2016).

I've been thoroughly unimpressed with Paradis - this is serious competition for him.

He was, but he's also played guard.

The Vikings gave up on him only after a few seasons and drafted the center from NCSU, kicking Elfein to LG.  The Jets didn't think much of him apparently.

I mean they took 'that centre from NCSU' in the first round.

At that point you have to move Elflein off his position.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
