All I'm gonna say is man, how many times did we see literally this same post made over the years about Fox/Hurney and Rivera/Hurney after we signed some dude that proved to be trash?

Yeah, I don't think the franchise has really earned the right to that benefit of the doubt.

I remember Elflein being pretty good in the past. Don't know as much about Erving.

As mentioned elsewhere, I'm not "freaked out" by either signing, but I am a little concerned about us pursuing recently injured players again.

OK ill ask...are either of these guys any good?

Well, classically, no?  Ish?

This is almost a challenge for the coaches.  Here's guys with good traits.  Now whip them into shape and make them play well.

What people don’t realize is that the best players can end up being complete trash with an injury or in the wrong system.

 

Meanwhile you Find players that have sucked for years all of a sudden hit their stride and become good, because they found the right system or just was a late bloomer.

Darryl Williams: He is not the worst RT in the NFL as he seemed to be when we let him go. He looks like a top 10-15 RT.  

Great comment here OP.  Hard to gauge players with injuries and both the OL signs were cheap, have pos flex and aren't old.

I think Elflein will be the starting LG, and I think we will like him.  He is good in the run game he can pull and block in the flats or cross the formation and kick out.  He is young, and needs to work on pass protection, but I think he will start.

About Cam Ewing.  He actually played C at Florida State for a season (I think his final year). He is 29 and I think could be the next RG.  At KC, he looked good at G and played both sides. They paid him more than a backup, so I think he will be in the competition at several positions (LT, RG, C)?

If we got 2 starting Guards out of this and they play well, this could be great.  I know many of you are bummed--so was I, but these were not leftovers.  We went out and got them--we targeted these two "diamonds in the rough"

      FLA showed everyone it’s not about superstars. they bullied the best line in the NHL into obscurity. they played hard, were in the right positions, and ran over everything that got in their way.

      That’s really not what you said and when I even expressed doubt as to your intentions with the post you doubled down and remained unclear on whether you were trying to drag Dean Smith for whatever reason. You just got the facts wrong, which if you don’t follow the local college programs like you say then maybe you just were mistaken and thought Smith didn’t win championships or have legit superstars, and that is ok, but you just doubled down when my first post was more corrective than anything. I’m not sure what you expect posting objectively false things like “RBA has a lot of wins with nothing to show for it like Dean Smith” (paraphrasing) on a message board with plenty of UNC fans. I’m not taking it as a personal affront, we can agree to disagree, Dean Smith’s legacy fortunately will not be affected by this conversation. Screw the (Florida) Panthers?

      Bring in the free agents and trades.  Florida is the best team and unless Tulsky makes it happen, it’s more of the same…which isn’t bad…but it’s time to win a goddamn cup.
