It’s way too early, but PFN had a 2022 top 50 and 10 were OL and another 16 honorable mentions and 5 were OL. So, 15 of top 66, a little under 25%, which based on 22 starters is about the same ratio so I guess it’s about average. No idea if they are uncurling underclassmen but should be plenty to go heavy OL, only problem is the lack of a 2nd, which is typically a great spot for IOL.

 

The way I look at it is, Paradis, Miller, and Moton played rather well together. So that side should be ok. Not great by any means, but not a total dumpster fire either. Put BC at LG, and throw everyone else at the LT spot. May the best man win. Plus we have Tremble to help, and both CMC, and Chuba are very good at Picking up the blitz.

 

It may not be top shelf, but we should be able to go to war with that lineup.

 

I would not be adverse to throwing some money at a LT in FA, but only on a real LT that can man the position for years. If that fails. Depending on how this year goes, an all Oline draft may not be out of the question.

 

This team is set up so that Oline is the last unit in need of attention. Fix that LT spot once and for all, and this team has potential.

I fully agree that it is Josh Allen.

@ZodAny particular player(s) that caught your eye from how much they've improved?

Out of Pride Jr, STO3, Taylor, Melvin, and Hartsfield who all do you think has the best chance to snag a spot on the roster behind Jaycee, Donte, and Abouye?

How did Sam Franklin look, if he caught your eye at all? After reading up on him when the team initially signed him last year, I expected somebody that they'd try to develop into Chinn-lite while contributing on ST. He played DB at Temple for his first two years, started at the nickel his Jr season, and started at LB his senior season (which was where he was listed during his rookie stint last year). The roster on the Panthers' site has him listed as a safety currently.

Having a Chinn-lite would be great! We can run a Double Chinn package in honor of Fitts!

I was looking to make a Chinn pun somehow and absolutely hate that I missed this most obvious of options. Thank you for helping me keep my Chinn up.

Welp. Guess that shows what I know. 🙂

I think during this time of year, we can be a little freer with the main posts.  We've had posts on other teams lineman, superbowl 50, bold and meek predictions.   There isn't a ton of news so when a newscaster gives us some love, I thought it might generate some discussion.  I really didn't see it posted on this thread.

Me too. But the average football fan wouldn't watch enough scouting and tape to figure it out. They would see highlights on espn of baker Mayfield throwing a 50 yard pass and it being caught so he must have the strongest arm.

Hey, I'd never disparage you. You're a quality poster. 

Frankly that's a good bellwether post. Some posters on here would start a thread to share a pundit's tweet and would just get Poo'd into oblivion. Others would post the same and get praised. Comes down to their track record. You should feel flattered, because it speaks to the Huddle's high opinion of you. Rock on.

Nice of you to say.  I just post stuff that I think might stir up conversation....things I find interesting.

Panthers minicamp observations: Sam Darnold didn’t have a great day, and that’s OK (yahoo.com)

Here's another summary article on our minicamp by the Charlotte Observer reporter.

Pretty much the same stuff reported on the thread.

 

Up front is where Darnold will see more noticeable improvement. He was pressured on 42.1% of his drop-backs in 2020, the second-highest rate in the league out of qualifying quarterbacks. Conversely, the ultra-conservative, get-it-out-quickly passer Teddy Bridgewater's pressure rate was just 30.9%.

Yes.   Howeer, we have new olineman and   we hope to take advantage of Darnolds range, which will take more time for those plays to develop.  It SHOULD be a better situation for Sam, but we really don't know what we're looking at yet.  We've tried to moneyball the line.  A lot of people think that is a bad plan.  I'm more wait and see, and give the new guys a chance.

      Mike Tomlin stepping down as HC of the Steelers

      We've never seen them outside of the structure of two very well ran organizations I'll give you that. And yes they are long in the tooth. I do think they are more than capable of getting a franchise turned around in short term capacity though. They are by no means a long term solution.

      Your Feelings on Bryce Through 3 Seasons? (POLL)

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      You're not making a good-faith argument by blaming literally everything on the quarterback when the defense gave him a fat 38 seconds to overcome its ineptitude, but it seems you're dead-set on blaming him for any problem the team encounters. In this case, it's not warranted. Sometimes it is. But he had no time to throw (pressured on 46% of all dropbacks, an insane amount) and that's simply not all his fault -- particularly when they rush 4 or less and are in the backfield in 1.5s or less. Should we have gotten more than 0 yards? Sure! But he hit a WR in the hands on fourth down and it was dropped. Not his fault. He missed one throw on second down but I attribute first down to a bad play call and third down to poor pass protection. I would've called some quick slants, personally, but it really seems you're saying: - playcalling: Bryce's fault - poor pass protection: Bryce's fault - defensive choking away a lead: Bryce's fault, not the defense - Horn dropping a pass: Bryce's fault It's a great way to garner support on here, because when it comes to Bryce, logic takes such a backseat to context that it's not even in the same vehicle. Plenty of games can be attributed to him. Can't take anyone seriously who solely blames him for that one.

      I don't see how you can logically make that argument when the team beat two of the top teams in the entire league during the regular season.  Now imagine the additional games we would have won against absolute tip top competitors like SF and SEA had we had a professional QB.  You can throw any random stat at the problem you want, but the proof is in the pudding.  We all watched it live.  This roster would have produced 13 wins (wins against SF and SEA, two wins against NO, and would have swept the Bucs) and (almost certainly) a #1 seed with a remotely competent QB.  Those were not games where we needed an all star performance to win.  Those were games where a very, very modest stat line would have netted us an easy win. Nearly every measurable aspect of the team would have been significantly improved with a competent QB.
