Was Christensen the biggest surprise?

I know it was just the preseason and it was against backups so it has to be taken with a grain of salt, but I was pleasantly surprised with Christensen.  Especially at RT.  He had a couple bad snaps but overall I thought he had a pretty solid performance.  I know most of us have been hoping he would end up being good but as camp has went on I think a lot of doubt had started to creep in.  Most of the reports coming out were saying that the potential is there but hes definitely not ready, which is scary to hear about an older rookie.  Could it be that maybe he's just one of those guys that are better on game day?

The reports were from Zod. It's best not to trust his player takes.

The reports from others said he'd been doing fine

Remember we started Gross out on the right side and he was a first round pick.  I think people are expecting too much out of a rookie 3rd round pick to come in and win the starting LT spot right away at one of the most difficult spots to play in the NFL.

The guy hustled that's for sure.  I didn't notice any penalties either.  Thats the way I like it, an offensive line that I don't notice.

I thought he had one of those false starts in the 3 or 4 they had in a row in the 4th?

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
