I was talking to a Giants fan buddy today and he says this dude can really kick. They were half expecting him to unseat Gano. Hopefully we landed Butler 2.0. Oh, and evidently he's huge. Like could legit sub in at DE huge.

So he might be able to play……. LT?!

I kinda wonder if JJ didn't say something that might have prevoked them in the off-season to pulling the trigger on the LS.  Like hedging their bets?  I'm like the rest of you on why they used a late pick on one, granted he was the best in the draft but still.

Unless Jansen doesn't like money I can't understand why he'd want to retire. You can't touch the LS now and he has one job.

I think it was more the Panthers exploring options to get younger and cheaper.

That's what was was thinking as well.  I just didn't expect them to use a draft pick on one. I guess they wanted to make sure they got the one they wanted just in case.

They probably plan on stashing Fletcher on the PS and he can take over next year if JJ retires.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
