Nice pick.  I recall liking him as a late-round QB in 2019 or so.  He had a better JR year than SR year, but at Florida International, who knows what kind of support he had.

He had a good staff there in 2018 and 2019. Sounds like he had a knee injury in 2019 but played thru it.....

He has the tools. Think for him it's more about reps and getting to play against higher caliber players on a consistent basis.  He's also cheaper than Grier and easier to stash for another year.

Long term he's a backup. NFL arm but no touch at this point (2019) and issues with footwork. Only has the fastball but it's good, very good. Big time gun slinger. 

He had a chance before Wilson to stick around and maybe get there one day with the Jets. Now that was never going to happen so I get why he left one PS for another.

It looks like he is the prototypical West Coast offense QB, quick reads, get the ball out ASAP.

With our O-line and the possibility Sam may get injured at some point this season he may see the field.

I don't wish any Ls on the Panthers, but we have to do something to fix this O-line rather than patchwork, I don't care if we get the #1 draft pick and the best QB out of college....if our O-line continues to be an amalgam of average to below average linemen then we have nothing.

It’s where I live. 

My Grandfather was head of corrections for the state of oregon.  Once, when I was kid, I had to come in and get cleaned up because the Governor was coming over--no cops or secret service--he just drove up in his car with his wife and got out and walked inside.

He once had lunch with the crew of One Flew Over the CooCoo's nest--the were filming part of it in his building.

And then there was the minnow catching in the Willamette (Spelling?) River.   Good times.

I mean, there is no excuse for not finding a quality LG---LT is another story. 

I think we are going to use the TEs a lot to help, but they are not helping the middle that much.  Paradis and Elf need to get off those skates and actually beat some people.  Moton to LT and Christensen to RT sure sounds good.  Then put Jordan at LG--better than what we have now.

I agree that I think the Panthers may show a lot of 2 TE sets, but that isn't going to help up the middle. 

Our interior needs some help, but I think you would agree we still went the route of piecemealing our O-line this year.  We have to invest with draft choices and free agents who are known commodities not other team's average to garbage depth or a vet who is coming off of an injury with question marks.

Maybe that is why we picked up 240 lbs of RB (Freeman).  I dunno.  We could address the OL or just give it crutches.

The Saints D will expose us.

      I'm convinced Harden wants to do nothing but put up pretty shots and try to draw fouls and then do nothing on defense lol. Brunson went off though

      what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

      By TLGPanthersFan · Posted

      Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens.

      Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.
