I'd reverse the question: Did we really believe a top O-Line was gonna be built in one offseason?

My read this offseason has been that they're signing stopgap vets (minus Moton, of course) while looking to build the line of the future primarily via the draft.

Will it work? Don't know, but I can respect the approach.

Going all in on a single season when you're realistically in a rebuilding stage would be classic Marty Hurney.

Yeah, I can get with that, but what is "going all-in"? I mean, I don't even feel we have the resources to go all-in. That being said, I think there is something to the notion of starting, or not starting as it were, Christensen and Brown...

So, we really doing this? Starting the season with a huge Achilles heal? 

 

I thought for sure a trade for at least an average left guard was a certainty. Everyone and their mother knows Elfein is horrid.

Matt Rhule ‘trust the process’

hard to believe his limited time in the NFL was with the oline.  

oh well

As evident by what? 5 wins? Whitehead? TB?

All they’ve shown is they don’t do things like Hurney. That doesn’t mean anything.

I’d encourage people to wait and see to ease up on the knee jerk and fire everyone threads if they suck again. They haven’t earned any credit at all so far.

It’s painfully obvious the oline is going to be bad, again, it’s baffling how willing they are to just ignore it. 

They definitely ignored in Seattle and Wilson hasnt been happy in a long time. Aint that where Fitt came from?

Actually classic Marty Hurney is thinking what you're doing is great and will pay off in spades while everyone else is looking at you perplexed. It's been ten years of this through two different GM's. We are hoping a similar approach will yield us different results in the short term. There is nothing unreasonable about that observation.

What Marty did on an annual basis.

Not really. What Marty did was throwing poo against the wall and seeing if it sticks. As a matter of fact, Panthers fans complained for many years that we weren't making any moves at all in free agency. Marty's issues were more on the business side--contract-value analysis, and balancing all the pieces. Plus, I dare say, that even after only two drafts, Rhule (or Rhule-Fit) is better at personnel evaluation.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      While I'd love to add him, it just doesn't make sense for where we are at in our re-build right now. The only teams who should be interested are those who have a very legitimate shot at winning the SB this season, as any team who makes the trade is going to be mortgaging their future to make the move. Teams who make these kinds of trades and then give them the massive contract, in the hopes that it will expedite their path to contention, ALWAYS ends up backfiring because they have to give up the 1st round picks that are then needed to help build out the rest of the roster after eating up such a significant chunk of the cap on the new contract. There is no way the Cowboys trade him for anything less than 2 future 1st rounders (and probably more), plus we'll have to make him the highest paid non QB in league history.  Not to mention that it would then have made the Scourton and/or Princely picks a bit of a waste, as those 2nd and 3rd round picks would have been better off used on a ILB or DB

      Like his approach to pre season that's ro get them out there and play together for a few plays and right about the night before and morning before.  Maybe we can come out the gate on fire I can smell the smoke from here!!   Go Panthers
