we tried to trade back but couldnt get the value we wanted in return. Taking Horn was the right move at our pick position. One weakness vs another. We chose to go defense over offense. It's one way or the other, no wrong decision, its philisophy at that point.

A competent starting left tackle is light years more valuable than a competent starting corner.  Its not even in the same discussion.  And this is coming from someone that loves Horn but if Slater turns out to be an above average LT then we done fuged up in not picking him for some stupid reason that his arms were a quarter inch too short.

Yea I mean you go all defense in the draft one year after having the one of the worst oline…then you draft one (and I mean one as in high draft investment (well as high as Grier went), hard to count where you don’t even have the other [Brown] active on game day). After having a below average ranked oline (18), thanks to 7 games or whatever from Okung. Otherwise easily bottom third of NFL.

Looking at decent NFL olineman the best ones really do go long before the half of the third round.

You can’t pay busts more money and expect them to do well. And big men do not heal. They just don’t. Proven over and over again.

Paradis gone next year. Every year I say this is the year the Panthers invest in oline but seriously 2022 literally has to be that year. Maybe Brown and Christianson will step up and the plan will come into place.

Incorrect.

Imagine our CB depth now without Horn. In a passing league, especially in our division, it's good to have a shut down corner on your team.

Cmc had just under 100 yards rushing with backups at both guard spots. Was there pressure? Yea, the Jets only good unit is the Dline and they get paid too. I’m still worried about Pass pro but the oline did fine and got a win. 

As with last year, you will once again see them get exploited by the Saints. A good team …or really even an average team won’t allow what we saw on Sunday with backup olineman. Of course all our olineman are backups except Moton.

A competent LT is not even in the same stratosphere in value as a competent corner.  You are drunk to even argue as such.  A left tackle is the second most important position in football.

Nobody deliberately signs players they THINK are bad. But if a players objective track record and performance to date does little to suggest they are anything but, and then they show up and perform as others expected but not as you hoped, isn't that pretty much on you?

      What's wrong with Damien Lewis? He played pretty well last year.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Icege · Posted

      Official NFL Cuts Tracker Deadline for roster cuts is Tuesday, August 26th. At this moment (Friday, August 22nd) the only interesting names I see are... K Caden Davis (BUF) RB Ameer Abdullah (SF) WR Equanimeous St. Brown (SF) WR Donovan Peoples-Jones (NO) LB Khaleke Hudson (TEN) Abdullah, St. Brown, Peoples-Jones I don't exactly think we should cut anybody for but it was just interesting seeing those names. Khaleke Hudson was on the Panthers' practice squad last year I believe and might have even gotten called up? And of course, Caden Davis just because of the question mark at kicker this season for the team.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I'll say 6/10. I don't know that we learned a whole lot about this team during preseason that we didn't already know. We didn't play the starters enough to really get a feel for what to expect. We had one good drive against the Browns, one 3-and-out and two 3-and-outs against the Texans. That's an extremely small sample size across 3 games regardless of performance. My camp/preseason takeaways: Jalen Coker might be the best WR on this team and is certainly no worse than #2. Nic Scourton is going to be a good player for us. Possibly very good. Bobby Brown was our best free agent addition. Jack Plummer isn't an NFL QB. Not even a practice squad guy. Having anyone other than Canales and Evero call plays was a really stupid and pointless idea. Our depth is largely non-existent, especially on defense. The three areas we actually DO have depth are on the OL, in the WR corp. and at RB. I can't fathom why Dan Morgan didn't do more to upgrade ILB during the offseason. We better hope Lathan Ransom steps up at FS because if he doesn't we have a massive hole. For all the hype surrounding Sanders/Evans, Tommy Tremble is still the best TE on the roster. I'm only slightly less enthusiastic going into the regular season than I was a month ago. I think our starters on offense are solid and we should be pretty good there unless Bryce totally regresses. On defense, we're probably bottom 3rd in the league if 100% healthy and significantly worse than that if injuries become an issue. We badly need at least two of our rookies to become high-level players early (ideally one of the pass rushers + Ransom) and at least 2 of our free agent additions (ideally Moehrig + Bobby Brown) to be significant upgrades over last year. Call me pessimistically optimistic 😆
