Hope DaQuan is ready to roll. 
 

Would like to see:

Erving - Christiansen - Paradis - Brown - Moton

But expect to see:

Erving - 💩- Paradis - Miller - Moton

I’m hoping Daley will fill in @ LG if Elfein can’t go. I think Daley plays more naturally on the left in fact he said so in a recent interview.

I mean, if you suck enough to get released on your rookie 1st round contract, get two franchise fanbases to turn on you, and look like crap in preseason and now week one for your 3rd team in 2.5 years, yeah..you will be disliked.  

Thats all true. But people are not watching him play. Its at the mob part and people are just repeating and out for blood memes now. 

Plus bring up any thread when he was signed and many others, I hated the signing. He held his own with paradis next to him going against Qwilliams and Srichardson.....not easy at all. He was always running towards the second level and one of the main blockers on screen plays. 

I also forgot the times, once a firm label happens, it feels impossible to remove it. If bad player can only have bad games....Im wasting my time.

No chance to change the Elf hate, its reached mob status. 

Hate is a strong word. Panthers fans know what that looks like there aren't any mom's from Tennessee sending in angry letters about Pat Elflein. People want to compete and win. From Bridgewater to this guy what is it with folks and this affinity for cozying up to mediocre? You all know the goal is to compete in the division and eventually a super bowl right? Another Mike Remmers for people to make excuses for isn't what we need.

I mean I already knew Elf was bad and thought Jets would focus attacks on him(he was a 2020 jet). I had low expectations and he played decent. I also know its impossible for the team to field 25 1st team all-pros as well, so decent is fine at a few spots.

I just member some huddlers said paradis played better in 2020 than 2019. So there maybe hope for Elf. I will acknowledge what happens regardless of my feelings towards the player.

That's fair. Moton is truly the diamond in the rough and even he is going to have some moments saddled with that around him. It's only week one but looking ahead at some upcoming opponents the Texans Cowboys Eagles and even the Vikings who lost a close one to the Bengals doesn't look to be the stretch we perceived it to be in preseason. The agonizing over the oline is just getting started.

Well I'm glad the Huddle has found its scapegoat for the season.

You were see-sawing between Elflein and Erving, but darn if you haven't been decisive in the last week. 

Speaking only for myself here but I'm focusing on Elflein because that is the topic of this thread.  He's not the only problem on the line. I'm looking at you Paradis and Delay. Erving is spared for now but he's on borrowed time.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
