Rhule has mentioned the possibility of starting Christensen or Scott on the left, but also didn't rule out moving Taylor Moton.

This is my only real frustration about the staff this season. Moton at LT and Christensen at RT always felt like our best OT tandem. I can't help but feel like if we had rolled with that tandem at OT and Brown at RG since opening day we'd be on the cusp of fielding a decent OL at this point as everyone gelled and adjusted to the NFL.

Them not being high on Slater playing tackle and overpaying Elf and Erving on the first day of free agency might prove they aren't the best at judging Oline talent. Tremble, Marshall, and Chuba vs whoever else they could possibly have drafted is one of those things that will take at least a season or more to determine. They're all just rookies getting ready to play their 5th games after all.

And yeah, they can't rebuild the team in 2 years. They still could have broke ranks from what the previous regime did and put some cheap, young talent in the Oline instead of so much on the defense. They just have different priorities. 🤷‍♂️

Erving and Elf’s contract scream stop gap starters. They know they aren’t the answer, but there weren’t many other options. Slater looks like a miss, but the jury is still out on him. We obviously value CB very highly (maybe too high) and Horn’s athletic ability is off the chart. They wanted a “can’t miss” prospect at 8 and Sewell and Horn were the top options. Slater was moved around the line throughout his college career and had one really good season at LT. Hindsight is 20/20 and if we knew we could get Henderson and Gilmore for next to nothing and Slater was going to start off so well, we might have drafted Slater over Horn. Then you have to wonder if we win our first three games with DJax and no one else at CB…

You know i noticed that since the game Sunday nobody has pointed out the fact that Darnold actually had to go under the tent for injury concerns during the game. Its only a matter of time at the rate we are going. Better hope changes are being made this week. 

It wasn't injury related, his jersey was partially ripped. But yeah, still happened due to the line playing like poo

That’s a hell of a statement to make to your locker room.

Yep..when I heard this and others today…probably makes members of that unit not too motivated. I read a d heard a couple are playing through injuries 

they draft two…play them

of course cmc’s return, due to his quickness makes them look better…until the next time

He also said no one was interested, not even for backups.  Keep this in mind during the off season.  FAs will get paid, OL will go early and often in the draft.

On the Walter football list Miller and Elf were literally in the top 5-10 FA's realistically available. Probably should have just kept Chris Reed at the vet minimum

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By Basbear · Posted

      They know within 15 mins.  Many moons ago skins drafted Heath Shuler at like 5th overall and Gus Frerotte in the late rounds. You know the plan, its Heaths team. Old OLman stink said within 15 minutes they knew Gus was the better QB.  I didn't need 15 or players on the same field, I just knew like Bill said "he better walk on water", which he hasn't. I do blame tepper mainly for it, he spend the greater part of 2 year telling everyone Watson would be a panther......and fail....but a great fail...then Stanford turned panthers down.....tepper was beyond pissed and wanted a QB. He forced the trade and picked BY......and now by .....some grace of the gods formed a team with 4 QBs of no hope...... insane given the other roster spots.....

      He definitely knows nothing about the Panthers, but there’s no denying he’s a pioneer in this whole draft grading and mock draft field.

      I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep.
