Unfortunately Erving probably not squirming too much…he still gets paid millions

The fact that Erving still finds employment, and deposits a fat check, only underlines the shortage of talented OLmen on the market -- or indeed, on current rosters.

They don't grow them big boys on trees, like they do WRs.

In Fitt we trust.  When the opportunity presents itself, he'll strike.

Sign Terron Armstead and draft Tyler Linderbaum 

I don't know about these exact two players but I think that's the right attitude.  A plan as simple as signing just one FA and one first round draft pick would go a long way to fixing our OL woes.  And that's a very doable strategy with the team's huge cap space next year.

I was wondering what had happened. Although you could argue Darnold injured his pride and his return was probable.

Was going to mention this in another thread but reputation is important, not just with other GM's around the league but agents and players as well. Carolina isn't mentioned often as a potential destination for higher level talent wanting to move on from their current team but it would be nice if it was.

I think this also highlights just how difficult it could be to rebuild the O-line. It's been brought up before but with the way football offenses are built at the college level, the pool of pro-ready Uglies isn't what it used to be.

The Athletic had a discussion with a bunch of agents talking about who they could trust, who they could deal with, who does/doesn't lie to them, etc. Fitterer came off pretty good.

I've also read that he's very well networked around the league.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
