The counter to your argument is that if Cmac had the Dallas line from the 90s or the Steelers line from the Cower era he might score like Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl. 

These scrub running backs aren't able to take full advantage of the line being great when you have one.

They aren't scrubs

like Zeke is washed already drafted in just 2016 when Pollard a 4th rounder isbarely a drop off and with Zeke they still won nothing. Bet the Cowboys would rather have any of those after him but especially.... Hell that Cowboys with Jalen Ramsey or Bucker lol not even close to a debate.

Then Derrick Henry was there in the 2nd Where they took Jalen Smith who is now out...

The Cowboys had already drafted OL currently to even be in that position and was still the not hindsight worst move and a poo move.

Another point to this story is that it shows Tepper as a decision maker to extend CMC. I get the feeling Tepper is an “involved owner” on football decisions. This is rarely a good thing and could be why this team has only won 22 games in nearly 4 seasons since he has been the owner.

2018:  7-9

2019: 5-11

2020: 5-11

2021: 5-7

Because we are years away from sniffing a championship

We need 3 ol and a QB and a Mike and we are set.

 

Unfortunately we have an idiot in charge that won't use this time left in the season to evaluate Brown and Christensen. 

But a good center a good guard and an average LT would go far.

Hurney contract yes but he did what he was told. Our new owner had hired a new coach jettisoned Cam Newton and needed a face to sell tickets that's what it was about. Hope it was worth it.

Cam Newton was "getting the dog crap beat out ofhim". Thus, they needed someone that wouldkeep opposing defenses from focusing on Newton alone.
 

 The Panthers were looking for a back who could take some of the wear and tear off quarterback Cam Newton, who’d been battered and beaten throughout the post-MVP and post-Super Bowl season of 2016.

We may be the only team in the league dumb enough to think we need a running back instead of an offensive line to help keep our QB from getting annihilated every game.

A word about Khary Darlington, the scout referenced in the first article...

He was considered a rising star in the scouting department but he disappeared from the Panthers (and pretty much the world) mid 2017.

The timing makes it seem a strong likelihood that Darlington was the employee whom Jerry Richardson used a racial slur against, and that he subsequently took a settlement with a non-disclosure agreement. That would explain his falling off the face of the earth right when it looked like he was headed for great things.

Thanks again, Jerry 🙄

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      TAMU had such a weird draft. Usually you'd be bragging your ass off about three DL drafted in the top two rounds except that the narrative around all three was about how badly they were misused by TAMU. LOL

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By Icege · Posted

      Many Panthers fans are already excited about second-round selection Nic Scourton for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: the Panthers needed to recharge the position group, Scourton had a late first-round grade according to many (including the Panthers), and he fit this season's modus operandi of stopping the run now and forever. However, Scourton was seen early on as one of the top-3 EDGE guys in this class but fell due to not having quite the season at Texas A&M as he did prior at Purdue (his sophomore season). It's been revealed since then a few different things that speak to that dip in production... Texas A&M, for one, requires each player on their line to be able to hold two gaps. This also explains why we saw low production across the board from the other two TA&M prospects but were still being heavily touted. Scourton was also said to have bulked up to 280lbs in order to fulfill this role and noticeably suffered from it. He's expected to play this season with Carolina at 255 - 260 which is very different from most situations. In most situations, teams are wanting players to gain 15 - 30. Since Scourton is going to be playing at his Purdue weight, I thought it would make sense to dive more into that tape. Y'all... we might have gotten something special... Let's take a quick peek at the stats before we start drooling over some highlights. First, a summary of the last two seasons for Scourton: Second, the game splits: The first thing that pops up for me is how Scourton's sack numbers were cut in half his senior year. We've already pointed out issues with scheme that impacted the TA&M linemen from racking up numbers, but seeing the game splits it's clear that Scourton didn't exactly feast on inferior competition while at Purdue. He had two two-sack games (vs. Michigan (2023 - 2024 champs), Indiana) and a 10-tackle game (vs. Nebraska). I also see the 2024 games where he went up against two top-10 tackles (Will Campbell from LSU + Armand Membou from Missouri) that I watched leading up to the draft.  For those who just want a summary: Scourton looked elite at Purdue and is going to be rotating in often during his rookie campaign. I originally had him penciled in as the second-string, strong-side edge defender behind Clowney but I wouldn't be surprised to see the team have him and Pat Jones II moving around when they rotate in in order to find where Nic looks best. Here's a highlight reel to replace that Cialias you lost in your recliner tonight:   For those that want a little more: Below I'll be linking the linking the five games I've mentioned above. If you plan to watch all of them, I highly recommend going in the order listed as that will allow you to see him vs. Campbell and then Membou while dealing with the aforementioned things he dealt with at Texas A&M before seeing him look unstoppable in 2023 when he was allowed to play both at a comfortable weight and in a scheme that didn't require him two cover two gaps nearly every play. vs. Will Campbell (2024) vs. Armand Membou (2024) vs. Nebraska (2023) vs. Michigan (2023)   vs. Indiana (2023)

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yea, i honestly think he had almost as much say as Dan.  One of the main reasons I think that is Eager has said before he was ever with the Panthers, that you trade away picks for a qb and for any other position you do pick swaps, and that's exactly what we did.
