In other words, do what they should have already done. Now we're two years into a rebuild with a bum coach and no end in sight

Yeah...drafting someone this year, regardless of who they were, likely wouldn't have worked out any better.

You have to be able to protect the qb and this line can't.

If they'd play Brown and Christensen at their natural positions and see what they had there we'd possibly be closer to fixing it, but, Rhulevera has to play the vets because...vets.

Why would any QB want to come here. With the state of our OLine, it's not even about winning championships or not. It's about not wanting your body to get beat to hell and needing a cane to stumble your cripple ass around at the age of 45.

No kidding.  We will have to draft a QB because anyone with the power to choose will not want to  play behind a line as weak as we keep putting on the field.

Absolutely…and the bad thing is if we draft a QB, how are we going to invest in the line? We have no draft picks and we could tell from this past offseason that you have to pay crazy money to even get scrub level talent like Elf who is graded as The worst pass blocking center in the league.

I don't like the either / or approach and see it as more of all of the above. We need to cleanout the deadweight on the roster, figure out as much Cap mitigation as possible and try to do it all even though we won't be able to pull that off. If a good QB is there, pull the trigger. If a LT is there pull the trigger. If we can trade back and draft 3 interior Olinemen pull the trigger. Nothing will be perfect, take best value and see what's next we can do. QB is top of the value chart when you don't have one. I would also be fine not playing them immediately. 

I'm only worried about more poor talent evaluations and making picks ignoring positional value and need.

If this is an example of what we're to expect from Rhule in the future, Tepper would do well to cut ties with Matt in the coming weeks.  No way Panthers can afford such a reckless individual to have the keys to the kingdom.  Rhule will ruin this franchise for years if he is retained for 2022.

I agree 100% with your assessment of the inept,dude of a coach, Rhule.  However, we need look no further than Tepper himself as the man responsible for approving  these type actions that are putting the Panthers building plans in complete reverse.

    • https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/onsi/xavier-legette-s-offseason-focus-could-help-unlock-panthers-wr I am going to be totally honest here: If I had to bet Xavier Legette would pass or fail--well, maybe catch on or drop (pun obviously intended), my money--err, pie in Zod's coming Huddle wagering system😅), I would pick the latter based upon what I've seen the last couple of years. But, like the writer, Preston Palm✋🏽, says, I'm going to be optimistic. Why not? It's the time of year for it, and I've told y'all before that through my fully grown skepticism, I haven't completely given up on X. I'm rooting for the kid.  X knows he can't have another year like the last, he said it himself: "My main thing is just to have a better year. I can't have another year like last year, I can't do that." He knows what's on the line. He's not dumb, however much some of you want to equate being country, or, more specifically, "talking country," with being dumb (which is kind of dumb in itself, but I digress...). X knows what's on the line, very clearly. As such, he has made some changes according to Palm ✋🏽, "Legette has looked noticeably thinner at minicamp this year and has reportedly dropped 7-9 pounds, which should alleviate some pressure on his hamstrings and not force as much impact on them every route he runs." You see, part of X's problem the last couple of seasons were his hamstrings, and now, he's focused on "bulletproofing" his hammies.  But of course X's journey hasn't just been about physical misfortunes and injuries, he knows that he hasn't displayed the best football, so he's embracing the pressure to perform, and likens it to what he did at USC (the southern version *sarcasm present*) during his time there. He exploded on the scene during his senior year, so hopefully he'll do something similar in year three of the NFL. Though we've recently seen some receivers breakout sooner, many receiver still don't break out until their third season due to the complexity of NFL route trees and such. I've never been an X hater, but I'm a realist. Still, I'm looking for X to make the jump. That would be the best for all involved.  
    • Tort is a fuging asshole. But, I love that he will keep starting Hart.
    • The two wasted first-round draft picks, Bryce and XL. If they underperform, it's time to cut bait.
