According to another article I read written by Newton, Elflein had (going from memory--did not save the link) something like a 64 PFF grade as a guard, and was rated at 90 (above Moton's 87) as a center.  Perhaps Newton is basing his assumption about Elflein on these numbers.

Isn’t a PFF rating of 50 “average” to them?  His play definitely seemed below average, so if that’s average may God help us.  Our interior is horrific.  We need OL help, period.  Trade down and get more picks?  Great!  Pick the stud at 6?  Great!  I don’t care how they do it, but this line is so devoid of talent aside from a couple guys.

I told you after about 3 weeks of Elf playing C, he wasnt dogshit and maybe can be counted on for future. Hes not in Kalil of "not worry about finding a upgrade." Panthers need help and if Elf can limit for one less "find replacement" thats soooooo needed. 

My OL hope is as follows-

LT- 2022 1st(even with trading back)

LG- Chirst

C-Elf

RG- FA or Brown or Erv or trade or UDFA savior or PS surpise

RT- Moton

Still need swing tackle, 6th OLman, young project in order for 8 men game day jerseys. Need a miracle worker as OL coach too.

Sign James Daniels in free agency. 24 year old guard with experience at center. 5 years/50 mil. This locks up a guard spot with positional flexibility. 
 

Then we can try Elf at center and see if it works through the first third of the 22 season. 
 

Im currently undecided between targeting a QB or T in the 1st. Right now I would love to trade back and pick Cross somewhere in the 10-15 range and acquire some day 2 picks. 
 

I would be hopeful with a line of 

Cross-Christensen-Elf-Daniels-Moton

QB in 23 and try to sign Trubisky to compete with Darnold in 22 (aka start over Darnold).

      XL could easily be the last dog at the bowl for WR production next year.  That could leave him around 200-300 yards which would be disastrous.

      Well sure, that's where the disconnect is then. If Thielen only gets 300-400 yards and T-Mac is healthy for the full season, then I'm with you guys, in that scenario there is absolutely zero excuse for him to not put up over 1,000 yards.   In fact, I'll let you double that, if Thielen has only 600 yards, then again, my expectations are for T-Mac to surpass the 1k mark with ease. But his game has never been about his physical abilities, so even if he loses a half a step, he's still the same player who is a savvy route runner who will get open and Bryce will continue to find him due to their chemistry.  Particularly since Bryce isn't a QB who forces things, he takes what the defense gives him.  So when teams focus on T-Mac and Thielen is more free to find those holes in the defense than he has the last two years, I don't think Bryce is going to ignore him. If someone wants to argue for T-Mac getting to 1,000 yards, personally, I'd say those yards would be far more likelier to come from XL and Coker than Thielen.  And that has nothing to do with XL or Coker, but that I'm still a firm believer in Thielen being able to still get 50-60 yards a game, again, particularly as he'll have less defensive attention on him than in either of his 2 seasons with us so far. Just because T-Mac is our #1 of the future who will have the ball forced to him at times, doesn't mean he needs to be forced into that role from day 1 when we have 3 very legitimate WR options next to him. Let the rookie grow into the role and the NFL game, we have that ability to do so because of Thielen, XL, and Coker.

      Spot on. He's only 20 and his height 6'2 and weight 230lbs might make him more of an off-ball LB possibility. He's a multi-year project
