PFF - best and worst 2021 NFL free agent signings

WORST

 

OC/OG Pat Elflein, signed with the Panthers for three years, $11.5 million

Another of the curious moves the Panthers made last offseason was prioritizing Elflein and Cam Erving during the first days of free agency, bringing in two players who had an extensive history of sub-par play along the offensive line. Neither player exceeded expectations in Year 1, as Elflein played just 534 snaps and earned a 42.0 PFF pass-blocking grade and a 50.1 overall mark. Elflein accrued multiple games with a PFF grade under 30, and he earned below-average marks as a run-blocker in every game except one.

I thought Elflein was playing somewhat better as a C at the end of the season.  Maybe a little below league average but OK.   However PFF puts him as one of the worst C in the league.  Ouch !

pre injury PFF had fat Matt paradis as one of the best centers in the league and he has been abysmal with Carolina. What’s your point, Ventura?

Oh and another NFL WORST signing was Sam Darnold (when his extension is included).  So it's a twofer for the Panthers.   Yay ! 

If we would have built around him I would think he would be better. We did exactly what the jets did to him. Sad really. I don’t want to do the Watson deal because I want to build it up. We do this, we don’t compete for another 3 years.

To be fair, you could put a tackling dummy at center and it would be better than Paradis.

We've had some bad offensive line play on this franchise but I think he's easily among the worst.  He reminds me of that French Canadian guy (Foucaults something or other I don't remember) that got shoved in at tackle against the Eagles on MNF on 2014 because of injuries to the Bell/Chandler juggernaut. 

I remember watching a replay from one of our godawful wastes of an afternoon last year where Paradis got bull rushed into Darnold's lap without getting so much as a hand on the defender.  He snapped the ball and just got moved backwards ten yards.  Sadly I agree that Elflein is probably an upgrade over him.

LOL! Why? He's fuging terrible.

No choices. Limited cap. No worthwhile player wants to come here. Poor evaluating by coaching. And finally a gutted draft.

There are simply no options.

Considering the state and future of the team in 2019, this is called regressing.

Also known as invisible progressing according to Rhule.

      At this point, I think Chubba is the odd man out. I hate that, but I think Dowdle gives us more production and big play ability.  But there is still a lot of football to play.  I think it depends on how much Dowdle will want too.

      I’ve been anti-trade when it comes to Melo, but the way this season has started, it may be time.  I love his game and he’s a cool dude, but I’m starting to think, if he’s your best player, you’re never going to win anything of significance.  Too many brain farts, too many injuries, and ultimately for as fun and entertaining as he is to watch - his game is indeed a thing of beauty - it just doesn’t translate to wins.  And that’s IF he even plays.  I think it’s time to cash out and maximize the return.  I love Melo, but I think it’s pretty clear what the ceiling is for a team where he is the best player.

      Every NFL team, college program, hell even HS has numerous "what ifs" that got derailed by injury. It's a brutal sport and half the battle is just getting lucky enough to stay healthy. Doesn't matter how durable you are and how well you take care of your body everyone is one weird hit or awkward twist away from a career derailing injury.
