Elflein Restructures

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.

    • 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.
    • 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.
