You can win with him at C. He's horrible at G - he's just too small. 

Too small?

Do you know how big Corbett is?

Panthers won with him at guard. Panthers got destroyed with him at center. He is an unathletic waist bender who gets bull rushed into the QB at center.

Yeah he was our best center last year which is an incredibly low bar. I think we roll with him there one more year and replace the center position next year.

Brady is a tackle. I don’t give a poo about arm length and Rhule shouldn’t either

While your argument is compelling, if we find a better LT in free agency (and I doubt it) BC becomes the LG.  That is what I meant when I said, "Brady is a LG--hopefully" It means we have upgraded 2 positions.

Ideally we would upgrade that spot and Brady would be the first tackle off the bench. I don’t believe he will ever make guard. He does not possess the lower body to handle 315 DTs every snap.

His problem at guard last year was getting sit down. At tackle, mental errors and lunging, feel much better about fixing those.

FWIW, I wanted him at LT all season--too good an athlete.  However, they seem determined to make him a LG--and I think, if we move the pocket and pull him in the run game, he could be decent there--with experience.  The fact that he played no real position in 2021 is an outrage.  We saw him vs. 2 teams at LT play well--and there are so many different kinds of DEs/OLBs in the NFL, it takes several games to get a good feel.  If I were playing vs. BC, I would get a 280 lb DE and bull rush him.  Not sure he saw that in the last few games.

I don't think you watched the same games as the rest of us. Elflein was constantly bullied at guard. He actually looked serviceable at center.

      I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.

      summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "

      this one is gold:     Bryce has a cult inside the Panthers fanbase that has truly developed some NPC hivemind. I'll never understand how he's captured the true essence of the casual fan like that.
