The number of people who want to draft a tiny center at #6 overall is amazing to me.

Let's compare combine numbers....

Tyler Linderbaum Combine Numbers

  • 6'2"
  • 296 pounds
  • 31 1/8 arms
  • 10" hands

Ryan Kalil Combine Numbers

  • 6'2"
  • 299 pounds
  • 31 1/2 arms
  • 10" hands

Let's leave it to Matt Rhule to get too caught up in those numbers. If Linderbaum can be the next Ryan Kalil for us for the next decade, I have no problem with him at #6. I would also be fine with one of the top LT's at #6, and picking up (Browns former Center) JC Tretter if possible.

Team is fixed 

Why would you spend $8m a year on a player who might become a good center when a proven good center just hit the market because he was a cap casualty because he was due around $8m?

Another way to look at it:

Pay Armstead $20m to play LT and draft Linderbaum to play center at $8m

or

Pay a FA like Tretter around $8-10 a year, or less, to play Center and draft a LT such as Cross to play LT at $8m a year.

You basically just saved $10 to $12 million that you can spend on another free agent.

I don't want us taking linderbaum at 6 but would be fine with litte trade back then pick,  but stuff like this is irrelevant.  Tom brady had a terrible combine and ran a 40 measured on a Mayan calendar, Sam darnolds combine was supposed to be good enough to make him the #1 pick so picking and choosing comparisons for the sake of argument is just a poor argument.

Jfc one was a second round pick, not #6

That's cute, but Ryan Kalil wouldn't be worth the 6th overall pick either, even if there was a guarantee he'd be that good.

      I pay it no mind I am what people would deride as xenophobic.  Meaning I preferred what we were doing in America and thought we had about the best sports and music. Actually we did.  I saw soccer as inferior and as the game of heathens to be honest, some of those third world countries were all about it. They’re all rioting and fighting and I even remember Saddam Hussein was said to have had players executed for not playing well. You can keep that lol.  Bring it back to the Panthers, XL you better tighten it up. Tepper will put it on you .  We have the best sports and music I’ll just say it again. I hate to see youths losing interest in football and baseball. sorry back to the Panthers

      Panthers podcast shuts down due to team’s poor performance

      I think anyone around here at this point is truly a fan (or masochist) and yet another disappointing season doesn’t matter. Where’s that converted Jets fan lol…wonder if this is worse or better. But I remember when this joint first started (third username) and it was much busier. Even when places like Reddit started taking over in place of forums. My newish girl didn’t have a NFL team but liked college football and loves watching. Last year I got Her a Panther shirt she wears on game days. She was excited. But I’ll be damned it’s near impossible to get anyone to be a fan of this team, she says now they just aren’t exciting despite still watching with me and wearing her shirt. Tepper is just pure poo.

      Oh man I didn't know Dalton finished up the game in garbage time and got that last 7 points lol. Watching the replay I know backups were in but that resembled something closer to actual NFL football than the first 3 and a half quarters.
