now that we are keeping derrick brown for sure, davis would be a bit overkill at the position. i think the idea was to pair brown with someone who can play the three technique like matt ioannidis has who can rush the passer and can get thin enough to take advantage of other teams needing extra help on brown. think some version of star and kk short with brown playing star. for all the edge pressure we got last season with burns, haynes, and reddick we didn't get much from the tackle beside brown. davis is probably going to play over the ball a bit like brown. 

 

Yep and hopefully having Nixon come back healthy along with ioannidis will give us the pass rush up the middle

When it comes to O-line, we've got to quit being the suckers that always buy the old beater that was only driven on Sundays by a little old lady. Maybe this is one of those better to pass ons.

We've got a couple of good vet pick ups to help solidify the line. Let's build with some youth there.

Armstead is better than anyone we have currently and probably in the draft as well. Unless we go OT round one and there is better talent at other positions.

Armstead is a weird target for us. It made all the sense in the world when we were in DW mode. I don’t get it anymore unless we’re trying to acquire another vet QB. 
 

I guess they could be so enamored with the rookie QBs they know they’re gonna pass on a LT. But man….heck of a contrast bt the LT talent and QB talent in this class.

Well I can make sense of it. 

For one it doesn't put us in a position to choose a stop gap so we can pick QB in the first round. 

Two it allows us probably 3 years to play the draft or develop our own talent. 

That's why it makes sense.

In a OT rich environment like this year's draft, I think I'd want to use the draft pick over an expensive LT that is being released by a team that needs a LT...

Just saying.

Depends entirely how the Panthers brass views the QBs in this year's draft. Which none of us do.

I guess it comes down to do you trust Rhule to find a QB or OT in round 3 or later. Me personally I don't trust him to find a QB or LT round 1 because we wiffed on both last year.

Did Armstead get released? I think he is a FA and probably too expensive for NO to resign.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By frankw · Posted

      Oh please with the wallowing in victimhood I'm going to take my ball and go home routine. You were just in here referring to people as super weird haters because they don't completely agree with your borderline delusional spin on what Bryce Young is and isn't as a fourth year starter. We can hope by some miracle that Bryce Young will actually be able to lead a formidable passing offense this season without being irrational homers and pretending verfiable data and what we have seen with our own two eyes doesn't tell us exactly what he has been to this point which is someone who moves the ball at a historically low rate.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By OldhamA · Posted

      I am curious who's behind all of this though. A video and photos from years ago surfacing? Someone has a vendetta and is driving this PR campaign. I'm loving it, but I'd also like to know who said mystery figure is.

      I say positive things about Bryce when he earns them. Which he has a handful of times. It is all here and on the record but your lobby won’t focus on that or the flat out truth inside of our critical comments.  It is a constant thing with him and his backers - one or two good things and people are trying to extrapolate that to proof we should commit to him, while ignoring or making excuses for the larger portion of his track record.  When he is able to consistently turn in franchise QB extension worthy outings the tone of the posts will reflect that.  I have already said that if he would play like he did in the WC as often as we need him to, I would be okay with keeping him.  See you don’t want to talk about that though because it shows actual fair minded evaluation not stanning.
