Could this guy be in play at #6 or is that a stretch given the talent this year ( legit question )? I like what I'm hearing. A mean streak on the O-Line would be breath of fresh air. 

I've seen him mocked to us at 6.

Don't know if that's realistic or not.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if the FO have him above Cross due to his physicality and Cross's lack of run blocking tape. I think the "if you run 28 times a game then you win" thing is pretty dumb but if you're a big believer, I can see how you'd talk yourself into this guy. 

Rhule wants a run heavy offense.

I'm wondering it this is true, or just what he says?

That said, ball control and good defense should be the name of the game this season if he's trying to keep his job.

Or protect a rookie QB. 

My theory lately is they are going to try to replicate Mac Jones success last year. Running game, defense, and have your QB do just enough while he adapts to the NFL.

Unfortunately, that should have been the plan from day 1....instead he brings in a college passing game consultant who had never called plays.

I mean, what he said/says...and what we saw him do for 2 years...was and still is confusing.

Rhule can't seriously think that he can keep his job with a rookie QB back there...but I've seen dumber things happen...hell...he's still here.

The Cross has no run blocking tape is lazy and stupid. He started his Freshman year in a pro style offense and showed a mean streak. Just because his last two years were in an Air Raid offense doesn't mean the tape isn't there. He is the best pure LT in this draft, period. No one is better in pass protection and he is as good as the rest in run blocking. Several others who will get drafted as LT will end up as RT or G due to lack of lateral quickness for NFL pass rushers. That's a waste for top 10 picks. Cross is a prototypical LT and will start there for some team for the next decade.

I completely agree with you. I can only hope that the FO gets it right.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By strato · Posted

      We’re in a pickle. My best hope is we protect him and can run the ball vs most Ds and the WRs are healthy so he has every chance to not look like what he looked like in too many games last year.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.
