What is this about? That sounds stupid.

Sounds about like BC's arm length issue. 

TMJ made it to the NFL running how he runs.  It works.  Next thing we know they are going to talk about the fact Corral sometimes will revert to some Phillip Rivers style mechanics to get the ball out quick and they will get over focused on that.

Yeah, I get it.

I've posted this before, but in the second half of 2019, Darnold went 6-2 with 61% passing and just under 2000 yards.  His TD-to-Int ratio was 13-4.

That guy was pretty good.  If he shows up again, we might have a puncher's chance.

I don't believe he's a long-term solution, but I think he's better than what we saw in the second half of 2021.

There is no need to be delusional about this. The facts are there for anyone who seeks the information.

You do know most of the coaches that left were hired elsewhere? Not sure coaching will have the complete turnaround you believe 

I am pretty sure most here would agree that the new coaches hired are significant upgrades over who was here previously and it isn't a debate.  Anyone who knows anything about football can see the obvious upgrades. We went from guys with little to no NFL experience to guys who were coordinators before and in the case of McAdoo  and Wilkes both were also head coaches. Campen is a proven commodity as a line coach and Tabor is considered one of the best special teams coordinator in the league. Even if we hadn't upgraded our personnel we would have been better this year based on coaching alone.

That is high praise from a guy that likely does not like the Panthers.

He actually likes the Panthers and his family has had season tickets in the 500s behind the west endzone for some time.  He quietly went to a ton of games with his grandson very lowkey in 553 in the 2000s and 2010s up until he became more of a fixture at ESPN and moved more permanently out of the area.

Wow. Just wow. …traded into the second to get this guy and they ‘reworking his gai’

This sounds stupid and I’m not sure I believe it but gait coaching is absolutely a thing and it’s becoming more and more popular at the youth level. It’s a huge deal in youth soccer for the real promising players. 
 

Basically different ways of running make you more likely to tear something. Sammy Watkins can’t stay healthy because he runs on the outside of his feet. it makes him very agile but his ligaments just can’t handle it. 

 

In this case though I think Rhule is lying to protect darnolds psyche or whatever. The real reason Marshall didn’t do anything is that the number three receiver and a rookie straight up wasn’t doing anything in this offense last year. I don’t care if it was Randy moss out there.

good points about trying to correct the gait and you're probably also right about this more trying to make darnold not look like the tunnel visioned goon he is. i know that tannehill got counseling, but darnold probably needs it more. i'm hoping that his next team will make it available.

What is the source for that btw?  Best I can find is a tweet from a podcaster.

I don’t if Marshall is going through it (and again I doubt that’s the reason) but gait coaching itself is very real and established. All the big camps/training universities are doing it. And all the top soccer kids get it around the world. 
 

track and field has been doing it forever. Different gaits and foot strikes for sprinting v endurance etc

I was talking about the fact that the Panthers are helping Marshalls gait.  Is there a source for that?

I heard on a podcast suggesting we start Corral sooner rather than later. 
If he does well we have our starting QB of the future. If he doesn’t then we do poorly, Rhule is fire and we draft high enough to get a QB. 

Great plan. I'm all for it. Given that he's the person who decides starters and playing time, I wonder what Rhule thinks of this idea.

Zod always has some odd posts. Should change his user to Z'odd. Cuz my my first Impression is thatz'odd.

Anyway, Corral is not the most exciting player since Cam Newton. Not even close.

McCaffrey, Burns, Moore, Luke Kuechly?

I mean come on dude. Soon as those guys hit the field we knew what we had. Matt Corral is a big ole question mark, yeah there is some hope behind him. But he's 3rd round QB that we hope lives us up to first round talent. Let's not get carried away, hype up the fan base, preach to them that this season is the year of years. Like you do every season. Let's temper our expectations and observe. Let these rookies have an opportunity before you make everyone grab their pitchforks for Pete's sake. Give the kid a shot before you crown him the next king of the franchise.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Crixtala · Posted

      all the trades and using PFFs draft rankings and Gemini's analysis: This is a high-value mock draft that effectively uses trade-down strategies to rebuild the Carolina Panthers' defensive interior and add depth to a roster with multiple holes. By turning mid-round capital into a volume of picks, you've secured several "sliding" stars and developmental high-ceiling players. Based on 2026 PFF big board trends and player value, here is the analysis: Draft Grade: A- The Top Picks: Interior Dominance  * 19. Peter Woods (DT, Clemson): Getting Woods at 19 is a steal. Heading into the 2025 season, he was viewed as a potential top-5 talent. While his production dipped slightly, his 4.75 40-yard dash at 315 lbs is elite. He provides the Panthers with a versatile disruptor who can play 3-tech or slide outside.  * 63. Dontay Corleone (DT, Cincinnati): "The Godfather" is one of the best pure nose tackles in the class. Pairing him with Woods creates an immediate identity for the Panthers' front seven. PFF loves his "unmovable" anchor. Securing him at the end of Round 2 after trading down from 51/53 is excellent value. The Mid-Round Steals  * 83. Deontae Lawson (LB, Alabama): Lawson is a high-IQ "green dot" linebacker. Many scouts projected him as a late 1st or early 2nd rounder before an ACL injury in late 2024. Getting a 2-time Alabama captain at 83 to lead the defense is a massive win for culture and stability.  * 130. Drew Allar (QB, Penn State): This is the "high-upside lottery ticket" pick. Allar has prototypical size (6'5", 240 lbs) and a massive arm. His stock fell due to a 2025 ankle injury and inconsistency, but at 130, he’s a low-risk, high-reward backup/successor to Bryce Young if the former No. 1 pick continues to struggle. Trade Analysis & Late Round Value Your strategy of "tier-dropping" (trading 51 for 53/121 and 53 for 63/95) allowed you to stay in the same talent bracket while picking up Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR) and Genesis Smith (S).  * 168. Parker Brailsford (OC, Alabama): Great value for a technical center who can compete for a depth spot.  * 169. Tacario Davis (CB, Washington): At 6'4", he is a rare physical specimen at corner. PFF and other boards often have him as a Day 2 talent; getting him in the 5th round (via the 161 trade) is arguably your best value pick of the draft. Summary of Picks | Pick | Player | Position | School | Analysis | | 19 | Peter Woods | DT | Clemson | Elite traits; Top-10 ceiling. | | 63 | Dontay Corleone | DT | Cincinnati | Best run stuffer in the class. | | 83 | Deontae Lawson | LB | Alabama | Vocal leader; sliding due to injury. | | 121 | Kevin Coleman Jr. | WR | Missouri | Speed threat to complement the room. | | 130 | Drew Allar | QB | Penn State | High-ceiling developmental passer. | | 169 | Tacario Davis | CB | Washington | Massive reach/length for a late flyer. | Final Verdict You addressed the trenches aggressively and took advantage of "injury discounts" on Lawson and Allar. The only minor critique is that the roster still feels thin at Edge (until the 211 pick), but the sheer volume of talent added to the interior DL and Secondary compensates for it.
