Discounting BC so soon, eh? Your opinion seems to be at odds with Campen's. Indeed, PFF scored him in the mediocre range his rookie season, and I'd expect him to get better.

I don't expect much. I will accept being wrong. Never can have too many quality OL.

But, no, my hopes for BC are that he eventually becomes a good backup.

Pretty drab first minicamp huh

I mean...it's mini camp, not training camp. I wouldn't get too excited unless we saw a major injury. That's about the only thing that should really move the needle.

Great play or terrible play....meh. We will see what happens in TC.

I'm not saying to expect him to be an All-Pro, but you sound like you're taking the glass-half-empty perspective before the kid can even show you what he's got.  Now I don't have a PFF subscription, but I'll take an inferior site's word for it (I won't link it because I know there is/used to be some discrimination here against the site, but you can look it up if you want):

"Outside of Brady Christensen’s Week 7 spot start at left tackle, he didn’t start there again until Weeks 16-18. And how did he perform in those three games against pretty stiff competition from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (twice) and the New Orleans Saints? His average pass block grade in Weeks 16-18 from PFF was a solid 73."

The an inferior site article was pretty scathing in reference to Rhule wasting snaps on obviously inferior vetarans, by the way.

He didn't show much that much in limited time. He strikes me as a project without a clear landing spot.

I will point out that Mike Wahle looked at some tape(older 4 Man Rush podcast) and came away with largely the opinion that the gulf was noticeable between him becoming a quality NFL OL and where he was last year. He didn't seem to be too enthusiastic about his prospects.

Yeah I just mean from a media coverage standpoint. I guess Tepper or Rhule are still being uptight about it, like they have some genius play calls they don't want the world to see

Yeah, I don't expect coverage to ever be as good as it was pre-Tepper.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
