I get that with certain positions, for example, Darnold and Mayfield were both ass last year so make one of them earn it.

Bozeman on the other hand was milessssss better than any of the guards or centers on our roster last year.

I’m sure he will be here too once he learns the concepts and builds time with the coaches and others on the line. 

You get valuable experience on the second unit too.

He’s not on the second unit though, they have him running a lot with first team LG.

A lot of mixing and matching going on right now.

Bozeman at first team LG then second team C, guys are all over the place right now.

Elflein still appears to be running as 1C in drills, doesn’t make sense. Bozeman was an above average center last year with the Ravens and is somehow behind Elflein.

It would only make sense if the Panthers truly believe that Christensen can’t play guard and are forced to put Bozeman there.

If Darnold isn't going to be the QB1 but Baker has to take reps with the 2s for the sake of appearances, then you put the new C1 with the twos also. Now both Baker and Bozeman can be said to have "won" their spots as starters during practice AND got meaningful reps together to get their exchange down.

Good points. Likely all about just trying to find the best 5 and encourage interchangeability and understanding each other’s roles.

OL play in the NFL has a lot to do with chemistry between the lineman.   Playing next to guys and learning how the guy next to you handles things.  

No reason for him to not be at center.   It’s college coach Rhule showing himself.   Same with the QB “competition”.  In the end end he is just robbing guys of reps they need.   Both guys are new and can use all the starting look reps they can get  with the starters.

That’s not the case though, they keep switching QB’s while leaving the lines in tact. In reality neither the OL or QB’s are building continuity. It’s a hodgepodge right now.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
