If he wasn't a bust, he'd still be with Detroit. He has never played anywhere near a first round level, much less the number 10 pick. That's a bust. Now that's not to say that he can't be a halfway productive TE or at least a red zone threat.

He’s actually had a pretty solid career for a TE. Not an “elite” guy but he’s been a pretty solid starter especially as probably your #3 or #4 option.

Yeah, I can't sign off on that "most collective talent" comment. We have had some insanely talented OL in the history of this franchise. Outside of Moton and maybe(HOPEFULLY) Ickey, none of these guys would make a top 10-15 in our history. 

Frankly, I think top 25 is a big stretch. 

1-10 I dont see a equal. 1-4 sure there were some better groups. The Norwell-Kalil-Turner for 2.5 years was as good as ANY interior in the NFL(people always say Cam had no OL and thats wrong). Gross-Wharton-Kalil was another great combo.

Ickey- 6th overall 1st OL pick

Christ- 2021 3rd, gettin fluff, High RAS 

MJ- fine depth

ELF- sucks. strength is out in space and pulling

Colbert- 33rd overall in his draft class, still young and good

Mo Town- Im not the biggest fan, but hes solid

Erv- 19th overall, one of the few players in the NFL thats able to play all 5 spot(bad at most)

Mays- Good proven SEC player rookie

Brown- Super dark horse and is looking like he remains in the shadow

Boze- started on good team for yrs and was a leader and well liked by teammates.

Daley- gots a few starts on resume some at LT, cannot stay healthy

Teck- Baylor all-star and knows his role is on PS, he accepts 

Horton- been on PS for 2 years, looks like hes pushing for 2nd reps by reports

Pleasants- had maybe the best PS game as a player. Leveled up and hopefully he lands back on PS

 

I cannot member the last time the guys at 9-14 being this good. Plus the starting unit of Ickey-Christ-Boze-Colbert-Mo town could have 03, 15 results if not for the huge over-haul to player/coaches.

I mean, you kind of lay out my case for why this isn't a good unit but just view it as a good unit.

I don't think we are gonna agree on this. Let the season play out and we can revisit the "most collective talent" comment.

Not going to act like ELF, daley, and erv got huge issues. Still Erv as your swing tackle aka #8 OL is a good thing. Daley should get cut, and if youre cutting a young player that had around 35 starts(some at LT) that a good reflection on talent. Elf should not be starting, but boze got a 3 week ankle deal. If Christ is in fact one of the best panthers and Colbert is like a OG Mo town.....it should cover up many of Elfs issues until boze returns.

Right side- average to Great.

C- awaiting Boze return/awful ELf.

Left side- two studs with elite potential.

Bench- legit players with great spot starters, no issues.

Yeah, he's been solid, but not a top TE. I think he's worth a middling TE contract.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By L-TownCat · Posted

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

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

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
