Just like Vernon Butler or Derek Brown, right?

Panthers made a mistake drafting him to play LT. Plug him in at guard and be done with it. Front office just needs to own their mistake for drafting an NFL guard #6 overall.

The Panthers are loaded with over valued 1st round picks.

Stop overreacting. Everyone knew he would need time to develop at a pass blocker but be an immediate upgrade to run blocking. His measurables, intelligence, plus athletic ability all check off that he can be a great LT. He gave a good OL coach to develop him so let’s no rush to judgement before the preseason is even over. 
Butler isn’t on the team. So you just leave out Peppers, Cam, Luke, CMC, and other first round picks we nailed? S

It's not that people didn't know he would need time, but he gave up two sacks in like 5 plays and was beat a few more times.

The Seahawks committed five offensive penalties in the first half. Cross had four of them with three false starts, and one holding penalty. He drew his fifth penalty -- another false start -- in the third quarter. Playing left tackle -- especially as a rookie -- is tough. Cross has all of the intangibles to be a franchise left tackle, but he won't do that if he's going to be drawing yellow 
 

Neal has lost several one-on-ones against Ximines, who is struggling to make a roster spot. That is not encouraging, but it is also not the end of the world. The speed of the NFL is an adjustment for even top recruits out of IMG Academy.
 

All 3 of the top LTs are struggling early. It’s almost like it’s a position that takes time to adjust from college to the NFL. Everyone screamed for a LT so which one should we have drafted? Penning allowed 3 sacks in his first preseason game also…

Yeah, this play was no big deal. He was straight up and Dugger is 220. A 220 pound dude running full speed at any OL in the NFL standing straight up is going to get knocked down.

Even the first sack was more of a teaching moment on stunts and picking it up properly. The second sack was discouraging because it was a straight up beat where Iky couldn’t get to him. Maybe it was technique but it was far more worrisome than this highlight video, which outside of fans going gaga over it, is meaningless physics.

The whole effort by the O-line, the call in general was DOA. I'm more worried about averaging 2.5 yards a carry than Ickey falling on top of a safety

Most of you want to complain about Rhule naming him the starter LT. Either you give it time and have some bumps or move him to LG. They feel "in time" he will be a better LT. Maybe they learned like with BC if they gave hm the whole year at LT. But side by side, Icky is probably going to be a better LT so they started the process now. Unless he turns out to be a bust, he will eventually be the anchor on the line for years to come. Be patient. Og right, Panther fans don't know they word.

The blocking by the actual o-line wasn't bad honestly, the problem was the TE Sullivan not securing the edge and letting the DE get outside leverage on him that busted the play.

      This is a question.  Could Coby White be a solid replacement for Ball? Seems he could be an upgrade. Seems he played well in replacement of Ball.  I normally get the highlights and don't get to see any games but I liked when White was on on the court.

      This Video was Eye Opening To me

      By Carolina Cajun · Posted

      Honestly, the guy does a TON of good research. His videos are always high quality and his insight is always stellar.  This video however changed my mind...dramatically about the draft.  Anyone who's seen my opinions knows Im a all in BPA guy, HOWEVER, this kind of changed my mind...Im now a BPA...at position of value dictated by the board.  A lot of words to say, weighted average is important. We all all know that having a good qb on a rookie contract is important, but what about a good edge...or reciever...or tackle?  THOSE things make a different and this opened my eyes to that.  With that said, not that I think we SHOULD go receiver in the first, HOWEVER, IT DOES MAKE SENSE.  If you have good young recievers coming in on rookie contracts, then you have more to build the rest of the roster at a lower cost.  If we were a team loaded at Receiver then things would be different, however, we only truly have 2 reliable WRs, so would another Receiver be a bad pick...I actually dont think so now based on value going forward.  Its just something to consider for everyone.

      Benjamin Solak on Panthers draft needs

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Yeah, it's fool's gold. Darnold always had the tools. He just needed a tram with an elite D, a top 5 WR, and a Super Bowl MVP RB to carry him so he wouldn't be asked to press where he becomes a turnover machine. Darnold settled in once he was in a situation where he could just be a very talented game manager. People try to tell themselves Bryce can do that without realizing that Darnold still forces the D to respect the throws he can make that the coaches would rather he not attempt where as Bryce simply doesn't have the physical ability to force that respect opening up other opportunities. Like Parcells said leading up to the draft that based on his physical tool set "he better walk on water". What he was politely trying to say is that Bryce simply doesn't have an NFL physical tool set.
