Sounds like a "say something bombastic for a reaction guy".

Basically a dumbsh-t...

Basically he thinks the team is way worse than it is and wants to trade anyone. Burns, Moore, Moton, anyone. The thing is, you actually got to replace those guys you give away. You cant just automatically assume you are going to draft equal or better talent. Why trade any of those guys for a few picks that may end up sucking? Besides, Rhule was the biggest problem the team had anyway.

For the line specifically, he said he doesnt see this line being together in the next 2 or 3 years, so go ahead and trade anyone there while you can. Thats when he brought up trading Moton and moving Ickey. Today he said to give Wilks a 3 year contract and tell him to get us out of this mess.

Also today, he doesnt understand why Rodgers is getting flack for what he said and not Brady. He even played their clips and it was obvious why. Rodgers completely threw everyone else under the bus. Brady involved himself, but Gold dismissed that and said it was just the ``royal we`` and he was doing the samething. 

I wish we had better sports radio over air. Its all I listen to in my work van. The OG show is alright, but Joe Ovies is another idiot with trash takes like Gold. Ironically, those 2 used to be on the same radio show together a few years ago.

Too bad we couldn't give Cam a decent offensive line. The only thing those teams were missing

Cam's pocket presence was seriously underrated. He must've cut our sacks in half nearly every season. Early in his career he'd sometimes hold the ball for too long but other than that it was mostly very good. Footwork wasn't the greatest but he had a great internal clock, something a lot of mobile QBs don't have and he didn't get spooked and start running in circles behind the LOS at the first sign of pressure. Cam with a good OL would've been even more of a terror, I mean hell we saw it for ourselves in 2015.

Umm they collapsed? Beautiful would quantify them holding that so the QB doesn’t get pressure?

Don't get what you're talking about lol. That was about 3-4 seconds of time before PJ moved over to the left and locked on his target.

That's a whole lot more time than the average, and only reason they got past was due to PJ's movement when we was ready to throw. 

They held well, Chuba picked up well, and it was all great execution and gave PJ plenty of time to let routes develop then hit his target.

Amazing how we overreact to one decent game. PJ had 60 yards passing just a week ago vs Rams 

Hah. Fair point, I'm certainly not crowning PJ the next Cam Newton. Certainly far from the answer at QB unless proven otherwise. 

It'd be silly to assume this becomes PJ's standard with so much other tape to the contrary.

But the offensive line was the main standout. Gave PJ plenty of time to progress through his reads and lock on for that throw. That should be the main takeaway.

that was just a beautiful play all around. i mean PJ looked like a real playmaking QB there, but he looked good all game. it's just weird. and the OL... that's what we've needed for over a decade. 

i think rhule was maybe trying to help people's self-esteem and make himself look like their mentor or something, but the truth is he was holding everyone back. he got in their heads. that's what he does. so glad he's gone.

To your first point, that was also a surprise. After PJ's preseason, I had little hope myself he'd turn out to even be serviceable. And while hindsight shows that the game plan against the Rams was to showcase CMC and maximize his trade value, it still didn't look encouraging for PJ.

I'd say a lot had to do with how bad the Bucs CBs were. They allowed our wideouts to get a lot more separation than they normally had, plus, well, we arguably had a better offensive plan as well. So PJ had some good windows to throw to, keeping drives going.

Even so, it was impressive seeing our offensive line hold up against a pretty elite DL, and PJ making some damn tough throws too when the windows were tight. That was pretty shocking. Plus, well, PJ doesn't lock onto his first read and goes through his progressions, a trait rarely seen from Mayfield and Darnold.

Maybe it was a fluke, or maybe he'll continue a good high level of play. Not expecting the latter, but hell I wouldn't complain.

This team has gotten more interesting after Rhule for sure. Players seem inspired, everyone's giving their all. It's a breath of fresh air and a good sign for things to come.

The way out moronic, misinformed statements are why i make a point never listen to Adam Gold

Hell, Colin Cowherd's nationwide and he made a couple of massive blunders in the last few weeks.

That guy is the hero of "say something stupid for a reaction" radio hosts everywhere.

The offensive line was really solid the end of 2014 through 2015. Hence the 22-2 run. How quickly we forget after one win. Injuries killed that OL in 2016 (Oher and Ryan were big hits). Oher’s career ended, Ryan never really recovered from the shoulder/neck injury, Norwell left, Turner got lazy and that was it.

Very happy that we are finally back to that level.

I hope in the coming weeks panthers account posts a contract extension for boze. When was the same time a good OL group remained the same next season? hmm....

Man, it's day and night seeing how well the Panthers offensive line is performing this season.

In the wake of PJ Walker's impressive performance last Sunday, credit the offensive line for allowing it to happen.

Beautiful pass, but even more beautiful offensive line work. Absolute wall just keeping back the Bucs pass rush from even doing anything.

Get some consistency out of the QB position, and the Panthers could really be a force in the future.

Easily the best OL we have had in many, many seasons!

    • Per PFF: 1. CB Jermod McCoy, Tennessee Volunteers McCoy's medical evaluations will be critical, but based on his measurables and 2024 tape, he profiles as a first-round talent with shutdown potential in press-man coverage. 2. CB Keith Abney II, Arizona State Sun Devils Abney's lack of length and top-tier athleticism may limit him to zone schemes, but his competitiveness and run-defense mentality make him a valuable rotational defensive back with starter potential. 3. CB Keionte Scott, Miami (FL) Hurricanes Scott is a tone-setter in run defense with a physical mentality. His zone coverage is adequate, but man coverage limitations may restrict his role. 4. WR Skyler Bell, Connecticut Huskies Bell looked uncoverable at times against his level of competition in his final season and, despite below-average size and athleticism, produced like a top-100 prospect as a productive slot receiver. 5. WR Bryce Lance, North Dakota State Bison Lance dominated FCS competition as a versatile “X” receiver. He moves well for his size and pairs that with reliable contested-catch production, giving him a strong case as an early Day 3 pick with the potential to develop into a contributing NFL receiver. 6. ED Joshua Josephs, Tennessee Volunteers Josephs has an appealing blend of size and explosiveness but must improve his technique and anticipation to reach his potential. 7. ED Dani Dennis-Sutton, Penn State Nittany Lions Dennis-Sutton projects best as a 3-4 defensive end with some 4-3 flexibility. His length and size are clear strengths, though his agility in space is more limited. With ascending play, he could be drafted higher than his current tape suggests. 8. DI Gracen Halton, Oklahoma Sooners Halton is an undersized, versatile defensive lineman who wins with quickness, effort and movement skills. His lack of strength can be an issue, but he fits well in multiple or movement-based fronts. 9. HB Mike Washington Jr., Arkansas Razorbacks Washington brings alluring size, straight-line speed and yards-after-contact potential as a power back, but also noticeably good vision and footwork to be a potential early-down back in a committee in a man- or gap-scheme run game. 10. WR Elijah Sarratt, Indiana Hoosiers Sarratt may profile as a below-average athlete for an NFL “X” receiver, but there is still plenty to like in his game. His strong hands, coordination and determination at the catch point — combined with his constant competitiveness — give him starter potential as an outside WR2 in offenses that value jump-ball opportunities. 11. WR Deion Burks, Oklahoma Sooners Burks' size and production do not clearly point to a future NFL contributor, but his athleticism and strength make him difficult to dismiss. He offers intriguing upside as an explosive slot receiver, though he may not fit every scheme. 12. DI Darrell Jackson Jr., Florida State Seminoles Jackson is a massive, powerful defensive tackle with imposing physical traits. When his hand usage is right, he can be dominant, but inconsistency in technique and processing limits his impact. He remains a high-upside prospect. 13. C Connor Lew, Auburn Tigers Lew is a technically sound center with excellent leverage, balance and posture. His consistent fundamentals allow him to win positioning battles, though he can struggle against top-end power due to his lighter build. His upside is high given his age and technique. 14. LB Kyle Louis, Pittsburgh Panthers Louis is an undersized linebacker who projects best as a versatile space defender. In the right role, he can be an impact nickel player thanks to his explosiveness and coverage ability. 15. S Kamari Ramsey, USC Trojans Ramsey provides versatility with the ability to play both safety spots and the slot, particularly in two-high looks. His lighter build and good — but not elite — athleticism cap his ceiling. 16. CB Chandler Rivers, Duke Blue Devils Rivers logged 3,186 defensive snaps across four seasons at Duke and allowed just one touchdown in coverage in 2025, with a sub-85.0 passer rating when targeted for the third straight year. He earned a 90.7 PFF grade in 2024 before taking a step back in 2025. Over the past three seasons, he has been flagged just four times while playing more than 70% of his snaps on the outside. 17. C Sam Hecht, Kansas State Wildcats Hecht delivered a strong 2025 campaign, earning an 80.3 PFF overall grade that ranked fourth among centers. He brings a balanced profile, ranking 10th in PFF run-blocking grade (77.7) while holding up adequately in pass protection. Across 759 snaps, he allowed just seven pressures, with zero sacks and zero quarterback hits, and committed no penalties. 18. CB Devin Moore, Florida Gators Moore is an appealing Day 2 prospect with a strong blend of length, speed and ball skills for press-man coverage, though his injury history could impact his draft position. 19. G Jalen Farmer, Kentucky Wildcats Farmer put together a solid but unspectacular 2025 season, earning a 69.8 PFF overall grade that ranked 93rd among guards. His best work came in pass protection, where his 72.4 PFF pass-blocking grade ranked 256th, while his 67.4 run-blocking grade ranked 113th. Across 818 snaps, he allowed 14 pressures, including three sacks and no quarterback hits, and committed one penalty. 20. ED LT Overton, Alabama Crimson Tide Overton fits best as a 3-4 defensive end with inside-out versatility. He can contribute in a 4-3 as a power end, but his lack of bend and stride length limits his ability to consistently threaten the edge. 21. QB Garrett Nussmeier, LSU Tigers Nussmeier brings NFL bloodlines and a polished, foundational approach to the position, traits that fuel his confidence as a vertical pocket passer. However, his average arm strength and below-average stature could create challenges for his aggressive, gunslinging style at the next level. 22. DI Rayshaun Benny, Michigan Wolverines Benny earned a 79.3 PFF grade in 2025, ranking 62nd among 887 qualifying interior defenders. He posted a 68.5 pass-rush grade (161st) and an 83.5 run-defense grade (35th). His production leaned toward run defense, with a clear disparity between phases. 23. S Genesis Smith, Arizona Wildcats Smith has intriguing size and athletic traits for a single-high role, but inconsistency with physicality and play strength limits his reliability. 24. HB Jonah Coleman, Washington Huskies Coleman may not have the flashy athleticism of a fan-favorite RB1, but his game is efficient, powerful and translatable to NFL success, specifically behind zone-blocking schemes where he can gain momentum and one-cut into rushing lanes. He also brings plus third-down reliability as a receiver and pass protector. 25. LB Keyshaun Elliott, Arizona State Sun Devils Elliott has shown flashes as a downhill player, with effectiveness as a run defender and blitzer, but his below-average frame helps explain his limitations in coverage. He earned PFF grades of 67.8 in 2024 and 67.5 in 2025, which reflect a steady but unspectacular profile. His struggles in coverage may limit his role at the next level, though he still offers some starting upside in the right situation. 26. S Zakee Wheatley, Penn State Nittany Lions Wheatley is a long, springy athlete best suited for single-high roles. His slender build can be exposed in the box, but he offers strong range and coverage ability in space. 27. CB Malik Muhammad, Texas Longhorns Muhammad is a decorated cornerback from one of the nation's best secondaries, and his size and pedigree point to starting potential at the next level, particularly in a zone-oriented scheme. He earned PFF grades of 78.5 in 2023, 71.7 in 2024 and 70.8 in 2025. His lighter frame and limited disruptiveness remain concerns and may factor into evaluations despite the overall profile. 28. TE Michael Trigg, Baylor Bears Trigg may have one of the widest ranges of outcomes in the 2026 class. At his best, his vertical athleticism and contested-catch ability suggest top-50 potential, but inconsistencies with technique and focus create volatility in his projection. 29. DI Dontay Corleone, Cincinnati Bearcats Corleone, known as “The Godfather,” was one of the most dominant run defenders in 2022, using his size and strength to control the line of scrimmage. His performance has declined in recent seasons, and his 2024 medical history adds some concern. He offers rare quickness for a nose tackle and can control blockers despite shorter arms, though his pass-rush impact remains limited. He projects as a traditional 3-4 nose tackle. 30. T Dametrious Crownover, Texas A&M Aggies Crownover stands out for his massive frame at 6-foot-7 and 319 pounds with over 35-inch arms, which should earn him a look at the next level. However, he must translate those physical traits more consistently in pass protection to reach his potential. He earned a 58.4 pass-blocking grade in 2025 and allowed two sacks, two hits and 23 hurries across 428 pass-blocking snaps. 31. ED Anthony Lucas, USC Trojans Lucas has an NFL-ready frame and good overall athleticism for his size, but he does not consistently win quickly enough to project as a full-time edge rusher. His length and strength give him versatility across the front in odd schemes. 32. LB Deontae Lawson, Alabama Crimson Tide Lawson is undersized but experienced and quick. He projects as a rotational linebacker with some starting potential. 33. DI Kaleb Proctor, Southeastern Louisiana Lions Proctor, No. 111 on PFF’s Big Board, offers an unusual profile given his size and level of competition, but his explosiveness and pass-rushing ability stand out. His 2025 production supports that evaluation, as he earned an 86.5 PFF grade and generated 39 pressures, including nine sacks, four hits and 26 hurries. His performance against LSU in particular highlights his upside and reinforces his case as a potential late-round value. 34. CB Will Lee III, Texas A&M Aggies Lee, No. 114 on PFF’s Big Board, offers an intriguing developmental profile, as his size, length and leaping ability translate to strong ball skills. He earned a 66.5 PFF grade in 2025 after a stronger 76.2 mark in 2023, and he recorded eight pass breakups in each of the past two seasons. His run defense, tackling and penalty discipline remain areas for improvement, but the physical tools and ball production point to late-round value. 35. G Billy Schrauth, Notre Dame Fighting Irish Schrauth’s career included injury setbacks, but his play on the field showed a high level of performance for Notre Dame. He earned an 82.7 pass-blocking grade and a 73.1 run-blocking grade in 2025, and he did not allow a sack or a hit while surrendering just two hurries across 213 pass-blocking snaps. His game features strong pad level, a firm anchor in pass protection and good grip strength, though balance and foot speed present some limitations. The overall profile supports projection as a starting-caliber interior lineman. 36. WR Brenen Thompson, Mississippi State Bulldogs Thompson’s elite speed and big-play ability will draw interest, but his below-average size and inconsistent contested-catch rate complicate his projection. He ran a 4.26 40-yard dash, which ranks in the 100th percentile at the position, along with a 2.53-second 20-yard split in the 93rd percentile. In 2025, he caught 57 of 87 targets for 1,054 yards and six touchdowns, averaging 2.77 yards per route run and 4.3 yards after the catch per reception
