Panthers signed Oklahoma DL Jalen Redmond.

Redmond (6’3/292) shows off a basketball background with good feet and a keen understanding of how to get under blockers. He has probably relied on his athleticism for too long and often struggles to react when he is stymied in his original rush. Nevertheless, he is a good hand fighter that needs to learn when to deploy different moves. Redmond’s low center of gravity allows him to be a big contributor in the twist and stunt game. This highlights his athleticism and will help gain the favor of movement-happy coaches in the NFL. As a professional, Redmond will likely be a rotational piece but he can survive on an island against a blocker if need be. But, he should impress with his best trait of working on combo-pass rushes in tandem with a teammate.

Robert Lester was a projected first round pick? I actually had high hopes for him after his rookie season. Sad he didn’t last long. Ahhh the good old days when we had UDFA rookies staring in our secondary.

oh yea that whole season you could look at mocks and he was always up there and then he just started dropping 

granted this is back when mocks were just starting to catch fire

Redmond is a gonna thrive as a 5 tech. Was eyeing him as a guy to draft to build depth out there with the switch. Will have 2 elite speed guys at 290+ as 5 techs now with brown on the other side. Love it. Now need to get a fire plug of a NT for depth/next man up.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Totally.  I'm less comparing them as players and using him as a reference point.  I legitimately think Bryce is capable of being a better NFL QB than Kyler has been.  Kyler has no clutch gene and doesn't seem to have a grip on the locker room, or much love for the game.  Much different body types/strengths and weaknesses.   Crazy to think-- but Kyler is at year 7 as a 1.01...38-48-1 on his career, 0-1 in the playoffs. He's somehow played well enough to keep it going but crazy to think he's barely even touched the playoffs.  Hasn't done anything that special for the Cards.  That's what you don't want to be stuck in.  Cardinals are in softball purgatory with him.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      It's not analysis. There was no attempt to analyze anything or even convey new information at all.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      As to the topic, I've complained before about "superstar" mentality, i.e. the notion that you can win championships with one superstar player surrounded by a group of mediocre fill ins. It just doesn't work. The Manning-Brady rivalry was something of a showcase for that. The Colts general approach focused everything on Manning. The Patriots? Oh, they also had a superstar quarterback but they built a complete team, especially on the defensive side. This sort of thing is why I've argued many times that "system quarterback" should be to considered a description, not an insult. I know everybody loves the "MVP" athletic types, and they're fun to watch, but that's not necessarily the true path to consistent winning and championship glory.
