They must really dislike what they’re seeing at OLB opposite burns and Haynes back must be a concern 

I feel like they might like some of the young guys that have been flashing (Leota, Jones come to mind) but you can't trust a couple of UDFA's to be your only other guys outside of Burns. I feel like YGM might get traded before the season starts.

Haynes is the one good piece we have after Burns rotationally.  Problem is that he doesn't compliment Burns to be on the field at the same time with him, Shaq & Luvu.  He's backup/rotation, down dependent.

This tells me YGM isn't showing enough as an edge setter and DJJ hasn't shown much either.  It's mildly annoying but we've all seen this hole from a long ways away.  Good to have a dude like Houston.  He comes in, and helps to get a decent cream rising from YGM, DJJ, & Leota developmentally. We'll see.  Plenty of ways to go until week 1.

This is a great short-term bandaid but it also signals that they don't see YGM as the answer and that DJ Johnson is likely not ready to contribute as a 24 year old rookie. 

From a 2023 roster standpoint I love the move, but I think it also says that the future of our edge rusher group is very much a work in progress. That's something that shouldn't come as a surprise to any Panthers fan paying much attention.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
