Personally, I don't understand it. 

He doesn’t fit our scheme and he’s not a very good player he was undrafted for a reason

I know he was undrafted, but so is the dude that's supposedly taking his spot.  I hope our 'scheme' isn't to give up chunks of yards up the gut all season.

Good insight from Dunc. Didn’t recognize that he didn’t even start on Friday, so something clearly shifted. 
 

Granted, we’ve been told a million times not to put stock into that first “unofficial” depth chart because it wasn’t put together by the staff, so being surprised we cut a “starter” may be short sighted.

It seems odd that we may not end up 'needing' a traditional NT, but they sure did give it a look, didn't they?  Adjusting the scheme to the personnel at this point, I bet.  Was it we didn't need a hoss at NT all along or we couldn't find one worth keeping and are scheming accordingly?

I think it was the later.

I didn’t hear him say that. What he said was that it came down to fit and there were 2 guys on the roster who have played better than him and jumped him on the depth chart.

Wasn’t it stated that the defense wasn’t even playing most of Evero’s scheme and like the offense keeping things “vanilla”? 
 

preseason, new staff and player evaluation.

Looking at what has been shown/seen, this is the exact definition of having faith. 
 

Tho I know a lot of people don’t understand what’s happening this off-season so far. 
 

Im just hoping there is a lot us fans just don’t have insight into at this time.

    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
