Yeah he was never going to be the real starter. They just wanted to get a good look at him. Again this is what our staff is doing this preseason for the most part. 

So what is a fake starter? He was brought in to contribute to the team and was a miss. Now Ickey is playing like dog poo, Chark is injured, we missed on McCall, Miles Sanders is also injured. Now the team comes out and say that it's going to be a three year process, meanwhile we don't have a stockpile of picks like you'd hope a team who just drafted a franchise QB would have. 

So no, this isn't "getting a look at him". This is a whiff. This has been the Panthers since Tepper took over. Get used to it.

He started him during a PREseason game (the same games Burns and Houston aren’t playing) to get a good look at him to see if he can play the NT well enough to have a roster spot. Do you know how this works?

Huddle: "This team is trash...this defense sucks...teams just march down the field on us.....least talented roster......."

Also Huddle: "Wtf are we THINKING cutting Undrafted FA perennial All-Pro Marquan McCall?!?!??  This will go down in franchise history as the worst move we've ever made"

I'm starting to think a lot of people here just choose to adopt whatever's the contrarian position at any given point.

They do, thinking it makes them look smart and edgy when in reality it accomplishes the opposite.

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.
