The Biggest Probowl Snub?

I know Jon Beason probably should have made the pro bowl and up until Thomas Davis got hurt he was definitely playing on that level. Heck, even Gamble deserves some consideration...but the biggest pro bowl snub of the season for the Panthers has to be Ryan Kalil. I voted for the center from Dallas and Kalil everytime that I voted and I can't believe he didn't make it as a backup at least. He has been the rock of a line that has been through some big time injuries this season, a line that has had to very inexperienced starters over the last few weeks, and let's also add that this is a line that boasts TWO 1000 yard rushers for crying out loud!!! To me you have to let someone off a line that accomplishes that to the probowl...I would even say Wharton deserves a shot because he has played two positions on a line that has been so dominant in the run game this year. It amazes me that people talk so highly about the Panthers and our run game yet no one off the offensive line made the pro bowl. Maybe he or Travelle are an alternate but I haven't seen that list yet.

That to me Ryan Kalil not making it was our biggest probowl snub this year...right up there with DeAngelo not making it a year ago. Any thoughts?

Kalil is one of our most unheralded player and a steal in the draft. Otah is really close behind him in terms or being a top player at his position. He definitely deserves to be in Hawaii.

Hurney and the Scouting dept are responsible for some serious misses: D Jarrett, K Colbert, Corvey Irvin(you know he will suck!), Eric Shelton, Evan Mathis and Atiyyah Ellison but get wayy too much blame as all organizations miss at the same level or higher...look at the Pats last few drafts!

Hurney and staff has some great hits they get little credit for: trading down twice to avoid overpaying for a Free Safety and getting Jon Beason, Ryan Kalil, Jonathan Sterwart, Jeff Otah, and I feel like Everett Brown will be great although I would trade him for Terrance Cody in this draft in a minute).

The last three drafts I think have been huge wins...with possible reservations for Goodson (why draft him so high when we have other needs to address at the time??)

Geoff Schwartz, Mackenzy Bernadeau, Duke Robinson, Fiametta, Capin, Charles Johnson, and Sherrod Martin look like they will be on the right path to be possibe starters or high level back-ups.

so yes, I like Kalil....in other words.

He

      Renfrow is like a litmus test for Bryce and Dave's misses. And Ejiro's D is no D at all

      And, yes, I've been a slow boil, but watching continually watching shitty displays of football for weeks has me frustrated.

      Bryce just didn't maximize Hunter Renfrow's skills. ***rant incoming*** But this isn't just about Bryce Young mistiming passes to Renfrow so bad that he's going to get Renfrow killed or hurt, this is also about incompetentence by Dave Canales. Renfrow can still play. He's putting DBs in a blender out there---making them play twister at the top of routes to keep up with him, and dumb Dave has the nerve to cut him. How about putting Hunter in the best position to help the damned offense by appreciating his skill set, DC? You're letting Bryce's apparent inability to make an accurate throw, or at least his timidity to push the ball down the damned field cloud your judgment and miscalculate talent---or maybe just miss on talent just as much as Bryce misses passes due to playing pussified football. It's fúcking unacceptable.  Speaking of misjudgment, I don't know if it's Dan Morgan or Canales, but Eijiro Evero is not the business at DC. I have said a few times that his scheme is not conducive to run-stopping efficiency. Hell, and after watching some clips of plays, now I absolutely know why. The gaps are at least half open before the play even fúcking starts. You are setting the opposition's RBs up for success with too much damned space at the line and in the second level. If our guys are taken out in these areas---at the line and in the second level---then the defense is screwed because it must rely on the safeties to cover too much ground to make the tackle. At least put Ransom in who is motivated to seek and destroy if you're going to effectively leave the safeties on an island.  And speaking of rookies, get our two new defensive ends more snaps to see if we can't generate more of a pass rush. For all the good the continued sorry display of defense that you're putting out for fan's to see (Ejiro, Dave and Dan), you may as well get the rookies generously involved. Fúck that money we gave second-rate (maybe second-rate) vets, we need a damned spark getting after the QB. Watch it, it's just another breakdown of the sh¡t we were subjected to last week. I say this with all respect: Fúck you, Dave! Fúck you, Dan! Learn how to run a fúcking franchise. Maximize the players, regardless of what you think you're supposed to do by the book. Cut the dead weight before another season is lost and fans lose interest in September. EE is "Ew!" Or for emphasis "EEw!" /end rant

      But nobody is saying he is a good deep ball passer.  But the facts are since he's returned from his benching, he has been throwing downfield.  Whether you want to credit the scheme, Bryce himself, or whatever, he has been pushing it deep.  Not to any positive results mind you, but it has been happening.
