There is no one to put at LT.  This team is void of talent.  If we don’t move on from this staff we are going to be terrible until we get someone here that knows what they are doing.

Hurney and Rivera were WAY better than these clowns and that is scary stuff

Rhule was better…that is what is scary. Tepper literally makes this team worse and Worse and worse.

It's getting old watching guys show promise as rookies then either regress or never develop.

Fug it, just run the old blocking scheme. At worse you build up his value for a trade if they want to continue their dream build. Hell the entire line would probibly improve.

We have a bunch of maulers trying to execute a finesse zone blocking scheme and it looks like how you'd expect that to look.

Yup. And suddenly the run game would improve. Short term fix but what low hanging fruit when there are so little positives to be had.

Rivera is about to be available soon.  Maybe even Hurney.  Hell, Gettleman is out there.

Might as well do the Charlotte thing and re-hire a coach or GM that you previously fired (Marty Hurney, Steve Clifford, Dom Capers).

Serious question, can you get hired at McDonalds after previously being fired by McDonald’s? 

Charlotte pro sports is something else.

We're just trying to find an apple on the ground that isn't totally rotten at this point. 

We fans are sure. I haven't seen much beyond the OC calling plays to suggest they get how bad this is and make moves that big like changing back to a mauler apraoch. Too early from this game but I completely expect more of the same. Tepper is too clueless to understand anything and it's not an approach any of this staff would willingly do as far as I know. It's more of the same until something breaks the cycle.

    • Ehh, new front office has 2 drafts under their belt -- Salaun draft class was really a horrible class in general, but Salaun has started to show some of his potential and KJ Simpson not bad for a 2nd round pick. This past draft clearly looks like it was knocked out of the fuging park obviously with Kon but also Sion and Kalk already contributing in somewhat big roles for late round picks. And McNeeley has shown potential and lit it up in summer league, seems to be doing well in the G league for a young guy too.      As for this season I think a very realistic goal and outcome of the regular season is sneaking up into a 7 or 8 seed and then winning 1 of 2 play-in games to make the real playoffs. Probably get cooked in round 1 but that playoff experience and establishing that expectation of winning is critical to the development of our young core. 
    • Sound write-up MHS, as always.  Agree that the smart move that forward thinking franchises make would be drafting a tackle early, if not for sure in R1, depending on who's there. Based on early predictions we're choosing between Fano and Proctor. No brainer here...Fano all day. Proctor does not move the needle for me. In my mind, Icky has less future here than Brooks does. I love Icky, but he has been average as a top-10 pick, one good year where you saw the potential...and that was this year. He's built like a RT and his strengths are there, but he's always played left. I also feel like part of what has held him back from being elite, was his work ethic. He was known for it coming out, but feel like he fell right at home in Carolina and maybe didn't push himself as hard as he needed to. Throw in a major crucial injury that will take time to recover and a historical low return rate to current form, and the outlook is not great. Fano can play both sides and we need to also plan for Moton's departure. Either way, delaying drafting a tackle early this year will hurt us down the line. Our current OL is overpriced and needs to start adding draftees to start balancing out the inevitable changes coming in the next 2-3 years.  As others have said, maybe Icky can replace Hunt or Lewis in a couple years when he's fully recovered....IDK. Also not a guarantee, but then you have to figure out his contract and it becomes even more clouded.
    • It's past time to just eliminate it in terms of an event. Just do the voting, name the roster, and move on. When you get down to 6th and 7th alternates it's just absurd. It doesn't mean anything.
