WTF is Anthony Rizzuti?

Joe Blow #84 Mock Drafter. 

I can't wait for the draft to be here and then over so we can move on from this.

 

Just the main Panthers reporter for USA Today. I've referenced him on occasion.

Everyone's a critic...... so heres my criticism. I'd rather have Pearsall and/or McConkey but otherwise a damn good draft.

He didn't even work out the Combine because he had a Jones fracture.

 

was he at the Senior Bowl?  after that and the combine, I did searches for winners and losers from the combine, and he was listed on at least one site as being a "loser/ faller"

Corbett played some center in LA. I don’t know enough to say he is a bad choice or a good one. Maybe he is the guy it’s all fine. I think we react against it because we are uncertain. 

Corbett hasn't played a snap at center during an NFL game. The only time he's been used at center was in camps and was quickly moved back to guard. The dude is not a center and trying to force him there will not bode well for the offense.

It will be such a Panther thing….

to of spent all this FA money at G….and not a have an average C on the roster which leaves the middle a mess in the end.   

and I don’t think a 2nd round rookie is going to be an average starter year 1.  Especially as defenses come out playing Bryce the way they will at the gate

Yeah, trying to shoehorn Corbett at center is such a Panthers move. And it failing is even more of a Panthers thing.

There doesn't seem to be a of quality centers on the free agent market either. The only real hope the team is going to have is drafting a center and praying they he is an immediate hit. Sadly, they'll most likely miss out on the quality center prospects because of waiting/drafting other needs and have to stick with Corbett.

Nah. He was too much of an established player to be at the Senior Bowl---he's a legit first round talent, and he wasn't a senior.

Yeah, but it’s not fair expectations to draft a C and expect him to be NFL average out the gate though.  Especially, if it’s not some top tier first round prospect.

It's also not fair to expect a guy that's never been able to play center to suddenly get it and be good at the job either. And that's what the Panthers seem to be doing.

just saw this

  • Alabama cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry, born Ga’Quincy, has had a busy spring full of pre-draft visits. Since earlier reported visits with the Jaguars, Buccaneers, Lions, and Packers, we’ve seen reported visits with four more teams. Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com tells us that McKinstry visited the Titans on Tuesday, and Jordan Schultz of Bleacher Report informs us of visits with the Eagles, Giants, and Falcons, as well. McKinstry and his teammate, Terrion Arnold, have been extremely popular with the several teams who view cornerback as a position of need in 2024. McKinstry’s recovery from surgery on a foot fracture continues to heal nicely as he stays on track to return in time for his rookie season, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.    https://www.profootballrumors.com/       

 

looks like a lot of teams are comfortable with him

The Panthers would be a really good situation to put a rookie Center in. High level vet OGs and at least one probowl level tackle. They would all be learning a new offense, so there will be some growing pains there. Other than that, this would be a good time to get a young center that's ready to get significant playing time. Maybe not start day one. But should take over by game 6.

If I'm not mistaken Ryan Kalil started right away. If not, it was only a couple of games into his rookie season. It can happen with the right pick at center.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By CRA · Posted

      I mean, poster also said Young or Mahomes, it would have made no difference.  If there was way to actually test that hypothetical, I would sell every belonging I have and wager that Mahomes would indeed yield different results.  Mahomes automatically changes the D coverages.  He automatically changes the threats.  He attacks and threatens a field different vastly different.   We have seen good QBs and great QBs play behind horrific OLs in a single season....and they don't default into being the worst team in the NFL.  Frank Reich was old, stubborn and not creative enough to deal with an anomaly QB like Bryce.  The best QB in the NFL wouldn't be handicapping Frank, they would be enhancing Frank.  Starting week 1, Frank didn't even trust Bryce with basics....Frank gave him I what I feel comfortable with you being able to do offense.  Which took throws and plays off the table because Bryce couldn't do early on what a bad vet in Dalton could.  Mahomes would not yield the same results.

      All I have to say to this really, is it sounds nice and downgrades Stroud to make Young look better is more like what this take does. Look at the WR numbers the year before and then the year with Stroud. He made them better, not the other way around. That’s my opinion. I appreciate you designating that it was yours. Many state these things as facts.

      but what if.....and here me out....the pro Bryce Young stuff was coming from people under Fitterer.  You know, the people who are employed to feed him that input.  And they happen to all still be employed here.  when Rhule was fired I desperately wanted Fitterer fired.  It set things up for Fitterer to be the sacrificial lamb the next time things went poorly....every time we move on from a disaster, we are retaining a heavy % of the folks who helped bring the disaster we are "moving on from".  Everyone argued Fitterer probably could be great and it was all Rhule.  We are just repeating the same stuff to a degree IMO.   Panthers needed a clean slate post Rhule era.  Needed another post Frank era.  Things were just too bad or too dysfunctional IMO to be salvaging so much.   We keep failing to do that.
