I remember reading about one of these centers that he would be tailor made for a zone blocking scheme, maybe Bortoloni? So I wonder if that kind of player has been a target all along in the mid rounds.

I think it was the Wisconsin C, but I think the Penn St Center pops into my head as well.  He was rising.

Easy now. I distinctly remember all the schadenfreude when genius Fitterer outmaneuvered the Saints and traded up to get in front of them to get TMJ. How'd that work out?

I still can’t get over how bad Fitt was, it is borderline unbelievable.

But you know that there are wins and losses every time a team makes a move, thanks to hindsight.  One incident should not discourage us from celebrating the moment.  I am not even sure that I would have traded up, fwiw.  I think Jerry figured Brooks would fall to him--but neither of us know the actual background info.  It is like that girl at the bar-she becomes prettier when you know a rival has his eye on her.  It is when you get her home when you realize that she has a severe speech impediment and prosthetic leg.

TMJ was a great talent in college. Our staff was just awful at developing players. TMJ in NO probably looks like a different player now honestly.

We brought in Brooks for a visit knowing he was the top RB in this class. We got the player we wanted where he was projected to go and collected a future pick. Whether people like the pick or not is their opinion, but the way we got it was pretty solid. 

I kept saying as we discussed the draft that it is important to us (Bryce Situation) that we walk away with a second rounder.  When I mocked, I traded for a second rounder in 2025.  Now if Bryce screws the pooch again, we should be picking in the top 10.  The second rounder gives us some leverage to move up.  The QB draft next year is not looking bright.

Right on. The Bryce pick is officially paid in full and we picked in every round this year plus have a full arsenal in every round next year. We can wash our hands of the cost to acquire him. Now we can properly evaluate him and decide if he is our future or not.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
