Should be a fun low scoring, game. Watch it turn out now to a shootout. 

Anyway, I see the Patriots are doing it right with the #3 pick in the draft. In practice Maye is getting 30 percent of first team reps. Learning behind a seasoned vet. They don't want to rush and ruin this kid. It will be interesting to see how he progresses. Wish we would have done that with Young. 

 

 

 

 

 

There is no right or wrong way.  Sitting for a year or two has worked, and not worked.  Starting immediately has worked and not worked.  Sometimes it makes a difference, sometimes I think the qb was going to eventually be good or bad regardless and all this overthinking about the right or wrong way to do it had minimal impact either way.

Yes, It really depends on the player. Vick, Love, Rodgers (on the top of my head) sat and they turned out well. Newton started day 1 and was fire. 

I still believe Young would have benefited from sitting for a year. I believe it's better for them long term. Young is no Cam. 

The rookie salary cap also plays a huge part as well. Its cheaper to find out now one way or another.

I think sitting can help if you have the tools and need some seasoning to process things at the NFL level, but if you just flat out lack the physical perquisites you're just gonna suck.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By OldhamA · Posted

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
