Rhule fever seems to be en vogue. It's wild, one would assume that Panther fans would want to distance themselves from that fuging nonsense.

Rhule was a fugup for more than one reason and his own specific reasons. Dan Morgan has really proven to be different. I'm not going to look at moves by Dan Morgan through the same prism or within the same context.

Who?

I thought Huddlers has decided that only corners and edge rushers mattered to good defense now? Linebackers don't really matter man. Dime a dozen. That's why we replaced Luke Kuechly so quickly....

Our linebacker corp is screwed, and that's ironic to me. Get Ron Rivera in the building for just one off-season please. 

No one in the league has replaced Luke....

He was the last off ball LB to win DPOY and probably will be for the foreseeable future.

The position is down not even any really elite MLBs in the league right now.

He was a,ba up. Calm the F down. 

What difference does that make? Are any of you suggesting that we shouldn't replace a backup, especially for a position that's already considered a weakness?

Everyone wants to act like someone is Chicken Little for discussing potential common sense moves. That's what the Huddle has devolved to over the years.

Y'all need to chill on the LB panic and just come to grips with the reality that it's gonna be a weak spot and we're gonna be dumpster diving on the waiver wire to fill in the gaps. The last thing we need to do is make some panic move and trade real assets for a bandaid like we would've certainly done in the past under Rhule and Fitterer.

Most everyone realizes the moves are coming but that they're going to come as other teams trim down their rosters. We all know we're weak at LB but the names on couches haven't changed. There's no one out there we want to add. Prepare to be unimpressed by the names we ultimately add to round out our roster but it is what it is. Our lack of urgency at the position tells me that Morgan thinks our starters are "good enough" behind a significantly upgraded DL and that we'll look to upgrade our depth.

Look at the bright side.  There’s not much difference in this guy vs whoever else doesn’t have a team.  Our backup LBs are replacement level roster churn.  The upside is they are replaceable.

I wish I could say it was different, but he's right. And I'm not sure how good our starting MLBs are, either. 

I still miss the 4-3 defense, but aside from that, we haven't prioritized MLB since Shaq was drafted. And it shows. Hopefully someone will show out this year. Roseboom, he's your shot.

This. There just aren't any realistic options we can add at this point. Best we can hope for is for Trevin Wallace has a breakout year. And even then we're likely going to have to add another starter in the offseason.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
