Travelle Wharton

Do the rest of you guys love him as much as I do? We are all sitting here and complaining about the RG spot(and rightfully so) but this man is solid and underrated IMO over at LG. Team Leader. We all love Smitty, DeAngelo, Olsen, and Stewart(our proven stars) but these are the kinds of consistent and capable players we should be thankful for and praise more often!

I'll always remember when Stew broke off that big run (against GB I believe) and ran out of gas near the endzone. A defender caught him from behind and stripped the ball loose. Wharton jumped on it for the recovery, like 60 yards away from the LOS. That's some hustle for a big ugly.

But all in all, I'm very very glad we have him on our squad. Above average? Yes. At times dominate? Yes. Overpaid? Maybe, but I'd rather overpay for a solid LG than underpay for what ever we have at RG right now.

You know, I almost put something about that Green Bay play in my original post. I remember the announcers sucking him off about that play.

So I guess if you were Travelle you would have said "Naaaa Marty, just write me down for a cool mill and that'll be good."

Please.

You can only hold someone's pay against them if he isn't performing. That is not the case here. He may be a little overpaid, but by underrated I meant no one other than Panther fans and analysts really know who he is.

No, not really. He's a barely above average guard that's overpaid.

Cool. Let's cut him and throw in a shitty LG and see how far that gets us.

Some teams would kill to get a "barely above average" LG.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
