Amini is going to be a really good player for us. Last year was an adjustment for him on many levels, including level of competition and changing positions (played LT in college), which everybody knew it would be.I think he has Pro Bowl potential.

Here's what Mayock had to say about him after we drafted him last year:

Mayock's take: "That is a good football player, my beast from Midwestern State. He's tough, nasty, a finisher. He's a little bit raw. He's a gifted player, but he's raw. But I'm telling you right now that he's a starting guard with Pro Bowl potential. This is a good move by Carolina."

He was thrown into the fire from the get go and improved as well as he could over the course of the season. He had a couple of rough points, but that was kinda expected.

Not so sure he's a Pro Bowler just yet, but maybe in the future. If he improves like Bell did, he can be a very serviceable lineman where continuity is key.

He improved fairly dramatically over the season. He was fuging awful for the first half, which led to a lot of people believe that Gross' skills are falling of a cliff due to him having to cover for Amini's mental misakes.

There's no reason to believe that he will not continue to progress as he did throughout last season.

This year will tell a lot more. He came from a small school and was clearly over his head. He learned quite a bit which he hopefully will put to practice this year. Pro-bowler??? A little early to even speculate. I would be happy for a serviceable starter at this point.

Hard to say really...rookies on the oline struggle and struggle he surely did. We will see is really all that can be said. It seems he has the size and physical ability I think from here on it's ethic and mental.

The guy is really good in the open field. Physical talent is there. Blitz and stunt pick ups will develop. His head had to be spinning last year. So much of o-line play is knowing assignments so you react instead of think. It's not as simple as just block the guy in front of you.

      Injury report

      By CRA · Posted

      Immediately cast blame? We had been talking about the bad throws to Hunter (the missed TDs and hospital ball) for days leading up to that injury report.   And yeah, the rib injury then becomes something to point out.  and you are getting desperate with this projected extremism.  No one  said you should never throw seams.  I shared with you an article after you scoffed at seams being routes you can get hung out to dry on….and it was the best of the best talking about the dangers of those routes.   And they talked about it because they threw them a lot and there dudes were at risk so the throws really matter.  Because you can hurt your receivers.  we disagree, cool.  I got a pro Bryce former NFL QB calling it a hospital ball and bad throw.  So I got a plus +1 making my argument.  Find a QB that backs your take.

      You exclusively highlighted Hunter's name on the injury report and then immediately cast blame. I've pointed out that this wasn't the hospital ball you claim it to be while also acknowledging that there could have been another option to target instead of Renfrow. By everything you've expressed here, you don't think seam routes should ever be thrown. I don't know how that helps the already struggling offense, but I do know that it would make it even worse than it already is. Scapegoating never has and never will solve anything. Tell you what: Try not blaming Bryce or casting shade his way for the entire week after Arizona and instead look at the other 21 starters and assess what they're doing (again, without shading Bryce). I'll join you and refrain from exploring what the rest of the team is doing and will focus solely on what Bryce needs to do better. Deal? This is a sincere peace offering to allow us to explore the other's perspective and perhaps be even more informed football fans.

      The Panthers’ Bryce Young Problem is Getting Old

      By CRA · Posted

      TMac PI throw was a TD too.  Bryce just drastically under threw it.  Renfrow and TMac set themselves up to BOTH have great days.   the story of last of no one was open…..isn’t a defense the Bryce Young defenders can use so far this year
