This tornado news is killing me so I need to escape from reality for a few. Story today on Panthers.com about Colin Cole. This guy is intriguing as hell. Big body at 6'2" and 330lbs. Was playing really well in Seattle until his ankle issue. Has a chip on his shoulder and wants to prove he can still play this game. Says his ankle is now 100%. I'm quietly excited about this guy. We finally have a potential interior D line with NFL size. No more undersized garbage like Nebletts and Fua. Buckner always used to say on his radio show that the best free agents are guys that have something to prove. I think Cole qualifies.

If you pray, say one for our friends in Oklahoma.

today has been an awful day with the tornado devastation in OK and ray manzarek passing...

 

puts things into perspective, but I hope Colin Cole has an impact. Our d-line is shaping up nicely not only for this year but for the future.

 

Gaydosh is also intriguing, we got a lot of big bodies. I can't wait to see how we perform on gamedays.

I'll tell you what, if Cole truly is healthy and can revert back to his days with Seattle; then Carolina will have a hell of a defensive tackle stable. I'm trying not to sound too optimistic because after all, Cole hasn't been fully healthy in quite some time and two of our defensive tackle's are rookies... however if the rookies step up and Cole is fully healthy then this group of defensive tackle's will be super fun to watch.

I agree with everything you said with the exception of your criticism of Neblett. I felt he use to be an overachiever on our weak line. Fua should have been cut with McClain. Fua had on skates when we drafted him and he puts his skates back on as soon as his name is called with the second rotation scrubs for minutes. Worst nose tackle we have had in panther history.

Soooooo excited for the opportunity to STUFF strong running teams like Seattle and Minnesota this year... It's gonna happen baby ooooooh year it's gonna happen.

My biggest gripe about Nebblett was his 5'11" and 295lb measurables.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
