This has been up on Panthers.com for a bit, but I am like some of you, sort of dismissing Kugbila and wondering about Silatolu's rehab.  I apologize if this has been discussed in another thread, there aren't too many topics we have not covered, but this gave me some hope for Kugbila and some optimism about Silatolu.

 

Kugbila was more injured last year than I thought.  I had to change my thinking about him after reading this.  He is a huge man.

The fact that Kug had a knee issue is may, strained his hamstring in training camp, re injured the knee from may in august, had mcl and pcl reconstructive surgery, and it swelled during rehab and had to be scoped out....without any experience in the NFL doesnt seem good for a big guy on the line. I could be wrong and hopefully eat my crow on that, but doesnt sound good for his knee. He says he has a chip on his shoulder and hopefully he comes out and earns a starting guard start.

    • damn I wish somebody would sign him. This has been going on for weeks.    I think if the team wanted to sign him we probably would have heard something about interest on our part.    Or any TE. It looks like they have set that room. And we have taken guys two years running, a guy like this would be blocking them. We need to see if they have it or not. And we should see if Tremble is gonna ever do anything.      In general, with the TEs
    • Dude, there aren’t rose colored glasses big enough for you to call this “not a bad draft.” BC was not a good pick. He was taken with the 6th pick in round 3 and he’s been a backup OL. Tremble also wasn’t a win. Another 3rd rounder who’s easily replaced. Only reason either of them started games is because of injuries or a lack of a better starter. Chuba’s got heart but he’s had one solid year behind a solid run blocking unit. Other than that he’s underwhelmed and like we saw with Dowdle and Foreman, it’s not hard to find cheap pickups who perform as well. Horn has been a good starter but honestly that draft had so many solid starters we could have taken. With as many picks as we had, him and Chuba is absolutely a bad draft. We needed OL and BC and Brown was a terrible effort. You clearly didn’t watch the Senior Bowl if you thought Brown had a chance in the NFL. The huddle draft folks wanted Humphrey and Smith and instead we got crap and Mahomes was the winner.
