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.

    • WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.
    • Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.   
    • In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
