Ricci should be running the routes Ian and Tremble get.

It just hit me that we still have 5 TE’s lol. Wtf man.

Man that is terrible. Damn.

Was Rippadon banned? What happened to him? I took a few month siesta from this place, and he was ghost when I came back.

I like them both. That being said, much like how I stopped caring about college QB prospects after we drafted Cam, I hope Bryce can put me in that place again. poo’s exhausting lol.

Lame duck coaches man. poo sucks. I’m just ready for week 1. Officially put all that Rhule poo behind us and start a new era.

I think a lot of it is guys mature mentally at different ages. Bryce is very mentally mature, and perhaps the game is slower for him at this age than other guys. Maybe Geno matured and the game slowed for him in his mid/late 20’s. He’s a completely different player. I think of myself at 21 vs. 28 and it’s like two different people. The sweet spot is hitting that maturity during your athletic prime. Bryce in game 3 showed things indicating what he did at Bama will translate imo. He made free pass rushers whiff, and made a few throws with anticipation. That’s what I wanted to see. Good time to be a panthers fan.

Hope he balls out. I liked Corral and Howell as my 1a and 1b last year. With Sam/PJ at QB, I still wanted to draft Howell after we drafted Corral lol.

Little early to say, but most guys trying to make it at this level don’t make it. I’ve liked his physical tools from the jump, but we know the game is more than that. Brandon Smith is another recent example. He’s a perfect madden linebacker, but little Sam Mills/Jon Beason were elite real life linebackers. People lump Corral supporters with the “Young Lion” guy, but I just tried to be a counterbalance to the people writing him off after the debacle of how he was handled last preseason. Like all former panthers, I wish him the best, whether on our PS or on another.

Smith is disappointing, but unless he’s bad for the locker room, he seems like the ideal player to have on the PS. Maybe even try him at edge. And if not, he’d probably crush it in cross fit competitions.

All due respect, all of that is irrelevant at this stage. No one would argue that D2 is the same as the SEC. The players you listed are different people (coaching staffs and players) with entirely different variables, life circumstances, and mentalities. The scouts found these guys, and they met certain baseline traits they liked, so they brought them in. Once they are here, where they went to school doesn’t matter anymore. How they perform in rookie camp, mini camp, training camp, preseason…how well they take to coaching, how well they match up against other nfl players is what matters. And some will fail. That always happens with every team.

No you stop getting in your feels.

Don’t let poo’s get in your feels. It’s just an emoji. If I poo something, it’s not for a differing opinion; its more the way things are said, baseless assumptions, insults, or when an argument is shallow or incomplete.

There’s so much to unpack here, but I’d rather just move on. Agree to disagree.

Well as of this evening, the staff does want him here. And you’re right; he doesn’t look good out there….to you. He looks exactly as I expected he would. He is a guy with a strong arm and good athleticism, that is in his second year with a new staff after missing his first with a chaotic staff. Maybe there’s a better place he could go to develop, but there is a high level of offensive knowledge all around him here. This would have to be one of the better places to be in the league.

You are assuming he doesn’t want to be here. Can you back that up in any way?

It’s wild that some people here have said the opposite and wanted him cut. Not that their take is wild, just wild that two people can watch the same player, with one loving what they see, and the other thinking he’s trash. I liked what I’ve seen so far. He has a compact heaviness when he tackles somebody. Some might call it “having that dawg in him.”

The poster thinks he’s worth more than what we could get in trade right now. I’m sure you are correct that a team would give a 7th for him, but the poster doesn’t think that’s enough.

I feel like if you have undrafted guys anywhere, offensive line I’m least worried about. So much if it is about the unit as a whole and not the individual. It’s mostly technique and communication. Take Erving. He was a 1st rounder I believe? He had good feet and prototype tackle size/length. But at 31 he still couldn’t take advantage of his physical tools, played off balance, too high, no leverage. Sometimes if you get a guy young before those bad habits solidify, it’s the better direction to go.

If he’s cut I always figured it would be one of the last cuts. They would try to hold off and work the phones to trade him.

As he should be. I keep thinking the Cardinals could be a trade partner for him, but they are so clearly tanking with that QB room.

He really does. I’m sure there’s something I’m not seeing, but he clearly looks better than Tremble and Ian (at least in the passing game). I’d like to see him more against the 1’s. He can actually catch.

It’s all good we just need no injuries at all haha

It’s easy to poo on Rhule, but it’s not dissimilar from the rest of the league, or our team history. Most guys drafted don’t last long. That’s just how it goes.

That’s me. Fortunately we won’t care week 1 though lol.
