This. I didn't want him in the draft but he honestly showed quite a bit more promise thank I expected. I wanted McConkey and still think he should've been the pick but Legette has a chance to develop into something. We'll see what happens.

Pretty much this. Yeah, I would enjoy getting a better look at the process as a Panthers fan but my #1 goal as a Panthers fan is to see my team win. I don't think the circus of Hard Knocks at all contributes to that #1 goal. In fact I think it works against it and that's why teams seek to avoid it. I'm honestly surprised the NFL hasn't gotten rid of it with all teams universally hating it but then again the same thing is true for Thursday Night Football, so yeah... all about the Benjamins.

I think he's played plenty well enough sandwiched between great guards. With the hard salary cap you're never going to have a roster of All Pros. You have to pick and choose where to spend your cap and we already have a ton of it spent on the interior OL with our two recent big money guards. We kinda have to shop on a budget at center and Mays has shown he's up to the job. The other thing is that Mays is still pretty inexperienced at center. He should still have considerable room for growth.

Why not? We need depth anyway and Moton is on the wrong side of 30 and is going into the last year of his contract with a massive cap hit. It's not too early to start thinking about life after Moton at RT. Plenty of OL remain effective well into their 30s but a LOT don't.

If Tennessee can't say no and they have a shiny new #1 overall QB that's the direction I'd go. I'd prefer to not have to have us deal with that circus.

Garrett Wilson eyeing Bryce Young
LinvilleGorge replied to thunderraiden's topic in Carolina Panthers
Some people seemingly just want to be unhappy. If we ever win a Super Bowl they'll be whining about how the game was so much closer than it should've been because of this, that, and the other. -
Garrett Wilson eyeing Bryce Young
LinvilleGorge replied to thunderraiden's topic in Carolina Panthers
It's almost like you can't grasp that Bryce and we as a team could play better and still lose. That was the story of most of the second half of the season. We just fuged up and actually won two of them. No one would feel a bit differently if the Falcons had won the toss and gone down the field and scored in OT like we did. Because that was the bottom line. That game was essentially decided by the OT coin toss the way both teams were scoring at will. -
If you're out as soon as you're wrong about a draft prospect no one has survived a single draft. Hell, probably not a single round. It's a damn crap shoot. LOL

Not sure if anyone else is watching this D1-AA championship game but I don't know if these receivers have NFL athleticism but they got HANDS. These boys can flat out CATCH. This is a good football game.

What's your confidence level in Canales?
LinvilleGorge replied to Mr. Scot's topic in Carolina Panthers
5/10 Could easily see it going either way moving forward. We finished on a high note but it took a looooooong time of looking like a raging dumpster fire to get there. -
This is definitely a key factor IMO.
-
Johnson is absolutely the guy I'd want if I was the Bears but I'm not sure I'd want the Bears if I'm Johnson. It all boils down to what he thinks of Caleb Williams. No questioning the WR talent and everyone knows they need to address the OL no matter what.

A Perspective of the Roster (Red Meat to chew on)
LinvilleGorge replied to MHS831's topic in Carolina Panthers
I've always wanted the Panthers to have an elite sideline to sideline ball hawking over the top true FS. Mike Minter is the best safety we ever had and honestly he was in the "good" category and he was a pure old school SS. Deon Grant is probably the only quality true FS we've ever had and we didn't even sign him to a second contract. It's a position we've always undervalued. I loved watching guys like Earl Thomas and Ed Reed and Brian Dawkins, Darren Sharper was a step below those guys but was another one I really enjoyed watching play. Having guys like that playing over the top allows your CBs to be so much more aggressive. Panthers fans have always lamented watching our CBs play 10 yards off the line on 3rd and short but this is a big part of the reason why. -
A college buddy of mine was TreVeyon Henderson's HS position coach. I didn't even realize it until he was posting pics of them hanging out together after the Rose Bowl.

We have enough needs on the roster that I just want to take the evaluated best talent available, period. We have too many needs to be reaching. If Carter is there and our staff really likes him then let's go.

This is as concerning to me as the results of the overall defense. A lot was made of Evero's personal involvement in identifying our veteran FA acquisitions this off-season. Now obviously he was shopping on a pretty limited budget but he still bought a lot of trash.
-
Not thrilled but whatever. If that's what Canales wants then fine. The HC should pick his staff. Part of the job.
-
Honestly, I think the Bills are the best team in the league. But the best team doesn't always win the SB. Just feels like KC has had every lucky break fall their way and at some point it feels like those types of teams usually run out of luck. As great as Lamar is, I'll believe in playoffs Lamar once he puts together a couple of good playoff games in a row. There has historically been a massive Gulf of difference between regular season Lamar and playoffs Lamar.

He went to the combine. Ran a subpar 40 but jumped out of the gym. I think declining to participate in agility drills might have hurt him worse than participating and performing subparly. When a guy fighting to get drafted declines to participate in a set of drills you kinda have to assume that he knew he was going to put up abysmal numbers.

No one is trading for a tagged player without already having a long-term contract in agreement.
-
It's definitely an option.
-
I bet they averaged 10+ypc on power runs to the right. They were doing it at will. But for some reason they didn't just keep doing it. It was bizarre.
-
Maybe tonight will show him that he still has to protect Darnold from Darnold. I mean, damn... when you're running at a 7ypc clip I don't care if you have Joe Montana at QB. RUN the fuging ball! Kinda like the Falcons today. Honestly they win comfortably if they had simply scrapped every play in their playbook that wasn't a power run to the right. NFL coordinators just outsmart themselves a lot. The first rule is always that if you're doing something and it's working keep doing that thing until they stop it. If you don't then you're your opponent's best weapon. They might still be racking up yards down there in Arthur's Anus just running student body right over and over and over again.
