I was using the metric system. Seriously, I thought he retired...

thanks to this one guy, we have the oldest roster in the NFL--48.4 years. Without him, we are at 25.6. Go figure.

Steve Smith was that way---but not the extreme of some of these guys---they get worse when you pay them too.

And at left tackle...

Unless he renegotiates, this has to be the plan

I could see it.

the trend in Carolina is not to sign veterans on the back ends of their careers. Madden players do not think about the locker room much. Real world situations? Locker room is very important.

yeah, we have to assume XL is trash and hope for the best. We need (considering Bryce) a YaK guy

I am a miracle whipster myself. Born and raised in the south too. Just evolved.

Since you all have been sending me Emails, texts, phone calls, telegrams, and smoke signals, I will provide you with a tidbit of a prediction. Yes, the Utah OTs are studs. Both could be gone by 19. Slightly lesser well known is this: The Texas A&M OTs are studs as well, only not as good at run blocking (as a duo). Prediction: We will draft, at some point, an OT from Utah or (more likely) Texas A&M. Round 3. Prediction #2: Morgan will fall in love with LB Golday (Cincinnati). Round 2? Prediction #3: I am not a Tex A&M fan, but I think we will have a Panther Aggie or two on our roster in late April. Cashius Howell is not as big as Scourton or Jones III, but he has a first step that makes him a needed pass-rushing specialist. Clemson Edge TJ Parker could be the first Tiger taken in Carolina--since our first rounders are commonly from the carolinas, it seems, of late. If we don't bring in a veteran edge in free agency, I see one of these two becoming Panthers--if we don't take a tackle--in round 1. Lotta IFs, but it is February, dammit. Prediction #4: We could draft a player who played OT in college but was found to have short arms at the combine to be our future C. Parker (Duke), Bowry (BC) are possible day 3 additions who could transition from OT to C. That is all. I have spoken.

That makes sense to me....I am def on the same page.

It is like when you go to da buffet at da Golden Corral and dey have all dis food and you get the same thing every time. There is probably something you would like more, but you go to da same ol racks and get da same ol food every time. Not sure why I am writing in trailer park dialect, but hey, watcha gonna dooo.

If we don't go OT, we will regret it. What bothers me? Are we going to get a starting-caliber OT at 19? I think the draft is solid at OT, and the more I read up and watch video, the more I watch Lomu, the more I want him. I see Freeling as a RT who needs some work in run blocking (since we need to run first, maybe not a good fit) and I see Proctor ending up as a Guard. After Lomu (assuming Mouigia and fanu are gone), I think we wait until round 2. In round 2, there are about 3-4 I like (Zuhn--good pass blocker and VERY underrated right now; Tiernan is a very good pass blocker as is Miller from Clemson, but both are not good in the run game. Max Ixxxxx from Ariz St is impressive too---technically, there is not a of difference in these second tier guys--good in pass pro, need work in the run game. If we wait until round 2 for an OT, we probably need to sign Nijman and start him early. I almost think this is what we should do if Lomu is gone. There is a big dropoff after him, imo, and I think we'd get better value if a stud ILB or edge is there. Someone like TJ Parker Clemson makes sense. If Lomu is gone, trading back might be the play.

some of yall know this, but he has been my favorite panther since we signed him.

I think most Huddlers think we should go LT and I think one of the top 4 will be there at 19. I could make an argument to go Edge, ILB, and get this....WR again (with XL's play and TMac's performance, if a top 2 WR falls to us, we could do it.) We need free agency first--that will tell us all we need to know.
