Trai Turner seems like a vet according to J. Jones.

[top dawg]

Trai Turner is really making an impression according to Jonathan Jones of the Observer.  Apparently Turner is mature beyond his years.

 

Panthers coach Ron Rivera has said he’s surprised by the maturity of Turner, who is one month younger than Rivera’s daughter and the first player Rivera has coached who is younger than Courtney.

 

 

 

Nice!

 

Kalil has praised Turner since organized team activities in the spring. Kalil said Turner was grasping the playbook well, and he reiterated being impressed with Turner’s knack for the game at the start of camp.

 

 

OK, so we have the head coach and a pro bowl center giving our new guard high praise.  All we're missing now is the GM.

You may have a  "What else are they going to say?" type of attitude, but I get the feeling they are saying these things because it's absolutely true.  It's not like Rivera is known to exaggerate---I mean he has been scrutinizing the O-line, and Kalil is the consummate professional who has no need to shoot rainbows up our backsides.  Moreover, Star Lotulelei also noted that Turner is a hard worker.

 

One thing about it: Turner will be battle tested by some quality DTs by the time the season begins.

 

“When you have a six-, seven-, eight-play drive and now Star comes out and Dwan comes in or KK comes in, it’s like man, I don’t get a break!” Turner said. “They come in fresh when you’re tired. But it does nothing but help you prepare for the season and help you prepare for what you’re about to go through.”

 

 

Kinda funny, but true!

I just skimmed this but Trai Turner is banging Rivera's daughter?

[B.BERSIN]

And he's only 21....wow

[TheRumGone]

He's a rookie he's still going to struggle a bit.

That said I think he's got a lot of talent and seems heady by all accounts

[WhoAmI?]

Dave Gettleman is getting the reputation of drafting players who work their ass off and put in the extra work. It's not easy finding those types of players.

[Your GFs favorite huddler]

I feel we will be converting a lot of 4 and 1s and goalline situations for years to come...our interior oline is gonna be beastly

[Kurb]

Our DLine will help the OLine greatly.

[CarolinaNCSU]

A lot of people were screaming OT and mad when we picked a Guard...but I'll be damned if it doesn't seem like we've gotten a potential steal with Turner. Love this pick more and more

[rscott94]

Our DLine will help the OLine greatly.

It really will help them when the season starts because they're going up against the best everyday in practice..

I just skimmed this but Trai Turner is banging Rivera's daughter?

 

And getting praise from Kalil while doing so!

[Chaos]

I hope Silotolu and Turner become the studs I think they can be.

[Pejorative Miscreant]

If Silatulu bounces back from the injury the interior line is nasty good. I know Bell gets a lot of crap but he seems to be holding his own. It's early but I think we could have a good group. Not saying everything is candy and unicorns but they will be better than expected.

Yeah I think our oline is in good hands. It won't be the best in the league but I highly doubt we have the worst oline. Somewhere around the middle is what I expect by the end of the season which is good enough for what we are trying to do.
