Will Gettleman be tempted to draft Gurley @ 25?

I think we will look to replace (and yes, on paper, it makes sense to cut him) Tolbert.  Varga from Yale in the late rounds would be a great fit here. 

 

My youngest son, when he was about 5, said, "I don't know why anyone would buy a cat.  All you have to do is put a bowl of food on the porch and one shows up."

 

I see an undrafted free agent competition here.  The draft is deep at RB, so one will fall to us after the draft.

 

I have read chat about us going after one in free agency.  Ha Ha Ha Ha.

 

Kinda off topic but if we do end up cutting Tolbert to clear more space, both Hynoski and John Conner are going to be available in the FA.  2 really solid FBs.  I don't think having one that can run is a huge plus in a Shula offense but to have a strong blocking one is big.

I 100% agree.  We need a Hoover.  FBs are not expensive but they do so much for the offense.  Pass blocking, run blocking, pass receiver, special teams, etc.  Brockel is a TE coverted to Hback.  Tolbert is limited.

 

I would love those guys.  With our Guards, a stud FB, and a blocking RT, oh my, this team could go back to the days of ground and pound.  However, with the QB and a few WRs and Olsen, try stopping that with 8 in the box. 

 

Varga is listed as a FB, and I think he will play there, but some of that is because he is white and the media profiles the white running back. Varga would be an all-around player--could play #3 and situational RB, could play FB, would dominate on special teams.  Nick Goings, if you will.  He is a great blocker and very smart--would pick up blitzes very well.  I want him bad enough to mention him in the fourth to fifth rounds. (assuming we don't do what you say--even if we do, I would be elated).

I am not gonna lie, I am thinking that if DGB convinces the guys that matter that he has learned his lesson and is a changed man, I am thinking that he will be our pick. Of course it's all predicated upon him having a good combine. I think that all the sure tackles will be gone, and although I would love to have Gurley and believe that he will be a game -changer in the NFL, I don't believe that his talent will trump DGB's. I am thinking that It will come down to DGB's interviews.

 

Yeah, DGB is a top 5-10 talent. Don't see G-man passing that up at 25 just because of some character issues over a year ago. I'd rather have Landon Collins or La'El Collins, but DGB is my choice after those two.

I'm with you about the Collins kids being my top 2 choices.

Gordon won't be picked in the first round, and I don't think hes better than Gurley.  He'll become a Jamal Charles type?  Whew, you are reaching, and yeah I have seen him numerous times.  I think Jamal Charles would dominate most competition, but Gordon couldn't dominate Ohio fuging State?  Okay, sir.  OKAY.  Better yet, get over 100 yards vs OHIO fuging STATE?  OHHHHHHHHHHHH K.  

 

you say that like they were some 2nd rate nobody school.  You do realize that they won the national championship, don't you?  and they basically shut down the potential #1 overall pick in the process.

Getting a deal with CJ Spiller gives us a return man and a change of pace back, plus makes for dangerous screen plays

      Who replaces Evero?

      By electro's horse · Posted

      So this has been one of my biggest concerns with Canales and it's the downside of having some young offensive guy who doesn't have full staff control. like what is the org chart for this decision?  With canales, who does he know or has worked with that he can tap? He hasn't been in Seattle in 2 seasons and all those guys are gone anyway. He wasn't even that high up on the org chart in Seattle so it's unclear who he would have regularly interacted with. QB coaches generally aren't going to be in the split squad meetings, at least not regularly. Just glancing at the coaching staff, Clint Hurt jumps out. He was DC in 2022 and is currently the dline coach in Philadelphia, but that team is the brainchild of roseman and i'd be very hesitant to bring in someone who was allowed to walk from seattle and would be having a SUBSTANTIAL decline in talent here in Carolina. With Tampa, that defense is a shambles and fans want Bowles out. It's a very top heavy coaching staff too; Bowles is very involved so there isn't some bright up and comer, from what Bucs fans elsewhere have said. Someone from the Bills maybe? Morgan was last there in 2020. Who could he call? No one established is going to take that position for a few reasons. There very little talent on that side of the ball, so you're not getting the rockstar mercenaries to come here. They're probably going to struggle to bring in some hot up and comer, since anyone with ambition is going to see how Tepper handled evero's request to interview for other positions and not want to deal with that. That's a problem the team has created on its own and I don't know how to fix it until they have someone leave for a promotion, which is going to be difficult with how dogshit this franchise is. And then, any agent is going to tell their client that the Panthers let the whole defense eat poo heading into 2023 just to "give bryce weapons." they let two starters walk and traded away a third. who would want to come in to this? how are you going to build/retain talent? There's only a few logical possibilities from my perspective 1. Someone out of nowhere who just crushes their interview 2. Someone from a good defense promoted WAY earlier than they should be and you just hope for the best 3. Extend Evero. I know a lot of people hate this but I think it's going to be the best option. This is the problem with Canales as coach. I don't want to go into what I think about the offense in this post, today or as it projects, but it's just not going to be easy for him to assemble a staff, if he even has the power to do so. For all we know Morgan is handling all defensive positions and hires. unclear org charts are a hallmark sign of a poorly run organization. I dunno. i think it's lowkey the biggest problem on the team, even moreso than the QB position.

      Cardinals not firing anyone this week?

      Yup. Why pass when you can get 5.1 ypc, worst in the league and with the most attempts against, and are typically playing with a lead.
