So calls of his being a bust based on his first couple of NFL practices in pads were, perhaps, too hasty? Inconceivable.

And somehow Hill is getting accolades for barely participating at all.

No, still a bust but now he also the comeback player of the year. All that in a week. Amazing!

Huddle gonna Huddle, surprised we haven't heard more about how Garrett is the second coming of Calvin Johnson.

There was a fair amount of that back around draft time.

 It's gonna be fun watching Butler learn the game. He should get plenty of reps Thursday night.

I wasn't worried.

So, is keeping 10 d-linemen out of the question?  I recall us having only eight last year, which may have been an issue with out 4th quarter collapses.  An extra DE & DT could go a  long way.

10 is very heavy DL, it's happen in the past. Once you have a injury else where and need to cut someone, DL gets the cut. In the Ron era, hes normally carried 9(4dt, 5DEs). Problem with carrying a 5th DT, is Special teams. DT has a little value there outside field goal block team. Plus the panthers are heavy in rotation, where DTs don't use the same energy as DEs. All this changes if the team is 3-4 defense.

Just hate to see us lose Kyle Love.  Thought he played quite well last season.

Yep that hurts, he loves it here and playing on a minimum contract. He's star insurance, to me. Stars foot could flare up at any time and the panthers open at Denver. Plus he's more of run stuffer and this is a passing league. I believe if the panthers had a choice to get out of solais' contract and not pay the 3mill guaranteed, they would. I thought it was odd given the depth in the draft, but they signed him anyway. It's super awesome and sad that the panthers have loads of quality depth.

Yep definitely remember, funny how those posters have been extremely quiet since he has hit the field.

Okay. So, the coaches are pairing Butler with Chris Scott. That should give him a confidence boost. He needs it after struggling against the better competition. If you can not beat Chris Scott, then you do not belong in this league as a DT.

BTW, why is Chris Scott still on this team? He gets yelled at almost every practice for laying on the ground too much during plays. You think the coaches would have learned their lesson after the 49ers playoff game that he single handily hurt the offense on every critical play near the goal line.

They keep cutting him and then just bring him back. Glad they got David Yankey to replace Scott. I hope they never bring Scott back again after he is cut again. There are too many other young guards with more potential than Chris Scott. Stop wasting time by burning a spot on Scott.

This goes for several other players that have had their chance and should be gone for fresh potential in younger players.

Don't show the David Yankey v Vernon Butler gifs. It will make Butler look bad.

Not expecting any starting caliber play from Butler until his 3rd year. He should have been drafted in the 2nd or early 3rd round. Just another player drafted too high by the Panthers compared to their actual draft value.

I've got him on ignore, the stupidity that comes out of his mouth unbearable. Willing to bet he is actually a Cowboys or Steelers fan on the side.

[Mr. Scot]

For the uninitiated, CPK is just a guy in Winston-Salem. He has no connection to the team and doesn't attend practices so everything he tells you is completely made up.

Basically, ignore this dumbass.
