Jourdan Rodrige Thoughts 2.0: Panthers view Larsen as a bridge/depth player. We will likely find starter in draft.

I guess we will look for a starter in FA or the draft. Garrett Bradbury could also be in play now. I agree that we should look for a starter elsewhere, as we would take a step back with Larsen starting. He is a good depth piece, but would be a downgrade from Kalil. We must improve center and left tackle to protect Cam. If we sign a productive starting DE in free agency and draft another in round 2-3 I would be fine with drafting Bradbury in the first. Thoughts?

If it wasn't for me preferring the top centers, I would say that OG is a bigger need than C. I think Larsen is a solid stopgap. Better than Van Roten at LG. I honestly think the only reason we didn't play Larsen at LG is because we half expected Ryan to get hurt and for Larsen to have to step in at C and they didn't want to have to cause a disruption of chemistry at two spots due to one injury.

This is going to be a Tough off-season for Hurney to fix

I expect him and Rivera are on short leashes already after this season

 

Center- we literally just lost our 12 year, former all-pro center.  Those arent easy to replace.

Edge Rusher- not only are we going to a new scheme where we have to plug people differently.  We had one of the worst groups in the enite NFL last year.  Ask Giants fans, who's QB got a break from his weekly Beating he took after we couldn't even touch him.  Our returning DE's had a combined 11 sacks last year between the 4 of them.  Edge rushers are some of the hardest to sign in FA as they normally sre held onto (see all the franchise tags this year)  just a avg starting DE goes for 14-15 mil a year in todays market with top one creeping above 18 mil a year and QB money

 

OT- our QB is beast coming off injury tl the same throwing shoulder thats been injured.  If he is not protected this season, it may be the end of a era

 

Realistically your only going to fix those in rds 1-2

 

Oh yeah and we still dont have a centerfielder as well at FS.

We still has a temporary patch at LG after the huge hole Norwell left.

 

We have no backup QB to our injured QB (no Kyle Allens 1 game vs Saints #2s isnt enough to crown him)

I just don't see how you don't go after paradise and pay him. You have a need at Both RT,C, and DE and C would be cheaper than the other two. We are in rebuild mode anyway so might as well try to draft a RT or DE with Kalil still around.

I'll take OT in the 1st, DE in the 2nd, C in the 3rd (which we can still get a good guy) and then an extra DT or FS later in the 3rd. OT is the biggest priority as there are move DE's available in FA then OT. Not many centers available either.

Starting at #47, I'm all for adding interior OL. We could use an upgrade at both LG or C. Play Larsen at whichever doesn't get upgraded. He's better than Van Roten. Ideally we can address both and use Larsen as a versatile backup.

This. Sick of nc state homers saying bradbury at 16. There’s a reason he goes late first in mocks. Grab a different center at 47, idc. Need to go Ferrell or one of the tackles at 16. Center is the one position we have a reliable backup at (Larsen). It’s not a pressing need and Bradbury isn’t quinton Nelson just bc he went to nc state

    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.  
    • I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch 
    • What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
