Is agree, if he stays healthy.

"Prove it" years are best when they actually do prove it.

This is the same kind of contract Gettleman doled out when he was here. I understand he's an injury risk but I can't be mad at it at the price and need we have.

Agree. No problem with the contract.

Just hoping he actually does earn it.

Moton played LT in college. So why even start the Sky is falling routine acting like he has zero experience on the left side.

Let me bring this quote up:

http://www.espn.com/blog/carolina-panthers/post/_/id/30457/taylor-moton-has-gone-from-loving-the-blind-side-to-being-featured-there

Quote

left tackle, a position he barely played in college. And that was mainly as a backup during his junior season, too.

If he even had much experience, it barely existed. He's a natural right tackle.

But there's tons of good ravings that he IS intelligent enough to switch. But at the same time, that's coachspeak, not really fact.

If he's a good LT then that's fine. I just hope he brings the same elite level of play he has on the right side to the left.

But wait... Hurney is a POS and doesn’t know what he’s doing and only has a job because he shined JR’s shoes.

This in no way should rule out LT at 16

It doesn't but it definitely gives us the flexibility to go with another position if the right player falls to us.

I was one of Hurney's biggest critics bringing him back.

 

Today's signing was one of those "ive learned from my mistakes" signings

 

Old Hurney would've offered him a Nice big jawuan James level contract

 

New Hurney let it play out.  And when Williams didnt get what he thought he could get, he came back a took a hometown discounted prove it deal

Hurney...and I’m gonna say it...Hurney you need to stay as the GM of my Panthers.

I think it almost guarantees we don’t go tackle at 16. I’m not a huge fan of any of the top tackles but I think there’s day 2/early day 3 guys who could develop. I think we have to go edge rusher or heck even Wilkins/Lawrence (Poe and Short are $31m of next year’s cap with $24m in savings). I’d love to see G at 47 and have a ridiculous OL and develop another tackle with one of the 3rds/4th. D the rest of the picks. 

This would be my plan..

Wow this great!!! This is exactly what i hoping to happen,  and i didnt think it was gonna be possible!!

Again, I'm just thinking there's more risk involved with keeping Williams.

Ideally we let him loose, draft a LT, cut Matt Kalil. Keep Moton on the right side and elite, while we let a rookie show how much better they are than Matt Kalil (not that hard) and do fine on that spot.

I just don't know if a Williams coming back from injury is good, and whether Moton can man the LT spot.

Just curious.  If you don’t like this as a stop gap measure for our OL, who would you draft at LT?  

First of all you would have to go for a LT at 16.  Second, there are only 2 day one starters at LT in this whole draft.  Jonah and Dillard.  Dillard has never run blocked in his life. And there are questions about Jonah and wether he translates better to guard.

And the way Moton played against NE and Dallas was pretty good. I don’t think any of those two in the draft would be better year one.  

The job of a GM is to work free agency so they don’t have a whole in the lineup that forces them against the grain of a particular draft.  This draft is slammmed with high end defensive talent.  

Personally I would be bitching if we had to go OL in the first round in this historic defensive draft.  

I think H2.0 gave us a good stop gap solution.  We may still draft a T.  There are a bunch of good RT throughout this draft. But it doesn’t force our hand in the first round.

I don't mind grabbing a OT in the 3rd or 4th and develop him.. But I agree I would be outraged if you leave this historically good Dline draft without at least 2 new editions to our rapidly aging Dline.. Now we can get a OG and a OT later and field a competitive Oline.. Its defense fixing time IMO...

Oh absolutely.

I'm just saying a mid-rounder probably would be better than Matt Kalil lol.
