Does anyone think that if there is a higher iOL or Defensive player overall on the board rds 2-4, that Rhule skips OT and gives Little another shot.

 

I have been the biggest Little Critic since he came out.

But i will admit, he Has shown a few flashes at times.

Has anyone heard anything about his health as well recently? @Zod @RoaringRiot @Verge

I mean hes has a contract, we are super thin at the position and its year 3 for him. I see no reason to not keep him until at least the end of training camp. I think people forget that a lot of what was said about Little around draft time was that he was a great athlete with great size, Little has good feet but the rest of his technique needs work. Which is why he was taken too high. Let this staff work with him for a year or two and see what they can make of his skills. They seem more capable of molding him them our last staff, which couldn't build up a o-line player to save their jobs.

The flashes he has shown is mostly, if not all on running downs.  His issues are on pass protection, big issues.  He should be kept around, but just as a backup...definitely need to find someone else to be the starter, he's not it.

This, 100%.  He's not playable because he has too many downs where he just absolutely whiffs on his assignment in pass blocking.  You can get away with that on occasion, but not a couple times a game.

The fact that he's been a healthy scratch is every reason why you move on from him.

This is his make or break year.  He's going in healthy with a little experience, but most importantly, if Rhule and his crew can't teach him enough to be relevant, he may not even make year 4.

Rhule and crew have thrived on teaching players who have the physical tools but haven't been coached right.  I'm pulling for him, at least to be a starting guard if he can't play tackle.  We'll see.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
