I get that with certain positions, for example, Darnold and Mayfield were both ass last year so make one of them earn it.

Bozeman on the other hand was milessssss better than any of the guards or centers on our roster last year.

I’m sure he will be here too once he learns the concepts and builds time with the coaches and others on the line. 

You get valuable experience on the second unit too.

He’s not on the second unit though, they have him running a lot with first team LG.

A lot of mixing and matching going on right now.

Bozeman at first team LG then second team C, guys are all over the place right now.

Elflein still appears to be running as 1C in drills, doesn’t make sense. Bozeman was an above average center last year with the Ravens and is somehow behind Elflein.

It would only make sense if the Panthers truly believe that Christensen can’t play guard and are forced to put Bozeman there.

If Darnold isn't going to be the QB1 but Baker has to take reps with the 2s for the sake of appearances, then you put the new C1 with the twos also. Now both Baker and Bozeman can be said to have "won" their spots as starters during practice AND got meaningful reps together to get their exchange down.

Good points. Likely all about just trying to find the best 5 and encourage interchangeability and understanding each other’s roles.

OL play in the NFL has a lot to do with chemistry between the lineman.   Playing next to guys and learning how the guy next to you handles things.  

No reason for him to not be at center.   It’s college coach Rhule showing himself.   Same with the QB “competition”.  In the end end he is just robbing guys of reps they need.   Both guys are new and can use all the starting look reps they can get  with the starters.

That’s not the case though, they keep switching QB’s while leaving the lines in tact. In reality neither the OL or QB’s are building continuity. It’s a hodgepodge right now.

      First on T-Mac, I 100% expect him to be the top WR from this class, however I think expecting him to put up 1k+ as a rookie isn't necessarily fair, especially since you're putting it in perspective of how many other rookie WRs have done that in recent years. And Thielen is the reason for that. Not many (if any) of those 1k+ rookies had someone like Thielen there when they were drafted, and no matter how good T-Mac is this year, Bryce is still going to lean on his existing chemistry with Thielen unless he's drastically lost a step this offseason and just can't get open like he's been able to in his career. As I pointed out in another thread the other day, looking at MHJ last year is the way to look at T-Mac's season if Thielen plays a full and healthy season.  MHJ had McBride "steal" 110+ catches and 1,100+ yards in what was a pass happy offense (Kyler was 9th in the league in attempts), it's going to be hard for any rookie to put up more than the 800ish yards he had last year in that scenario.  Especially if we follow a similar game plan to last year and be a run heavy team. In terms of XL, you're completely right, jumping up to get a project 2/3 isn't smart, and if we knew we needed a future slot from that pick, yes, Ladd would have been a much better pick. But at this point, those are all sunk costs, even taking T-Mac at 8 is now considered a sunk cost. Forgetting the past or who we maybe should have taken last year now knowing future roles, I still think T-Mac, XL, Coker can be one of the Top 1-3 WR rooms in the NFL in a few years, I honestly think they really do have that potential in them.

      BREAKING: Panthers claim CB M.J. Devonshire off Waiver Wire

      Maybe we should have just drafted a corner?  Crazy, I know.  One of the few positions we knew had to be addressed in the draft and nadda.
