You can shove some poo back into your mouth.

dafug you talking about?

One, I assume that you've never watched Star extensively play. Watching YouTube clips do not count. After watching 20 Utah games in the past two seasons, I can safely say that I've seen my share of Star play. Do I think that Star is going to be a good player in the NFL? Yeah, probably. But Star seems to be more a "system" guy than anything.

He's a 34 DT, much like Ngata. He's not great when it's just him, either. He needs to have a player or two beside of him that can also draw double teams, because I'm not sure if Star can bust through double teams by himself.

Honestly, I think that the best fit for Star would be in the Packers or Steelers. Someone with a massive NT that can allow Star to freely take on defenders 1 on 1. I don't think he fits what we're trying to do defensively at all. And even if he did, there are many other players at the DT position in this draft that are of equal skill, which could be had in the 2nd round or later.

Wait until the combine--there will be some changes.

This. No mock right now matters, I just hadn't seen anyone let Star fall this far and I doubt it would happen. I wouldnt mind waiting to fill this position in the 2nd but if he is sitting there, I'm sure he would be considered.

I agree. Even if we go into tihe draft seeking a WR or a LT in the first round, if a player of this caliber falls to you, you take him and adjust. People forget, the concept behind the BPA is he makes your team better. Then you can wheel and deal (unless you had a GM who locked your players down so tight that they have no tade value) and move players.

Imagine if Beason were not injured and that Marty had not decided to make him the highest paid LB in NFL history (idiot). We could trade Beason for a ton. I am stil pissed at Marty Hurney, if you cannot tell. I blame JR too for employing an idiot and giving him the credit card.

      Passing yards per game leaders

      I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
