Summary

Star softly talking about Smitty and Gross both text their fellow Utah brother welcoming him.

Q: What makes you the best DT in this draft?

A: The coaches drilled me on picking up schemes as well as workouts and was impressive. My strength and explosiveness seperate me from the other DTs.

Q: What do you think about the potential of this team? Playoffs?

A: Definitely, I will step in and help out to make his team get to the playoffs.

What was it like to meet Smitty? Who raved about Star..

Star lit up and laughed how Smitty supports the team and visits regularly and loves to work with him.

Q What do you think about moving so far away to NC?

A: it's crazy but and we do not know what to expect so we will look at everything as we just landed.

Thanks and welcomes..he sounds like a new dad who flew east.

Welcome to the Panthers Mr. Lotuleilei now break some lame NFC South QB azz!

Nothing but a soft Q n A with him but cool to hear the big guy who will be at the Jordan Gross kickball game this weekend.

Missed it. Will definitely catch the audio when it's posted.

These guys, though. They're on talking about trading down, and one of them even brought up the idea of Mathieu in the second.

Lord, they're idiots :wacko:

Pushing for the Honey Badger is as bad as if someone pushing for a HB or DE.

We have 3 Nickle Cbs already lol..with no history of drug problems.!!

It is just the football star syndrome....guys love big names.

I want to make it to the kickball game...as Star tears his ACL running to first base..uggh...sorry the mental picture of this hurts.

I was forced to watch the draft on ESPN. At one point Gruden got agitated when a CB went off the board (think it was Trufant to ATL) and went on a rant about Mathieu - to the effect that he couldn't believe he wasn't the pick/wasn't in play in the first. How whenever he watched tape of Claiborne and Peterson he was more impressed with Honey Badger. Then he went off on some Youtube tangent.

Kiper of all people had to step in, insert a little sanity, and inform viewers that Mathieu wouldn't be in consideration until the end of the second at the very earliest.

Star presser live @6p ET on Panthers.com

Awesome thanks for the heads up. Guy seems like a low key individual off the field and a family man that just wants to provide for his wife and children which is great so it'll be interesting to see how he is in front of the camera with reporters asking questions and what not.

Glad to you have you here Star! Welcome to Charlotte and lets get this Lombardi Trophy!

Cool. One thing that hasn't been mentioned is personality matches. Star is gonna love Rivera as a coach (both soft-spoken individuals).

The thing I'm most excited about is not only what Star gives us now, but what he gives us in the future. The guy has so much potential it's scary.

    • Canales was brought in to fix Bryce. That was how he sold himself. He failed.  the panthers need a new qb, someone to coach him, and someone to build a defensive staff.  Canales has failed at developing a new qb. His big draft project XL is trending towards bust. His entire nfl resume before the panthers was one season as offensive coordinator on a stacked Bucs team, and being on the offensive staff when a 31 year old Geno smith finally put it all together. And he didn’t even pick his offensive coordinator. Assuming evero is gone, who’s he got in that phone to call? What low lvl porn addict evangelical from the bucs is ready to be Peter principled? There is nothing in his coaching history or his current performance that indicates he’s the person to move this team forward. Every other team knew this last cycle (panthers were only interview) and nothing has happened to change that perception   all people like you have is “well you can’t do it again it’s too soon but <random interval of time> will be different.  just pull off the bandage. There’s no reason to let this guy draft “his guy” except people wanting an excuse not to fire him after 2025. 
    • Both Reich and Canales were saddled with trying to build and establish a viable scoring offense around Bryce Young. The best the offense looked this season and last season was with Andy Dalton who is also terrible but still better than Bryce Young. Which should be all anyone needs to know but still somehow there are weirdos here salivating over a ceiling of maybe on a really good day the 25th best QB in the league. We've already canned one entire staff over our first overall pick. You can fire everyone again to satisfy your need for vengeance and quickly come to the realization that your next hire will absolutely unequivocally be a downgrade yes man or you can blow up this QB room and then assess. If no progress next season then you can make changes and justifiably so.
    • Surprised this is the only post with this take.  This is like the Rhule kiss of death lol.
