For you people that are ok with Bell starting

I am amazed at the number of people that are ok / content with Bell starting period, much less starting at LT. 

 

I just read this on another post and thought it deserved it's own thread. 

 

Last year Bell was graded responsible for 9 sacks, 6 QB hits, and 31 QB hurries

All 3 statistics are the top 5 WORSE in the NFL among starters. 

 

 

Guys, Bell is a backup at BEST and in no way should be starting until he gets better. 

 

Our OL is in a world of hurt right now. Question marks and concerns GALORE. 

 

We better pray some teams cut loose some solid stop gap veterans.

Bell was not good on the right.. No question. Maybe he's not a RT, but a LT, which he played in college. Note I said maybe.

My stance is, I will not proclaim were fugged and be all negative until I have seen video evidence of Bell sucking at LT. I'm also high on chandler.

The guys upstairs have seen these guys play in practice. Didn't chandler also grade out perfect at LT last pre season?

Ok, Medellin. It's not exactly breaking news that Bell isn't very good.

So. Who would you have drafted in this years draft (and at what position.) let's get this poo on the record and we'll see how well your picks grade out at the end of the season!

I always love when people confuse not feeling the need to continually and endlessly b-tch and whine with "content" :unsure:

 

This. What does the OP expect us to do as fans? Bitch everyday about Bell or show up at the Panthers front office with pitchforks threatening them until they sign an all-pro at LT? This is a stupid thread.

I personally am going to wait and see how everyone in the draft pans out then come back and make threads about who we should have drafted. I will also claim those were the players I wanted all along

Like some have said.

 

No one is saying they are OK with it.

 

We just realize a couple of things that some of you don't.....that we have ZERO say about it and there is absolutely nothing we can do to change it no matter how many fuging threads are started.  So....no use OBSESSING over it.

      He is a great guy but a horrible reporter. He makes my skin crawl when I hear his name. I heard that babies cry and dogs attack him when he enters a room. Other than that he is a good dude. Now go burn in hades u sum bit.

      The job just really passed him by. He came up when basically you just needed to get three or four quotes, toss a couple of team provided stats in there, and stretch it out to column length. you got your copy in by 330, out the door by 4, then chill/shmooze the rest of the day. If you were really good you got a book deal. Every now and then you got to write an editorial. The goal of the profession was like Peter King where ostensibly you’re a beat writer for whomever but you get paid to just shoot the poo. now it’s a 24 hour job, you’ve gotta be social media savvy, the pace has increased substantially, you’re expected to produce more than ever, you gotta be able to look through bullshit etc. there’s still risk of industry capture where you just become a mouth piece. Sheena Quick is obviously shameless. I don’t think Newton ever aspired to be more than an inoffensive beat writer, but even that relatively simple role was just more than he was cut out for. its even worse when you’re covering a team that expects the Fourth Estate to act as a PR extension, or considers them on par with buying Twitter bots to promote Bryce. there were over thirty papers that covered the panthers first training camp. In that environment there’s room for boring guys like newton, and they may even be incentivized to push the boundary a little. But today that just isn’t the case and most of the guys are hanging on until retirement (person, gantt) or they’re good and gonna be matched up like Jordan. im not defending the current state of sports journalism, just saying that what counts as a meat and potatoes beat writer passed newton by. He’s retiring well past his sell by date, but that’s pretty common for his generation in general.
