Wharton...Chandler will do great things

Recommended Posts

On Panther pulse. Says he is enjoying family,hadn't decided on his future plans yet. Did say Nate Chandler is ready and will impress and do great things this year. This is very promising since the amount I listened to he said nothing close to that about anyone else.Good news. ....some guys just have natural ability and he may be one of them.D.G. seems to think so,as does R.R. Praise doesn't come easy in this league....he may be the real deal.

makes me wonder, gettleman and the coaches have talked about chandler and bell competing for left tackle---who's competing for right tackle? gettleman made it sound like he'd moved bell over to the left side much like godfrey to CB.

I like Wharton, but wish he would quit dragging this matter of his "decision" out.

Why? If we offered him a contract I believe he would sign with us almost immediately . Gettleman wants to see who he has in the young guys. He declined offers from teams elsewhere not here. He seems loyal to the Panthers and the Panthers only so he is a reliable emergency guard/ tackle we can sign if we need him. He isn't looking to sign with a team out west.

Considering the state of our OL, I find it hard to believe we haven't at least attempted to sign him yet.

I've been banging the chandler drum all offseason

He's gonna be our starting lt unless we sign somebody

I would love to see that scenario play out. If he's at least serviceable, I'll be more than happy. Anyone but Bell on the left side.

    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
    • Theilen is about to retire. I dont care about him sticking around. Lets say you did and he retires at the end of the year. Now that connection is gone next year and it's just another excuse for regression that was just held off. 
    • Short term is the key point. Those first two games without him where pretty bad. They still aren't back to where they were offensively but they are getting better. Hopefully Tet continues to improve and Coker eventually returns - and stays healthy.
