Appears that B.Bell may be watching from bench if things don't improve

Everything I have been reading so far suggests that G.Williams is getting a good look at LT.Seems that Chandler is on the right side I guess and doing okay(at least his name isn't being mentioned)....last we heard was that Bell and Chandler where splitting time on the left side. So Williams is now getting the shot because Bell is showing poorly through OTA's and now mini camp.Maybe now RR is finally realising that he is not starting material. Bell is a nice guy it seems but he better get used to a back up roll....seems that's the way it's going.

I can guarantee y'all that he starts if not LT, RT. So people might as well get use to it for at least this season if not more.

This is just as speculative as the OP. Both of you are guessing. But hey, what else is there when the team is so tightlipped.

I don't expect Rivera, or Gman to give us a heads up on what they are thinking/planning. So you guys are as close as we are going to get until the season starts and we find out for ourselves.

They aren't even in Spartanburg yet.  It's way too early to start guessing the depth chart based on reps.

it's a shame that we are going to have to wait until spartanburg to see who wins out. that, in my book, is a fail.

 

we should be going into TC knowing who the starting OL is so they can be getting their reps and hit the ground running as a unit.

 

TC needs to be all about the OL gelling, not try outs to see who is going to be on it.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
