looks like Bell and Williams at LT so far

R.R did say after the 2nd pre season game they would decide the starter...Chandler falling out of favor then....maybe destined for the right side or he isn't what they expected at thus point.Guess they are determined to give Bell every chance to take it with Williams next in line.You would think if Chandler was the guy he would be getting the bulk of the work there...looks like that hasn't been the case.He showed poorly last game and maybe they have already decided. I don't know what to make of this carnival ride at LT anymore.

Realistically, that's most teams.

Pretty much nobody has an elite backup left tackle, but people think that's unique to us.

 

I don't think most rational people here are expecting "elite".

 

But at the absolute minimum we need competent players on the OL, and at this point that doesn't look all too good. Our depth is scary.

Unique to us is having a franchise QB.....and letting an undrafted backup caliber T and former DT convert battle it out for starting LT

Eh, look at how easily the Saints replaced their LT last season. No one is saying everyone has elite depth, but most teams have someone who could play LT decently. Anytime Gross was out or injured(which was rare) Wharton could be plugged into the left.

      Great point.    I would lke to add that there is another QB on the roster who was terrible over the middle--Kenny Pickett.

      I don't think this is the year for Carolina, unfortunately.  I think they will have to make a decision on the QB position-all we know is that Bryce has year 5, but a long term deal has not been signed--yet--and they would be smart to take a "wait and see" approach.  I have not kept up, and I see a path to upside for Bryce, but I do not think we have aggressively pursued a QB when our QB was mediocre to worse than mediocre.  yes, his numbers are improving--but he has adapted by eliminating what he does poorly and not improving on what he does poorly.  Just my take and I have no data to support this view.   Basically, we go as Bryce goes, so the approach is not to bring in a QB to have him compete until we find one, but it is to make Bryce as good as he can be--is that good enough? Season ticket holders buy the hope of winning rings, not winning 8 games. Last year, Bryce had a resurgence.  Take away TMac and Rico Dowdle.  How good was he?  I still have hope.  Not a hater of plan A, but a hater because we have no plan B.

      Yeah man, I've been here for a very very long time. Couldn't even begin to tell you what year. Maybe 2004 or 5? I've never really been super active, just enjoy reading everyone's opinions and discussions. I'll chime in from time to time. I have had a few different accounts over the years. It's always been a fun place for me to check in on my favorite team. Hopefully we can keep the place running for a long while still. I also would like to recommend bringing back the Lovely Ladies page!
