Two things popped out on this for me.

 

 

Benjamin has made more spectacular catches in his first few weeks of camp than arguably any receiver in Carolina history.

 

 

Smitty?

 

 

 

1. Kalil laughed when I asked him about all the questions surrounding the restructured offensive line, saying the line has been a question mark since he arrived eight years ago. The difference is Carolina had Jordan Gross at left tackle all those years. The Panthers don't now. Regardless of how the battle between Byron Bell and Nate Chandler shakes out to replace Gross, Carolina will have two undrafted players starting at the tackle positions because the other will start on the right side. No other team probably can -- or wants to -- say that.

 

 

Didnt realize Kalil has been here that long. 

 

 

Besides those article was pretty spot on.

A bit of info on our man Nate Chandler...

Nate was a California kid. He actually projected as a TE when he was a high profile national recruit coming out of high school. A big athletic kid with good hands. He choose to stay close to home when he signed with UCLA.

People who follow college football on the west coast may know better than me but I think Jim Mora became the HC there at some point during Nates college career.

Anyway.. After a redshirt season Nate started as an OT as a frosh then moved to TE as a soph. Due to his size and athletic ability and the needs of the team Nate switched sides his JR year playing inside and outside d line.

Nate Chandler has shown a maturity and selflessness to change positions and also had the ability to have some success. He's a smart player and it was likely all of these qualities with diverse experiences and versatility that made our man Ron fall for him back when no one knew who he was or why we kept him around as a UDFA.

      I think it's more related to the difference between proven talent and projected talent. Our proven talent is quite literally almost nonexistent. Our projected talent could be significantly more. Obviously, it remains to be seen how many DJ Moore's we get and how many TMJ's(not making this position specific, just giving examples of clear progression of careers and talent being realized versus not). This could be an exceptionally terrible, underwhelming, okay, fairly decent, surprisingly good, etc roster. All that has to play out on the field because our known entities in terms of above average caliber NFL players is paltry but most standards. All that digital bloviating to basically say, "Show me." As for Tepper, I genuinely don't think he has meddled that much less and I don't think he has stepped back. I think he just cleaned house of most of the people chirping about it internally while not making himself so publicly visible because he is very aware of the meme he has made himself and this franchise. IMO, he will continue to fug this franchise over because that is who he is as a person.

      Also Walker is a game time decision. He might not be able to play tonight.
