Have any legitimate veteran lineman been cut yet?

I know final cuts will be saturday/sunday, but I'm interested in keeping an eye out. We all know we need depth, but I haven't seen if anyone worth a damn has been dropped yet. I don't care if he's 35 and wants to retire, we need something for atleast this year.

you'll be sure to be mad/disappointed.

Gettleman/Rivera won't come out and bash the O-line and say things like "it's clear we need an upgrade". They are going to walk the line and say exactly what has been said thus far. If you don't think that they will take a shot at upgrading our roster if the situation presents itself, then you're wrong. 

 

The question is really if a clear upgrade at tackle becomes available, and if we can afford it with our current salary cap debacle. I think there is probably around a 40% chance we bring in o-line help before the season starts.

 

If we don't then I think the situation will turn out a lot like the 2011 season at the DT position. After Ron Edwards went down the consistent sentiment was dear god we can't really be entering the season with two rookie DT's, but that is exactly what happened.

my peraonal feelings of the line has heen more in line with the masses.

Aftrr hearing that they really like their top 8, the only way I see them bringing in somebody is if we are ravaged by injuries along the oline.

I don't care that we disagree. I just feel I'm being a bit.more realistic than most.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
