How bad is Chandler that he isn't 1st up when Bell is out?

It's more about trying to keep continuity.

Keep chandler where he has been playing all season

It shows you what limited resources will get you.

There are not 32 starting caliber LTs in the nfl. When you scrimp, you end up with a bunch of shitty options.

 

Sorry. Don't accept that premise. A rookie salary isn't that much, and for 2 years, the FO completely ignored the Tackle position in the draft.

 

Pretty soon the FO won't have salary cap as an excuse anymore. So they better start getting it together.

what if canida man shows out?

what if canida man shows out?

 

Then we're all just a bunch of hosers ay...

[CatMan72]

Yeah, I don't get why Chandler isn't the next man up at LT after a long battle with Bell during TC to win the position???

because he sux

Both Bell and Chandler are abominations of tackles. Both have to be statistically in the top 5 worst starting tackles in the NFL. 

 

Man you ain't never lied. I don't know what the coaches were thinking trying to convince themselves and the fans that these two were the answer. SMH

Weren't they in a close battle for the starting job in Training camp? ?

Didn't Dave extent him??

Now Foucat is the starting LT in a national televised division game??

Un drafted Canadian is protecting the franchise's blind side?? How scary is this poo??

I think the battle for LT was never close, it was always going to be Bell starting. Chandler was thrown out there to make it look like a competition because of the fan perception of Bell.

He should NEVER have been an option for our offensive line.

[KendrickPanther]

Chandler isn't healthy either. I think they hope to get Foucalt prepared for one position instead of 2. Because if Chandler leaves the game, he would have to move over.

 

Nothing can go wrong right?

I think the Panthers thought Chandler had a shot. But he missed a lot of TC. The Panthers were wrong for thinking he could get the job done though.

Actually, there is a reason--you want at least one tackle to be familiar with his position.  Throw in Norwell, and you would have 3 players new to their spots.  Did not read the entire thread, so if i am repeating someone, I apologize.

 

That is why I hated moving Wharton out to T when Gross went down.  We were below average at LT and LG.  A huge target for defensive coordinators.

[ThPantherFan]

Lol for all the people who get this.

Ha!  A, HAHa!  Was kind of funny.

That's like, your opinion, man!

Chandler is very athletic for a lineman, any lineman. He has talent. This is also his first full season as a starting tackle in the NFL. He'll get better.
