What happened to Ryan Kalil?

He is only a couple of seasons removed from being considered the top Center in the NFL.

His play has slipped over the last year or so, what happened to the All-Pro Center?

 

 

 

 

Sorry, this silly article got me thinking...

 

http://espn.go.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/12179331/how-many-players-away-super-bowl-was-team

 

I was reading it, and saw Kalil was in the "Average" category. So I looked at some film from this season, and yes there were moments he got burned on double teams, but also just pure slip ups that I haven't seen from him in years past.

 

I still think he should've been listed as "Good".

 

Carry on...

playing between silatolu and velasco or whatever AARP reject we had starting will make anyone look awful. it's no mistake he looked substantially better once turner and norwell were starting.

 

i'd love to see that interior lineup come back and start for us this year. i imagine a couple months of offseason workouts and training camp will do wonders for building chemistry.

Pretty much.

Kalil is a liability? I must have been watching a completely different player. At the absolute very least he has been solid.

 

As the players around him improved, the OL as a whole improved to finish the season. Is this really that difficult to understand?

I know right?

What's the deal with this bum?

Center should be at the top of list of draft needs.

We need someone who can call protections, remember plays and snap counts, and have 7 feet long arms and able to squat a metric ton.

This way he can block everyone at the same time. It's so simple.

Lol at you Kalil fan boys.

Pathetic really.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
