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...

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.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      https://nfltraderumors.co/2026-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams/      Grade: B+ Best Pick: Sam Hecht Biggest Reach (consensus rank): Jackson Kuwatch (NR) It's easy to love what Carolina did. The Panthers traded four times but ended the draft with the same number of selections that they started with and in approximately the same ranges. They did not take a player ahead of the consensus until Kuwatch at No. 227, and it's easy to see how he fell through the cracks playing at Miami of Ohio. He's a high-end athlete, though, and has a chance to develop, which is a fine profile for a seventh-rounder. Freeling and Brazzell also checked the high-end athleticism upside boxes for the Panthers. Carolina let the board come to them in the first round and could have a long-term solution at left tackle, which is a hard position to fill. Brazzell slid because of some maturity concerns as well as the difficulty in projecting receivers from Tennessee's Mickey Mouse offense. At 6-4, 200 pounds and 4.37 in the 40, though, the upside is undeniable. On top of that, the landed three starters on Day 3. Normally that's a high and unrealistic bar, but Hecht and Wheatley were both firmly inside the top 100 on the consensus board and have paths to win starting competitions. Lee fits the scheme well and has some interesting traits as an outside corner. What stopped me from a full-out A grade is not loving the Hunter pick, though he does fill a need to replace DT A'Shawn Robinson. There were prospects at other needs positions I would have been more jazzed about. The Brazzell pick is also an interesting risk for a team that's still in building mode, even coming off an NFC South title. Still, I'm nitpicking

      I was just a teenager when I joined in 2013. I've loved the many opinions on this forum, even though several are infuriating. I've had several bad takes, myself,  that I've hopefully grown out of over the years.
