Those Dallas Right Tackles

I'm just glad we can have conversations about picking up solid additions to either start or build a good rotation. Would love to have either of those guys here. In general would be happy with getting 2 solid/good FA ( suspect this will be OL and DB) and maybe a couple dollar store Dave rentals. Combine that with another strong draft class and it will be a great offseason IMO.

Nothing wrong with bring in comp for remmers. Please look at what the current of Ts is; a canada goose, a DT, remmers whom was cut form 5 teams in two years....... maybe amini a second round bust that only played are LG. That's very very sad.

Panthers need about 4/5 Ts overall to compete with the current group.

Would take Free in a heartbeat at either LT or RT. Fact of the matter is that we're simply not very good there. Remmers was some lightening in a bottle this year but you've got to wonder if it was just that or if there's something else to his performance. A veteran that we can at least plug in at LT and a high draft pick on an OT are a must this offseason. We've apparently shown a lot of interest in La'el Collins, who I think is the perfect fit to ease into the NFL at RT before transitioning him to LT.

I would be ecstatic if we bring Free in. Whether it be at LT or RT I don't care much, all I know is it would guarantee we're solid at at least one tackle position. Love Remmers but he's not definitely the long term guy. I'd be happy and much less nervous with Free at LT than a rookie there. Free-Norwell-Kalil-Turner-Remmers would be solid enough to not ruin our chances of winning games. If we sign Free and go mid to late in the draft at tackle then we could get more secondary/WR help early in the draft or even a pass rusher (BPA) and I think we'd be in a really really good position. Gettleman's the man so whatever he does I trust.

Even if a guy like Free comes in and does end up playing LT...

 

 

We'll be drafting an OT prospect to groom...who won't be ready to play LT. Honestly, an average LT is probably our best case scenario for 2015. He plays to give the line some stability, as we groom the rookie future LT and he steps in during the 2016 season.

It'd be nice to have young prospects learning from a couple solid veteran tackles, free and remmers would be a solid duo

Dallas is in quite a conundrum this off season. They are in the rare position of having two starting caliber right tackles on the team, but both will be free agents come March 10. 

 

Doug Free was the starter most of the 2014 season with the Cowboys until a foot injury sidelined him. Then, Jermey Parnell stepped in and played just as well as Free, including starting the two playoff games. 

 

It is doubtful that Dallas will sign both players, as both know now that they are starters in the NFL. So one of these guys will be available. 

 

Most agree Free is the better player, but not by much. Parnell is 3 years younger, the Cowboys may go with youth. 

 

The Panthers look like they have a solid player in Mike Remmers, but there is no depth at tackle on the squad. The idea of bringing in another right tackle to compete, or possibly even toying with either at left tackle may be enticing to Dave Gettleman. 

 

Remmers played LT at Ore State, and I he has the build to play LT.  I would like the RT to be more of a run blocker.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
