I feel like we almost need some Bell and Chandler gameplay GIFs to remind people of how bad they were last year. Bell continually let his assignment through the line literally untouched. Like he would move out of the way, shuffle upfield and then look confused as to why there was no one around to block while Cam is getting tucking the ball and getting sacked. And chandler got steam rolled every other play. 

 

I think some have hit the nail on the head: this is at worst a bandaid that allows us flexibility in the line, free agency, and the draft.

So Voth is speculating we're planning on falling back on Oher if we don't find a T in the draft?  I thought we'd at least consider the Derek Newton/Barksdale/Parnell types.  Well I guess we'll see what plays out. 

 

Or insert him at left tackle while you're prepping a rookie to take over the job.

I hope this is at most what happens unless Oher has a magical career turnaround. 

 

I know the interior is solid but we've got Remmers, Chandler, Foucault, and Oher on the roster right now at tackle.  Yikes.

Nobody can honestly expect him to play as badly as he did last year. Injuries, better blocking scheme for his strengths...he'll be better than Byron Bell, significantly so. Not a Pro Bowler, but at least not an embarrassment like Bell.

 

And if you're going to come in here quoting PFF, keep in mind that you also must think that Kelvin Benjamin is trash and that Kuechly was grossly overrated and barely at a Pro Bowl level the year he won Defensive Player of the Year.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.

      I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
