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.

      Things like this happen everyday. We live in a social media driven society where loyalty is a foreign concept.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By frankw · Posted

      If you draft a guy who is healthy and has no concerns about that whatsoever and he goes out and tears his ACL in his first few games in the regular season on a physical play that's a freak accident. But when you trade up to draft an RB who is already rehabbing from a recent ACL tear and he spends the next several months continuing his rehab only to tear the same ACL again after less than a handful of regular season carries in a non contact circumstance that is no freak accident. That is a textbook example of why you do not do what we did. Particularly for what is now a plug and play position. And when you have the highest paid OL in the league over the next two years. None of that makes any logical sense. Legitimately it is and was some Scott Fitterer type foolishness. Now as for XL. The guy has not been committed to his craft. I think anyone with eyes on the situation can and would recognize that. However the warning signs were there. One season of legit production raw prospect that we knew would take time to develop etc. But Morgan and Bryce Young's own father were very high on him. I think in some capacity the reality of our limitation at QB is entering into the equation. Even TMac got a lot of flak over the course of his rookie season for not being able to haul in all of Bryce's passes. At the end of the day our fourth year QB also needs to do his part to maximize the talent we have available. As far as this year. Again. WR round 1 boils down to where are we going to get the touches for the rookie? That would require eating into not only our 8th overall picks touches but also our #2 WR whom oh yeah by the way was UNDRAFTED. I am happy to discuss WR prospects here. I was thrilled we invested what we did last year in TMac because it needed to be done and it made sense from all angles. But nowhere is it written in stone that you cannot draft a good or great WR outside of the first round. Except in the Panthers building apparently. That is not a good reflection on our scouts and front office let me tell ya. Because there's no way on this earth we are going to get back to relevancy and legitimate contender status if we can't pick some gems in the later rounds. Simple and plain.
