I'm happy!!

[Mr. Scot]

I was joking.

 

You really should avoid doing stuff like that.

Michael Oher , 29 in May, has been wildly ineffective for the

majority of his time in the NFL. His release shouldn't come as

a surprise.

[catnip]

Several of the G-man FA picks were washed up until they joined the Panthers.  They had a good season and left for more money (Ginn, Mitchel)

Oher is reunited with his old line coach which should help him improve his game.   He knows this is his last chance to stay in the league so he has to do his best.   He has to beat out players still on the team and any draft pick we make.  Let the best players compete and make the team.  Gman is setting us up for BPA in the draft.

[Mr. Scot]

I have now officially embraced the move.

Michael Oher had a +20.0 @PFF grade in his rookie season.

Since then: -76.8 grade, 2nd-worst of any offensive tackle.

Michael Oher had a +20.0 overall @PFF grade as a rookie in 2009. Never been in the positives since & grade has gotten worse each year.

Oher played right tackle in his rookie season, then moved to left tackle his second year. He went back to the right side his third year and switched to the left in his fourth.

Other supporter form beginning(not cause of some movie either, never seen it) checking in, glad to have oher for comp @ LT/RT.

Doesn't that make him the only Panther to have a Super Bowl ring?

[Mr. Scot]

One thing I like, meaningless though it may be:

 

Those who line up across from the left side of the Panthers offensive line will see staring back at them, this...

 

 

...and this.

 

 

(embrace ugliness)

Nope, Roman Harper. Ed Dickson and Chase Blackburn have rings too if we re-sign them.

ESPN:

"The Oher signing was a peculiar one, and he didn’t give the Titans the turnaround they were hoping for. Instead, he’s one of the primary symbols of the team’s failures in player acquisition."

The Tennessean:

"Oher signed..with the Titans in March, but he was a disappointment and it's safe to assume his roster spot for 2015 is in doubt. Oher started 11 games [at RT], but ranked 74th out of 78 tackles in Pro Football Focus' grading."
