If I worked this hard to be so negative about sports, I'd just quit watching.

 

Why is refusing to view something with homer goggles "negative"? He's not a good tackle, and hasn't been a good tackle for quite some time. Does that mean he can't be a better player in Carolina? Absolutely not. But to assume he's going to turn around is foolish at best. He's been one of the worst Tackles in the league for multiple years now. No guarantee that he's better than Bell at LT either.

This signing is at best meh. 

 

Oher is simply not a good OT. He has been terrible the past couple of seasons. 

 

Right now you should only expect him to he vet depth with the POTENTIAL to be a decent stop gap. 

 

It comes down to the money. Two years at 8 mil seems too much for a guy that has played as poorly as Oher has.

sure about that? because Oher allows more sacks per snap than Bell does. At RT, Oher allowed 1 sack per 108-109 snaps, while at RT, Bell only allowed 1 sack per 116-118 snaps. At LT, Oher allowed 1 sack per 92 snaps, while Bell only allowed 1 sack per 109 sacks

How many sacks did Cam prevent By scrambling? All those rushing yards weren't from designed QB runs.

There's a big difference between not viewing a move through homer goggles and scouring the internet far and wide to make dozens of posts about how horrible Oher is.

Last year everyone - including myself - bitched about Gettleman not addressing OT. Now he signs one and everyone still bitches. The FA OT market sucks. It's not like Jon Ogden and Orlando Pace in their prime are out there begging to play for the Panthers for vet min. Bulaga is the only proven quality starter on the market and he's probably gonna get paid like he's a future HOFer due to that.

I'm honestly not sure what some of y'all expected.

I think the mods need to start cracking down on "negative nancys"  Some of you are never happy with anything.  Can we not just welcome this guy to the team instead of bitch moan and groaning about things you dont know poo about or have any control over.

Rightfully so too. Jared Veldheer's cap hit last year was 2.5 million and he ended up as a top ten Offensive Tackle.....

      The ickey ekwonu question...

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      A team should always be putting at least one or two draft picks in at tackle and guard each season. Those guys just don't last nearly long enough and those that do get very, very expensive. In our situation, we need a little more time to see what the Icky injury works itself out to. Njiman performed really well out there and if this injury lingers into the next season, then he might do well enough there to hold the line for the team. Or we could draft early if there is a stud LOT in the draft when our spot comes along.  Honestly, we may be looking at replacing both LT and RT this season at this point. Moton is getting long in the tooth and while he deserves a shot to go for a playoff run with this team, I don't know whether we will really see him come back next season yet. It's still so darned early in all of this to say.

      It seems the Panthers have earned their respect back

      Because we had a ton of things go our way this year and made the playoffs with a -70 point differential.  This year was the outlier.  Regression to the mean is unavoidable.  So the team will have to significantly improve to beat 8 wins next year.

      One thing I noticed in this game (and I say this as the biggest of Bryce Young haters) is that Bryce did do a solid job of throwing into voids in this game, and leading receivers on crossers.  There were a few times where I was thinking "where the hell is he throwing it" only for a receiver to appear out of nowhere and catch it in stride.  Mike McDaniel might be a guy that can squeeze a little bit of production out of the otherwise ghastly Bryce Young. His offenses heavily feature that style of passing game.  I've heard Idzik is drawing interest from other teams.  If so, bringing McDaniel in at OC would be a stellar move.  I know it'll never happen, but fun to think about.
