How good is Mike Remmers

[Roebling]

This guy was rated positively by PFF in pass protection, and was an adequate run blocker.... Do the Panthers need to upgrade him? Is he simply a solid NFL backup? Is he someone you build on? It's just some questions for tonight. There are a lot of potential RT's in this draft, but do we actually need that? With a positive pass protection rating, do we need to use a first rounder on this position?

Similar could be said of our interior. We have two solid guards in Norwell and Turner, and a backup with raw talent in Amini. Do we need to spend one of our top two picks on either guard spots or RT? Just some food for thought. 

I was thinking about Flowers more and more as it gets closer. He and Peat I think are the best in this draft, in regards to game readiness for the LT spot. We would be lucky if one fell. I'm not so sure Remmers needs to be taken out. Especially with plenty of talented players in other positions, that we need help with.

Too early to tell.  Looked promising at times, but I wouldn't mind an upgrade.

Good depth, and that's about it IMO. He played well all things considered last year...but I tend to think it was more a flash in the pan, than a sign of things to come.

It should be noted that his weekly PFF grade declined as he started more games. Did teams get tape on him which allowed them to exploit some flaws they discovered? He had basically never played before so that's a possibility that can't be discounted. Right now I'm extremely hopeful for him, but at the same time there is a reason we were his 6th team in 3 years.

He played good but we need to see more of him

[The Huddler]

We can do better. Hes a stopgap, and will be good depth in the future

[Jimmy]

It's not a coincidence that once he became a starter our run game improved and JStew was the league's leading rusher the last 4 games of the year. I like him a lot but agree we need to see more.

Don't be surprised if he wins the starting job.

That goes both ways though.  Guys who just aren't up to snuff don't get SIX tries.  Clearly there's something that six different teams have seen to bring the guy in, but it just so happens that we were the first team for which he actually produced on the field.  No way to tell if he can maintain it though.  Too small a sample.

I prefer the Panthers assume this about all the positions to be honest.

 

Remmers bounced around for a while before coming here.

We have to decide if his play was "flash in the pan" or "finally found a fit".

 

Rich Gannon happenings do exist, but they are rare.

 

I'd love Remmers and Norwell to be ballers and the only fight in camp on the OL is for LT. History tells us both 3 OLine spots need competition and skill/talent upgrade.

[1989]

A solid LT in the draft... slide Oher to the RT and that's a pretty bad ass line with solid depth.

[L-TownCat]

He better be good.  We need to see some underdogs, or just some young guys take that next step.

6 teams in 2 years.

Competition breeds success. If Remmers were to beat out a draft pick then the team wins.......no matter what
