I let Oher and Remmers fight it out during pre-season. Split the reps. Then who ever played better should get the nod. 

 

Agreed. Remmers simply had a better season than Oher, i dont like the fact of handing him a starting spot simply because we signed him. Great coaching staff but one thing i dont like is how they cater to veteran pick ups who need to prove they can play

On one hand, I'm not happy we're giving up so many picks when we have so many needs. On the other hand, we have finally begun to address glaring holes on the offense to give us more stability on both sides of the ball. In any case, welcome to the panthers Daryl.

Point is to get guys who will make the team or at least compete to make the team. DG apparently thinks this draft is trash. Players don't "fill a need" if they don't make the squad. But if you really look at it the major needs we had...we filled.

OT - Oher, Williams, Stanford kid

WR - Boykin, Ginn, Funchess

ST - Shaq, Mayo, Artis Payne, Ginn

RB - Artis Payne

We hopefully addressed our problem with scoring inside the 25. Addressed our terrible tackling and blocking on ST. Shaq wasn't a need as much as he was a luxury but having him make Chancellor-type plays for us will huge.

Williams was a monster in the sugar bowl vs Alabama 2 years ago on the Left side. Kid is going to be a helluva RT for us. Otah type road grader also with just enough skills to be a god pass blocker from the right side. HUGE get.

Before the draft even began, this guy was my favorite RT prospect. He LOVES football and plays with such immense power it's insane. He can be what Jeff Otah was supposed to be if he wasn't a lazy slob. Love this pick. He will be our week 1 starter at RT, mark my words.

We like having a RT at both our LT and RT spots. Helps the run game, helps our running QB, and helps Shula/Cam get the ball out quicker on pass plays

for 2014, we moved a meh RT in Bell to LT

for 2015, we have at least three options at LT:

move a RT that was a worse RT than Bell to LT (Oher)

move a RT that was a better RT than Oher to LT (Remmers)

move a stud RT prospect in Daryl Williams to LT

won't be surprised if Williams wins. He's more athletic than Oher is now in his old age. Oher was a good prospect back in the day because of his athleticism (and it allowed him to do well as a rookie), but as Oher lost a step and his athleticism declined, he got worse and worse because his technique sucks and he doesn't take well to coaching

Williams is a better athlete than Oher now and apparently takes to coaching better (at Oklahoma at least). Of the RTs we are looking at for our LT spot (Oher, Remmers, Williams), Williams should win the spot. And don't count out young Martin. We didn't know we could get him when we got Oher. Gettleman might very well have wanted Martin over Oher in the 1st place

Lol?

Oher is just 28. He is in the prime of his career.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
