What do we do now with Nate Chandler?


Recommended Posts

most will probably say we should cut him, and understandably so. however, I'm wondering if he doesn't still have a place on the team. what if we moved him back to guard? didn't he start on the defensive line as a DT?

don't get me wrong, I dont think he should ever be asked to play OT ever again. but I'm curious whether he could benefit this team in another position.

what say you Huddle?

Honestly the kid should be proud he has lasted this long in the NFL as an undrafted DT turned OG/OT. He will have to compete for a job in camp like every other guy, He has flexibility, but he lacks quality play at the positions he has been assimilated into. He has to make a big jump to make the 53.

He's gotta be on the outside looking in right now in terms of getting a roster spot. Right now, we don't need to do anything with him. Bring him to camp and let him compete.

I'm of a similar mindset. I think he is just camp fodder at this point. but I also think that, used correctly, he has a chance to benefit the team. I'm with you. let him compete at multiple positions

What do you mean you what do we do?

 

Have you seen our pathetic OL? Even with the addition of our elite back up OT just drafted? We're still pitiful along the OL. So we keep Chandler, because we don't have anyone better, as sad and unfortunate that is.

    • Yeah it is wasted for everyone. Even AT, who he fed, felt like it was wasted. Was done with it.  The resources…  surely as a long term Panthers fan and from that viewpoint, he put it on a side track that does not lead anywhere but right back where we were. Years later.  If we had healthy CBs vs TB in ‘22 we could have gotten into the playoffs with a losing record. We essentially blew all of that time, money and assets to do a 360. 3 fuging years.    Now we are supposed to wait 5 years for him to make mid. Top 15 ranking. I am not sure they would have waited 5 years for Joe Montana. You think Belichick waits 5 years for Brady? Not me. And we are in the era of the cheap slotted salary for drat picks era, where it is supposed to be easier to move on. You have to want to though and you have to be in charge with a clue.  He has had flashes that lasted a whole game, a couple of times. I could stretch that to 4 maybe but I am not even sure of that. Maybe. He has had substantially more flashes that lasted a half or quarter, but all that combined doesn’t stack as high as his weak performances.  It is maddening.       
    • Well, I guess we know which team showed up.
    • Here is how I see it...You can talk to the QB until 15 seconds before the play clock expires.  There are reasons to believe that Canales is spending a lot of time gathering information from those in better position to make the decisions.  Have you noticed how often we break the huddle between 15 and 13 seconds remaining?  I have a theory... 1. Canales is on the sideline.  His view of the field is not as good as the OC, who is sitting in the box in the sky--he can see the defense, spacing, substitutions, etc.  This means that Canales must get information from up top before selecting a play. 2. Canales has to spend time during the week with the defense, special teams, etc. in addition to the offense.  The OC is with the offense all week.  He knows the plays that were run well in practice--he knows the nicks and dings they might be complaining about--he knows their questions and input about certain plays, formations, etc.  Canales may be aware, but not AS aware.  3.  Canales likes the moniker "QB whisperer."  He may feel more confident being the voice in Bryce's helmet because he is Bryce's mentor.  Just a theory--but Canales could be the play caller because Bryce is the QB and he is trying to literally whisper into the QB ear.
