I just thought with all the talk of Collins, and then today there's a thread about Whitworth from the Bengals, it appears many still want a starting caliber-tackle to add to the mix.

I remembered Long being discussed ewrlier in the offseason. Well, it appears he is still a free agent and he hasn't announced his retirement either.. Would you be interested in bringing him in if Collins doesn't work out? And if so, what would be your projected starting OL?

Yes to any LT that will sign and create competition. May the best man win. Sitting on our laurels is risky.

It seems we were having this same conversation about Bell being the man last year. I like G-Man but feel he is putting us in a very vulnerable position at the LT position.

Oher, Martin, and Foucault is pretty vulnerable, I would agree.

Maybe i missed it in a presser or something, but i thought everyone loved the Williams pick because he could come in and provide competition and possibly start at one of the tackle spots, too?

Honestly,regardless of what else happens,i dont think foucault shouod even be on the team come week 1.

What about Martin and Oher?

 

They can come and mow my grass on Sundays, I don't give a fug.  Unless they show that they can compete and earn a starting spot, at this point I'm not sold they are the best choice.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have.

      Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
