It's oddly consistent that analysts who complain about the OL moves, don't offer much in the way of what they should have done. I'm of the opinion that we got the best that was reasonably available taking into consideration cap space and available talent.

No dude, don't you know? They should have done MORE.

Seriously though, last year I asked people what else they would have done given the cap space we had to work with and the talent that was available to sign/draft, and no one could give me an alternative to what we put together. Not a single person. Just a bunch of bitching about "Gettleman sucks and should have signed/drafted someone better"... 

Who, dammit, who?!?!

Number of June practices Graziano attended? 

 

0

To be fair, they have a priority to other teams too.  Do you expect all these analyst to attend all the Panthers practices?  I mean, damn.  We're a small market team.  Give the man some kind of credit for at least knowing the dude was on our roster now.  Half the NFL.com analyst don't even know that.

Oh, I don't have a problem with what he says,  as long as people understand it is about as informed as an average message board topic.

when people bring up our wr core and oline as a huge weakness i cant tell they dont follow this team. our wr core upgraded astronomically we added tedd gin which had a great season 2 years ago , we got a star in kelvin benjamin , we drafted another beast 6 foot 5 wr in funchess that knows every wr position, we got a young star in corey brown that is getting better every week .

now on to the oline , our oline isnt as bad as everyone thinks. oher and martin might not be great but they are upgrades over chandler and bell.  norwell and turner had  a solid rookie year , i believe they both did not give up a sack . remmers turned our oline around and created holes for stewart last 5 games and we also drafted a hog mollie in d, williams that dident give up a sack last season

DG traded up twice in this draft to get other players at other positions. He said himself we were going for the LT Humphries who got picked by the Cardinals one spot ahead of us. He must firmly believe Oher can play. If he fails, it's squarely on DG.

At least you're offering something. How far up should DG have traded to get LT Humphries? And of course if Oher fails, it's on DG; that's his job to take responsibility for the talent on the roster. I think he's done pretty good so far.

Hes done very well.  And while every analyst destroys the lack of offensive lineman we've had the past well two years.  Did he upgrade over Bell?  Sure, but was it an upgrade from absolutely horrible to good?  fug no, it went from absolutely horrible to bad.

Every single team has people talking about unproven players that they are optimistic about in the offseason.  The same argument you made in support of Remmers was probably said about Nate Chandler last year.  He had a good finish in 2013.  I think people were saying PFF has positive grades on him.  In this league, everyone on the outside is going to doubt you until you indisputably prove yourself.  If you are not a sure thing, people are gonna point that out.  And even when you do start playing well, it takes awhile for people to notice.

      Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
