Good read from Max Henson on Panthers.com

I found this snippet about Wegher most interesting.

"You have to think long term as well as short term," Gettleman said. "That’s really what it was. We feel that Brandon has got a chance to be a really good back.

 

I said it a few days ago and got a ribbing for it, but next season the Artis-Payne / Wegher combo is the new double trouble.... and will be more effective than the old one was in many seasons.

It appears Gettleman sees the obvious. Running games are built with an offensive line first followed by good scouting for later round runners.

But... but... Gettleman did nothing in our offseason to improve our OLine.  Oher are you kidding me?  And some 3rd round rookie and those no name guys off the street from last year.  Obviously G'man has no clue how to scout OLine talent.

It's certainly a possibility that the team looks to move on from Stewart if his play doesn't match his contract, or he gets hurt again. But if Stewart can stay healthy, he should have a few more productive years left in him. He's still only twenty eight. With him and Artis-Payne as our one-two punch, we have an exciting pairing going forwards. 

Wegher has shown promise in preseason, but he first has to prove himself in regular season when he gets his opportunities. If he takes them, maybe he carves out a bigger role for himself, but it will be difficult to see him surpass Artis-Payne and Stewart unless one of them struggle.

I love your enthusiam but the talent level is compeltey different between the two, people will realize how valuable Stewart will be once the season gets rolling.

At their peak and when healthy Double Trouble was one of the best RB tandems in NFL history. CAP and Wegher may be a great tandem but they aren't as talented. Let's go easy on the hyperbole

If only they were half as good as the legend that surrounds them today! 

It was one season and really just half that season in 2008. They were good no doubt, but time removed has inflated the greatness dramatically

Thank you for paying attention. 

The myth is so much greater than the reality ever was. Deangelo wasn't worth much for the past few seasons and Stew was often injured.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
