I was wrong about Oher

[shaqattaq]

I admit that PFF's grading generally confuses and irritates me, but I like this quote. I admit that never in my wildest dreams did I expect Oher to play as well as he has.

" – Possibly the biggest surprise this year for the Panthers offense wasn’t Newton’s breakout season, as he’s had stretches of high quality football in the past. No, it’s the fact that they somehow got Michael Oher (+3.4) to perform like a competent left tackle in pass protection. Newton’s blindside protector hadn’t had a positive pass blocking grade since his rookie year of 2009, and even then, it came mostly at right tackle. This year, he finished with a +7.5 pass blocking grade, the 11th best in the NFL, and on Sunday, he didn’t allow a single pressure. He still has his struggles in run blocking, but the Panthers couldn’t be happier with his performance after trudging through a season with Byron Bell a year ago. "

When he sees Cam he sees his family. You protect your family.

So curious...how did Byron do for Tennessee this year?  Without even looking at stats I can assume we got the better of results from the swapping of left tackles?

They moved him to Guard and he started 16 games. Im not sure how well he did but you gotta figure we walked away with the better player.

Oher should be in consideration for comeback player of the year. Though obviously Berry should win it.

Yeah Oher has been a pleasant surprise. I'm really worried about Remmers in the playoffs though. Hopefully he can put up a great performance. Last Seattle game Remmers was directly responsible for an int.

He's been back at RT since before we played I believe.

And Mariota was injured quite a bit this year so... take that as you will.
