Does Darryl Williams have a legit shot at replacing Mike Remmers?

Byron Bell is/was bad. Nate Chandler is/was bad. Mike Remmers is an average player who has performed satisfactorily against almost everyone he's faced, and it's unfortunate for both him and Carolina that they faced arguably the best edge rusher in the NFL in the Super Bowl. Not saying that Remmers is an answer or that Carolina shouldn't look to upgrade, because they should, but calling him bad is incorrect.

get ready to be accused of accepting mediocrity and drinking this penny pinching FO's kool aid and not wanting to win championships and on and on

That Kool-Aid was pretty tasty. I believe I'll have another glass. How about you?

Remmers is not the answer full stop. He choked when it counted. 

The same could be said for several players. We can't replace everyone just because of one bad game, even though it was the superb owl.

As often as not, guys who think they're being edgy and going against the status quo are really just being stupid.

That one's a clear example.

I'm not sure Daryl Williams is the answer for countering small / speed DEs like Beasley and Miller.  He has very long arms but was in the second percentile among all NFL OTs for lateral agility per his combine results.  By measurables, Remmers should be more agile while Williams much stronger in the run game.

The caveat, of course, is that measurables aren't everything and he'll get his opportunity.  I think he can be a better OT than Remmers but I think he might have the same liability (speed on the edge).

Yep. Williams will struggle with the elite speed rushers too. That was his weakness coming out and weaknesses very rarely become strengths.

He also choked in the regular season too and I predicted he would be a huge reason why we would fail in the postseason.

Gettleman pointed out that the team is like 24-4 with him on the field, and if you're referring to the Atlanta game few players looked good that day.

Again, I'm not saying that the team shouldn't look for an upgrade/give Williams a genuine shot and I'm sure that the FO and staff are acutely aware of the vulnerability to true speed, but Remmers is far from bad.

yeah remmers was clearly our worst offensive lineman last season and odds are he's going to have the fight of his life on his hands in training camp.  which is the way it should be.

he's not horrible.  the rest of the line consists of two pro bowlers one of which is possibly the best center in the league, a very promising guard that's still developing, and michael oher turning in a performance that put him in the top half of the league as a pass blocking tackle.  if we released mike remmers today his phone would be ringing and he'd be signed on as a presumptive starter somewhere pretty quickly.

Remmers is a serviceable vet that will eventually become solid/very good depth at a position that requires it.

Daryl Williams has a shot at not only becoming the starting RT but if he continues to impress, hs an outside chance at LT as well.

I am very excited to see what this guy can do beside either a Turner or Norwell.  That's a whole lot of beef right there gents.

Again, being ranked at the bottom four of starters at your position isn't "satisfactory" nor is it "admirable" or "a solid job" or "other stupid cliche used to build up a bad player because he has a panther logo on his helmet"

 

He is a bad football player. This isn't a case of "yeah maybe we could do better" its a case of "we absolutely should find someone better"

 

The narrative that he is a"a solid football player, broes" needs to go away as quickly as possible before we get sucked into having this bad football player starting for our team for an extended period of time, costing us more games single handedly.

finding someone who is even an average pass blocker is hard.  finding a guy who can do it at a high level consistently is really, really difficult and unless you're doing it through the draft it's not cheap.

on a related note, does anyone remember the furor on this site after 2014 when there were so many people banging pots and pans over the panthers not even targeting james hurst as an UDFA?  well he was kind of one of the worst tackles in football last season, so that's why nobody is talking about him.

By what metric was Remmers ranked in the bottom 4 of starters at RT? He was middle of the pack by PFF.
