Was changing both tackle position a big mistake?

Recommended Posts

Last week I predicted Donald Hawkins would start because the Panthers would not want to downgrade both tackle positions by putting Remmers at left and Williams at right. I was wrong, and it turned out terrible. 

Should the Panthers consider keeping Remmers on the right and starting Hawkins on the left? Could it be worse?

When you put that out there before the game, I benched Cam in fantasy. That's how much of a mistake I thought it was. To no surprise, I started Stafford and that proved an even bigger mistake but that's beside the point.

At least with Hawkins, we could've had a better idea which side needed more help. Instead, we gave the Falcons more options on where to attack.

Anderson didn't look half as troubled as Cam did, is the line bad yep but I think Cam would get sacked regularly with Joe Staley protecting him. Whether that's down to long developing routes, guys incapable of getting a good release and being open or him holding the ball for what feels like an eternity! It's always been his issue but this year he seems to think he can take 5 seconds every throw.
The tackles are a mess but they are more than serviceable that was proven last year and at times this year.

Honestly at this point I don't think it would matter who we put where. Teams have figured out our max protect plan and just green dog blitz us anytime we keep extra guys in. Combine that with the fact our wrs are unable to get open so Cam has no outlets to throw too and we are screwed. Unless we have a couple hall of fame caliber tackles hidden somewhere we are in for a long ass season. Hell I'd take not turnstile level tackles at this point. Damn I miss Jordan Gross.

    • If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.
    • Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
    • it's not so much this personal vendetta against the Carolina Panthers as it is more about Bryce Young never not once been in the same conversation with the top 15 or even top 20 Qbs in the NFL ..just saying
