Neuropsychologist here.   I work in Stroke and TBI recovery and rehabilitation.  A big red flag is his continued experience with visuomotor abilities.   Makes me think he experienced some unnoticed micro-hemorrhaging.   This does not tend to persist with simple contusions.

I never hate to be the bearer of bad news,  but if this hasn't dissipated within 3 months,  it may be permanent. 

Doc...as it seems like he at least played some and practiced after the actual concussion, what implications does that have?

We have had one good tackle in the last 15 years.  ONE

Franchise tackles don't grow on trees. 

Funny thing is, for most of Gross' career, the fans didn't appreciate him. up until his last two years, fans kept saying he wasn't any good at LT, was just a good RT. 

Fact is, Gross is the best LT in franchise history. 

Fans don't know how to evaluate the tackles position. so when it's discussed, one literally has to ignore the bs that is spewed. 

The gripe I constantly see is that the Panthers have ignored the position. couldn't be further from the truth. 

Top LTs don't fall in the drafts. they also don't become available in free agency without overspending.  

We got lucky Oher was available after a bad season with the Titans. most fans didn't even want him. he has been the answer. this year has been quite unfortunate, yet fans still lay blame where it doesn't belong. 

Do you, or anybody else, truly believe that Gettleman ignores any position? 

We haven't been in position in any draft for the last 4 + years to even draft a decent tackle. 

Unfortunately, we're back in the position that we have to find another LT. It won't be easy, and fans will give the team no slack, cause they expect the team to  mortgage our future to aquire talent.

Man, that is scary!  While it's easy for us to say "get out before you scramble your brain," for many professional athletes, they don't have a meaning outside of sports.  I don't think Oher would be in that position, but if it's this serious, he should retire.  Sucks for us, but it's his life he has to live after he hangs up his cleats.  Does he want to do it, or will someone else for him?

well, I never like it when people say we couldn't land X in a draft.  

I mean teams make moves all the time for need and players.  We have made moves to grab guys like Devin Funchess which Dave just had to have.  Just because you look back at drafts say an OT wasn't slotted at random spot 46 doesn't mean you couldn't get a position you wanted. 

There have been OTs in the draft the last 4 years.

Even if he does recover I think he needs to walk away. He has enough money to retire and start a new career, or be a stay at home dad. This isn't even close to worth risking your long term quality of life and longevity. We'll rebuild the tackle position in the draft, or buy a new one. God knows we have the money with Gettleman the money hoarder.

Not sure about that. Williams looks good and is still improving

 

Williams is a quality backup but I'm not really impressed. His run blocking is sound when he is in the right position but pass blocking needs to improve greatly. At some point we are going to have to figure our if we are a passing team setting up the run or vice versa and install players that fit that.

      Joint Practice - Jets

      Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.

      Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.

      You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
