Trai Turner says Michael Oher plans to keep playing

Turner sheds light on Oher's future

Quote

 

Panthers offensive lineman Trai Turner said Oher plans to play in 2017 after missing the final 13 games this season. A source close to Oher confirmed Thursday that Oher expects to return next season.

The Panthers have said little about Oher’s condition or future outlook since he entered the concussion protocol Sept. 30. When the team placed Oher on injured reserve two months later, coach Ron Rivera says there wasn’t enough time left in the season to work Oher back into shape.

Glad that Oher seems to be healthy, and hope he really thought about this decision. I'm sure he loves the game of football, and really doesn't want an injury to end his career - but I really hope it'll be a decision that won't be life-altering in a bad way.

Only move I see happening is finding depth at LT - that is if Oher is back to playing shape/healthy. Maybe go for Matt Kalil, but I don't think our o-line is in as bad of shape as many make it out to be. Remmers can backup Daryl, and a FA can backup Oher.

We may get an OT as high as the 3rd round compensatory pick we have, but no higher. We'll probably look at measurables and see if there's one we can develop.

For those of you wondering "bah why not a 1st" compare this year's crop with last year's crop of OTs.

Cam Robinson is a low 2nd rounder to 3rd rounder at best if he went for last year's draft. There is no OT worth a high pick or one that'll make an immediate impact, whether you like it or not.

I think we need to invest our first rounder in a tackle. If big hog mollies are the thing then here is a chance to get our franchise left tackle for the next decade. If nothing else start him on the right side like we did Gross and move him when he is ready.

I don't see any first rounder being our future. This year's top prospect (Cam Robinson - mediocre at pass blocking; awful at run blocking) would be a low second rounder during last year's draft - anything but a sure thing.

I can see us looking at a guy with potential (physically and mentally) and grabbing him as soon as our compensatory pick, but otherwise don't think there's much worth to draft one.

    • PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.   
    • Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor. 
    • Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
