I'm of the opinion we can't go into 2017 with Micheal Oher set to be our starter at Left Tackle. With major concussion issues this past season and playing in just 3 games I don't see him as anything but depth or a candidate to retire.

What say you, roll with Oher or look elsewhere for the key to protecting Cam Newton in 2017?

Unless a FA LT shows up Oher, then Oher is the sure thing.

Like I said, I expect us to get - at the minimum - depth at LT through free agency. Matt Kalil is a likely target, and he'd have possibility as our starter; if he gets it.

I'm coming into this season expecting Oher to be able to play at 100%, otherwise I say we'll find someone.

the free agent tackle class looks pretty lame this year

as usual the panthers have a dilemma like this at the worst possible time


Oher was PFFs worst rated tackle when we got him, iirc... 2nd was Bell.

We will find a scheme fit. I just hope he turns out to be mid 20s and can stay off the injury report.

My gut says omeone other than Michael Oher, but reality is tough.

No college prospect I'd trust to start as a rookie and the free agent prospect pool is lousy. Trade might be tough to work. Could be a surprise cut but you can't count on that. Could try someone already on the team but that's iffy too.

All that said, I'd prefer a change.

Tough offseason ahead.

You have to figure Oher will be on the roster next year without doubt. Unless he retires. Oher's contract status.

3/6/2015: Signed four-year, $24.45 million contract. The deal contains $9.5 million guaranteed. 2016-2019: Under Contract, 2020: Free Agent
 

I believe however counting on Oher next year would be a critical mistake, with the potential to make another season a throw away if we don't have strong contingencies in place.

oher was way down there but i think he ranked a few spots higher than bell.  i had a PFF subscription then and pulled his numbers.  anyway, point taken.  the entire world was laughing their asses off at that signing but gettleman and his staff had seen something on film and it turned out he was more serviceable in pass protection than assumed.

i agree that if oher ends up supplanted somehow it's not guaranteed whatsoever to be due to a blockbuster FA signing or high first rounder.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
