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.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
