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.

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
