Gman: ...we're going to attack the issue [of LT]


top dawg

I believe Dave has already moved on form Oher.

The only way to reverse is if oher(in GREAT shape) has a face-to-face with Dave and sells him he's 100% committed to panther football. 

I know most here don't care about PS players, but for the last few weeks of the season the panthers carried 3 LTs out of 10 on the squad. That's a unusual high number and all signed future deals. If Tryus Thompson gets his act together, he can be a ok answer to LT. Be like old times with Williams at RT and Thompson at LT.

Love having Thompson as a project, but that's what he is.  5 teams in 2 years.

Sounds fimilar......I know people bag on remmers hard, cause .......well I truly don't know why. He trys hard and is a good RT, decent LT(judging he got better), and great utility OLmen. Not getting hopes up, but maybe history repeats itself. Having old friend Williams (believe he's his godfather too)around and Williams knowing the environment & coaching staff, it could help his chances.

I don't bag on Remmers. I agree, he works hard and gives it his all. He's simply not a starting caliber NFL OT. That's not his fault, that's the Panthers' fault for trying to cheapskate at OT.

Come on LG, you're smarter than to base your opinion off a couple bad plays. (I partly blame Shula for not helping him in the SB) You do also know remmers went to OTas, TC and the first few weeks of season as RT. Then one day he woke up and was the LT. Yes sir the start was very rough, but he did get better. Judging on the last 3-4 games he settled and did fine. But for some reason to many he's always been bad and never improved.... Carry on with that low IQ sheep mentality to fit in with other huddlers for lulz, I guess.

It's not a couple of plays. He's a serviceable backup and I'd like to keep him in that role, but he's not a starting caliber NFL OT. 

All the condescension and mockery in the world won't change that. It just makes you look bad.

I'll gladly look bad than only judge him off a few bad plays when he has plenty more good ones. Plus when I see improvements, I will not allow the huddle bash crew to think for me.

I think he's starting caliber but on the very low tier end. The fact he can play more than one position at this point makes him a fantastic backup for this team but I agree, I prefer him not be our full time starter. That said, when healthy I actually think we have one of the better Olines in the league. Certainly in the top half. And that's with Remmers starting, so if we upgrade, watch out.

Remmers isn't great, but he was serviceable at RT, as the SB season is a testament to. He never had the talent to play LT on a consistent basis, everybody knew (knows) that, but unfortunately due to injuries and oversights that's the position he was put in. That's not his fault, and in my estimation it doesn't deserve being ragged on by Huddlers.

All that being said, I'd love to get a couple of OTs that push Remmers and Williams (who hasn't even played to Remmers' level) to the bench.
