The best OL in football is adding depth. He probably won't ever see the field if he makes the team.

Doug Free retired and Ronald Leary signed with Denver.  They just lost 40% of their starting line and Collins has been a bust for them.  Bell will play a lot so Dak better have a good Life Insurance policy and Romo needs to be available.  I would laugh, but our line is worse.

An UDFA in Collins is a bust? Wow! No where near. He'll be starting at LG or RT. If he starts at RG then Chaz Green, will man the RT spot. He'll be taking the Cowboys version of Mike Remmers place. Collins started before getting injured in the 2nd or 3rd game of the year. I see why you guys have that attitude about the OL, you don't pay too much attention to it, do ya?

Collins is a bust and was moved from OT to guard because he was getting whipped at OT.  Dallas averaged more yardage after Collins was injured.  You just skim headlines, don't ya?

Again, an UDFA as a bust. Moving from OT to OG is commonplace now days. You're right, Dallas did average more yards after Collins got hurt. Leary was just better than he was. Collins is better than any OG or OT that we have here. No, I actually watch the games and pay attention. I just don't follow the ball. The only way that Bell see's the field is if Green or another OT gets hurt. Again, this is a depth signing. Something the Panthers need to start worrying about.

I think his primary point was that it's basically impossible to be a bust as a UDFA.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
