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 tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      By strato · Posted

      Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade.

      Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
