Well this out of shape thing sure is a 180 from what was being said just a few weeks ago...
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/michael-oher-remains-in-concussion-protocol-as-april-approaches/
 
Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman said Friday that Oher - despite not being officially cleared - is working out vigorously with the team.
"He looks great, he sounds great, but he's still in the protocol," Gettleman said, via Panthers.com. "He's working out five days a week. He's working his fanny off. He's doing NFL workouts. He's fully engaged in that weight room."
"He's doing NFL workouts. His workouts are not for the faint of heart," Gettleman said. "That's what I can tell you."

Methinks Oher's of "the faint of heart".

The coaching staff and front office are not always honest with the media, nor are they obligated to be honest about everything.

Not going to bash Oher, and I'm going to hope he gets it together. Honestly, we need him, whether that's as a starter or for depth. Panthers are doing the right thing by giving him some time. I'm concerned about his mental. Oher had a rough beginning of life, and all it takes is a slight threat for things to be appearing like it's heading that way or a major let down for it all to spiral out of control mentally.

Welp. Hopefully a serviceable OT is cut or even traded for at this point...can't go into the season relying on essentially 3 unknowns protecting Cam. 

Moton - Would think he will be raw

D. Williams - Unproven, but hopefully surprises and finds consistency

Kalil - A hyped up name...but the injuries and nobody honestly knows what we're getting there.

I tell you what.  Some of you amaze me.  When the Uber incident happened a couple of weeks ago everyone was saying the driver got what he deserved.  Whatever.  Now he's a thug.

If Gettleman is saying he is working hard and getting into shape.  I would be more inclined to believe him than some over zealous fan that says his picture in a mug shot makes him look 400lbs.

This is someone's livelihood you are talking about not some fugging game you pick and play.

Why don't some of you cut him some slack and hope everything works out.  It doesn't seem the FO is ready to axe him just yet. 

If he cannot get out of the protocol that that is god's will and I wish him the best. 

Till then he is a Panther and we all should support his return. After all he was the Starting LT in our greatest season ever.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
