Future of the Panthers offense in one photo

The Panthers need to stop fuging around and draft a franchise LT in the 1st round, thats the only answer.

The biggest problem is there aren't good tackles coming out of college anymore, and drafting offensive linemen is a total crapshoot. There's a lot of reasons why, but spread offenses have completely devalued the position, so they're not learning how to play it in college. 

Like this is a serious thing people talk about constantly and you're grossly over simplying the matter if you just think "yeah grab one in the first and lock it down for ten years no big"

even picking one up in the offseason was a gamble that apparently we didn't do well on, but who's to say one of the other options would have done better here? they might have, or maybe what they are being asked to do is just hard for anyone.

we need to be able to adjust what we do to who we have and who's going to be available down the road. getting a sound perspective like what you stated above should be the thing we build around.

Agree with this 100%.  You simply cannot waste a high 1st round draft pick, say pick 8 overall for example, on a LT if the value isn't there.  You can't reach for a player b/c that's the best way to set your franchise back.  I'm not arguing the fact that Cam needs to be protected better, he obviously does, but finding quality tackles in the draft has been slim pickings in recent years.

Any tanking team with a decent OT in their 20s?  Throw a pick their way.  At this point, we're going to have to overpay in a trade for an OT, if we want any chance of Cam returning to MVP (or close to it) form.

Trade for Duane Brown, but that ship has likely sailed, plus it'd be hard to sign him.

Why run Curtis Samuel deep when we have Devin Funchess?!

The problem certainly wasn't Funchess on this day.

edit: I do understand the point but hate to see this appear as a way for others to bash Funchess who looks decent this year.

Why is Fuchess getting dragged through the mud in this thread?  All he's done is get open this year.  He can't throw it to himself.

He's played well the last two games. If Cam hadn't overthrown him on that deep sideline pass he would have had over 100 yards yesterday.

Funchess should be the underneath possession receiver. He has the build and hands for it. Samuel should be our new Tedd Ginn, Jr. with better hands. CMC should be working the slot. Moose, Smitty, Proehl all over again if they can get it right.

    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
    • Theilen is about to retire. I dont care about him sticking around. Lets say you did and he retires at the end of the year. Now that connection is gone next year and it's just another excuse for regression that was just held off. 
    • Short term is the key point. Those first two games without him where pretty bad. They still aren't back to where they were offensively but they are getting better. Hopefully Tet continues to improve and Coker eventually returns - and stays healthy.
