Context - Why Daryl Williams Supposedly Looks "Good" While Matt Kalil Sucks

For those who study our offensive line woes, most want Taylor Moton starting. After all, it is clear Daryl William's lack of athleticism for the tackle position is hurting us, which even the Panthers notice.

While he's been getting PFF's praise, one fact helps clear the muddy waters - how much help he gets.

And, according to this statistic, he's one of the top OTs when it comes to getting help:

That right there shows why Daryl Williams has been looking "good." He gets the most help from our o-line, with Trai Turner having to compensate a lot. If he were to try and hold on his own, it's very likely he'd make Matt Kalil look like an all-pro.

Speaking of Matt Kalil, he appears to be getting little to no help himself. That's why he looks absolutely terrible out there, because the Panthers are dedicating their resources to help Daryl Williams. That and he really lacks the power that is needed to go against the average NFL DE.

So, thoughts?

All three of the guys getting more help than Williams was a high 1st round pick. (6, 8, and 11 overall to be specific).

How have there been so many disappointing 1st round OTs in recent years? OL used to be considered the safest 1st round pick you could make. Now it seems one of the riskiest.

Also, how in the hell do the Titans have two of the top three OTs getting the most help? Is anyone actually running a route?

Regarding Kalil, you don't pay an OT $55M to help him out. You pay him that to anchor that side of the OL. Williams is a young mid-round pick. It's not surprising to see him getting help. We simply paid Kalil to be something he isn't. But, Shula has to understand this and realize he doesn't have an elite LT over there or anything even close to it, contract be damned.

Now that Cam has started to break down all thos is being seen. I know Cam is no way perfect but he has masked alot pf flaws on offense and so has Stew and Olsen, Kahil all are breaking down.. These so called coaches cant even draft or sign anyone to help them bc they do not know who to play or when to play players just as well as play designs and play calls. Such a waste of time and talent.

Exactly! The coaches shouldn't worry about who is getting paid what, but who is struggling or needs help.

I haven't watched every play of every game like some of you. From what I've seen at times this year, it looks like Williams has trouble with guys coming off of the edge on pass plays. He doesn't seem to have the agility and quickness to play in space against the better DE's. Do any of you think he could possibly function better in the NFL as a guard?

      Many layers my frend- Panthers had a draft recently. They picked 4 defense players. Each player picked 11, 22, 33, 55 as their number. For some players that number match the round or pre-draft round rank, example- Prince was a 3rd rounder and choose 33. Nic was a 1st rounder on some mock drafts and Dan Morgan said they had him as a 1st, he picked 11. Cam Jackson recently switched his number to 55, same as draft and has been telling Dave he wants to be special over and over.  The 44 was to add GOAT feels, thoughts, and more intrigue to this rookie phenomenon. X files was cause it was a great TV show and maybe it was playing when this theory came together.......   I hope this helps!

      The best things Purdy has are certainly important tools for any QB. His accuracy his timing his decision making etc. I feel like he is a high end Teddy Bridgewater. You can compete and win in the regular season with this especially in a weakened NFC but where his limitations come into focus is when you are trying to contend for a Super Bowl you are going against elite and in some instances generational QB's like Mahomes. And when the time has come for him to go up against Mahomes he simply can't get it done. Now certainly he is not alone in that regard and people will point to another highly regarded QB such as Josh Allen who also cannot get by Mahomes. But the difference I see is Allen is not IMO at a phsyical disadvantage in that matchup whereas Purdy is. And that is with what had been to this point a comically stacked roster around Purdy and let's be clear we cannot understate that regardless of which side of the fence we land on in this debate. Purdy has had a top 5 roster and a top 5 coach. And the last time they went to the Super Bowl they leaned on McCaffrey extremely heavily. Now with what they are having to pay him and divert limited resources elsewhere they face a steep climb to get back to the Super Bowl let alone actually win it.

      Lonzo mentioned Melo going to the Clippers, but he also said we would draft Dylan Harper and he isn't making it to 4.
