Panthers OL worst in NFCS

Last and most definitely least, Carolina has a ton of question marks along its offensive line. Long-time center Ryan Kalil has missed more than half of the last two seasons with neck injuries and his brother Matt was an unmitigated and expensive disaster at left tackle last year. Andrew Norwell left in free agency, leaving a gaping hole at left guard which might have to be filled by Amini Silatolu for the time being. Right tackle Daryl Williams had an All Pro season out of nowhere but he’s in the last year of his deal and reportedly far apart from the team on extension numbers. Their best lineman now is right guard Trai Turner, who is still not 100 percent recovered from a knee injury. The Panthers had better hope second-year stud Taylor Moton is ready to thrive in 2018, otherwise this unit’s struggles may become an unconquerable obstacle for new offensive coordinator Norv Turner.

Not sure I can complain about this one.   Our big investment here is the Kalil brothers and last year, I'm not sure the roi was there.   We made little change here for the coming year, apparently Norv feels it's adequate.

Offensive lines have a tendency to fluctuate with injuries and group cohesion. Right now we could be much worse than last year, or much better. There's no real way to tell until we line up against an opposing team in a real game.

Any speculation at this point is just that... speculation.

Just remember that we went 11-5 last year with that suspect line.

I can't wait until we get to the ranking of the coaches in the division.  Gonna be some awfully upset folks around here.

We have the only two time coach of the year in the division.  In the history of the award only Belichick, Knox, and Shula have more.

I don't necessarily disagree but what does Williams' contract situation have to do with this years offensive line?  Enough things to point out without talking about something that's irrelevant to this season.

    • How do you expect him to step up in the pocket when Ickey is being pushed to the spot you want him to be. Stills don’t tell the entire picture.
    • They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.
    • What does it matter how fast the wrs are with Bryce he is not hitting them anyway
