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.

    • Play point guard while throwing to… in 2023: Mingo - bust. Hurt/hasn’t done a thing in Dallas. Well on his way out of league  Chark - no longer in league  Hurst - no longer in league Marshall - hasn’t done a thing  Sullivan/Strachan - pretty much same dude. Both not playing  Thielen - hasn’t done a damn thing since he left Carolina  Miles Sanders - nothing    2024: Legette - rookie WR who still has no idea what he’s doing  Mingo - see above  Coker - when he did play/healthy he was solid  Thielen - see above  Sanders - bust Diontae Johnson - headache. Out of league. Failed on 12 teams in 2024 There’s more names but again all irrelevant and doing nothing in the league. This is the crap and turnover Bryce has dealt with the first two seasons. Given the type of QB Bryce is he stood no chance with these guys. We’re finally seeing improvement because there’s some consistency at least now. It would be nice if we could get Bryce a tight end worth a Damn so he could use the middle of the field more often. Plus we’ve had 10 different OL combinations this season as well or something absurd  What an absolute disaster this has been since the trade up.   
    • I mean we are limited in our options realistically, Howell is a Baker esque player who put up 4k and 22tds in his one year starting... with no weapons and a horrible oline. Oh I'm sure out the gates he wouldnt have a chance vs teppers golden brycey but if we stumble out he gates again Canales may injury list him again to try and save his job.
