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.

      Pass Rush

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, I wouldn't classify him as elite, but he is good. Are you arguing that he's JAG? There aren't many elite pass rushers in the league today in my opinion. Carter and Thibodeuax don't seem to be. I mean, come on. Sometimes rushers get to the QB, sometimes they don't. Sometimes injuries slow a player down. I haven't seen Hutchinson enough, but he just got paid like an elite pass rushers, and we all know that Parsons is. Who else is really elite? Crosby and Watt can rain terror, at times.  Hendrickson is good, but a Johnny-come-lately. Other guys seem to be on the same level as Burns. The days of Pep or Reggie White have been gone.

      Panthers Sign QB White to roster; Christensen on IR

      By frankw · Posted

      With Canales I'm not nearly as concerned about his mismanagement of the RB situation (which you could argue is being overblown to a degree yes) as I am with how woefully inept he is at preparing coaching and managing his team on gamedays against opponents and their coaching staffs with winning records. The team has been blown off the field too many times under his watch now. But I will concede that even if we fire him we will just end up with another figurehead of sorts. It's plainly obvious or at least it should be that our ownership is still meddling and pulling strings.

      QB options for the 2026 season

      It's definitely not but what he and Darnold and now Jones are all doing does show that if you have a guy who checks a lot of the prerequisite boxes putting them in the right situation can make all the difference. The problem for the folks wanting to apply this logic to Bryce is that little "checks a lot of the prerequisite boxes" issue.
