Amini has a torn meniscus

You know I kind of feel bad for the guy.  Ron has done everything he can to hand Amini the position and the poor guy can't catch a break.  Hate it for the kid but he will get another shot with Ron if he recovers. 

Ron better hope one of these guys step up or we'll get to see how old Norv can scheme around that left side.

Time to trade an asset for a legitimate starting guard in this league. Not sure who or where, but keeping Cam upright needs to be priority #1 moving forward. 

No way should we trade anything for a guard. A few will certainly be cut and even if not it's not worth trading away anything if real value.

Left guard Amini Silatolu suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee during Tuesday's practice and will undergo surgery on Friday to repair. His return to play will be evaluated on a week-to-week basis. Undrafted rookie Brendan Mahon will start Thursday night's preseason opener at Buffalo. The Panthers already had lost right tackle Daryl Williams indefinitely to a torn MCL and dislocated patella. Taylor Moton, who was competing for the left guard spot, has been playing right tackle since. So depth is becoming an issue on the line.

A torn meniscus hurts like a mother. And it isn't really repairable as all they can do is get in there and clean up the ragged edges to cut down on snagging and maybe scrape out any arthritis buildup they run across while they are in there. 

He'll be off his feet for at least a week and working with crutches for a couple more, then a month with a cane, maybe less with good PT. 

I hope the young man heals up, that's a heck of an injury for a big man.

    • PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.   
    • Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor. 
    • Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
