Larsen extended - $4.4 mil / 2 years

Good. He was very serviceable stepping in for Ryan.

I have a feeling we're reluctant to plug him in at LG due to Ryan's recent injury history, but we gotta put our best five OL on the field. If Ryan gets hurt again and Larsen has to slide back over to center, cross that bridge when we get there.

Per a league source, Panthers center/guard Tyler Larsen has agreed to a 2-year, $4.4 million extension ($1.4 million guaranteed) with the club, expected to be signed today. Huge move for insurance behind Ryan Kalil, and with Amini Silatolu hurt.

The Panthers have reached an agreement with center/guard Tyler Larsen on a two-year extension that is expected to be signed today, per source. A big move considering this is the last year for center Ryan Kalil, plagued by injuries the last two seasons. and because of the injury situation at left guard with Amini Silatolu suffering a torn meniscus. The Charlotte Observer first reported the extension.

Panthers sign future center at bargain, but it’s life-changing for Tyler Larsen

In the summer and fall of 2016, Tyler Larsen lived with his parents and worked for his father. His job was to replace sprinkler heads and lay sod.

But on Wednesday, Larsen, 27, signed a 2-year, $4.4 million extension with the Carolina Panthers with $1.4 million guaranteed according to a league source.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
