Matt Kalil having his knee scoped.

From the Panthers ..

 

Matt Kalil traveled to Florida on Monday to receive a second opinion on his right knee from Dr. James Andrews. After consulting with Dr. Andrews, the decision was made to perform an arthroscopic procedure on Matt’s knee. He will be evaluated on a weekly basis.”

Yikes we have to be going after someone to protect Cam. We can't be going we all these udfa's. It's time for Hurney to make a move.

Do you want him to contact a witch doctor to conjure up a serviceable tackle? Because that's the only move available at the moment.

Said this in the other thread, perhaps it took this to get to see Moton at LT and he is the answer there. We will see this week. But even if he is, the depth on the O line is a serious concern.

I am much more concerned about depth than anything. It would be hard to get much worse than Matt Kalil. If Moton is just below average, it will be a net win.

What move?  People don't give away starting LT's.  They don't even give up legit backup LT's.   

Why?  Because if your left tackle goes down, you kind of need a starter there.    Usually the only time one hits the market is due to $$$$$$. 

So if we don't have $$$$?   Our LT's is overpaid for his performance.  The only people we have worth trading are ones we actually need.   What possible move could Hurney make to get a starting level LT here? 

I just don't see it.

As is the problem that we've got 3 starters out on the line, and yet all are still eating roster spots.

God this is a nightmare.

I wish the league would change the rule that players have to make the 53 to be eligible for short-term IR.

    • I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.
