Bill Voth: Panthers will not IR Williams or Amini

 think those whispers a few weeks back of Williams being destined to begin the year on injured reserve were a bit misplaced. The hope has always been that he could avoid missing at least half of the season and his rehab has been going very well.

So I don’t see Williams or Silatolu heading to IR, and while I know many of you could disagree with this assessment, my guess is the Panthers think they're OK with their depth on the line after trading for Corey Robinson.

Interesting that Voth didn't mention Matt Kalil. Could Matt go on short-term IR to free up a space? 

Wishful thinking probably. There just aren't going to be any decent starting tackles available this time of year.

Even more interesting perhaps, the strong hint that Trai Turner might be our week 1 right tackle 

 

Is Robinson expected to start at tackle for the first few weeks at least?

It's possible but “expected” may be a bit aggressive. Robinson has just a few days to learn a new system, but at least it’s somewhat easier for tackles to do something like that than it is for centers and guards.

Because so many of their linemen can play multiple positions, we may see the Panthers get creative at tackle this week. And starting Wednesday, those injury reports will tell us a lot.

Matt will probably be back before the other 2. There was never any talk of him going to IR that’s why Voth didn’t have to address it.

Rap or someone was reporting today that Matt likely not back until after the bye. Won't be ready week 1 was stated quite definitely.

Amini will probably be back for week 1 it seems. He's been day to day for awhile.

Latest reports I've heard on Daryl say 3-4 weeks, i.e. maybe after bye.

As a falcons fan, really OK with the panthers Oline situation. As a football fan, I worry about Cam's health behind this Oline, esp. learning a new offense. I can see him taking a real beating behind that Oline. I really don't want Cam hurt, NFL is more fun when he's 100%.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
