So it's Robinson or Armini....we are screwed

I'm almost to the point of not caring anymore until Rivera is fired.

I want Rivera to succeed for two reasons:

1) Obviously, Rivera success equals Panthers success

2) He's one of the good guys, as nice a person as you'll find

Now, while on the one hand I root for Rivera to succeed, I'm also well aware of his flaws. No denying he has certain issues we all want to see get fixed.

Here's hoping...

At this point, you would think somebody on our team would intentionally hurt Amini just to keep him off the field

The Panthers probably need to think about trading for a tackle. My target would be DJ Humphries, from the Arizona Cardinals, who are going nowhere and need picks to build a future. Make the pick a conditional 2nd or 3rd rounder and stick him at LT, moving Moton over to the right side. Humphries can stick even when Kalil returns and is young enough to stick there for a few years.

The current "window" closes when TD, Greg Olsen and Pep leave the team, which is likely at the end of this year. I don't like trading picks often, but believe we have an opportunity here.

With Amini starting it doesn't matter what good talent we have if he cannot help protect Cam.

Which obviously affects out top 5 defense and makes us unable to compete at all in games.  

The Eagles won the SB last season with a below average offensive line and a backup QB.  Come on now

Oh and one more thing, of the 3 sacks we gave up Sunday...Williams was to blame for 2 of them.

Is this true? I’ve yet to see a recap about this. Honestly curious.

I think you guys are way to hard on him.  You tell him to block, and he blocks.  You never said that you weren't referring to long snaps.

The Eagles did not have a player like Amini playing for them did they. No!.

We traded a 4th round pick a couple seasons ago for a punter who played a couple games then got cut. I feel like no one would be upset if we traded one of our two third round picks for a tackle who is anywhere near decent. Our team has so much talent that would be wasted over Amini at right tackle

I agree. We should have a surplus of weapons this year and the next. Could probably make due without a mid round pick.

Any One that's  been a life-long Panther fan has seen the time of struggles!! To you young ones out there it will be okay.. Right now give it to game 4-5 to see where the team is at. Due to the training policy  with players and the NFL injuries happen way sooner in the beginning of the season.. but I am just saying be patient I liked what I saw for the 1st game besides the injury bug crap on the o-line.. but we all know it..so do the coaches!! #KeepPounding

So you would give up a 3rd round pick for a tackle who may only be slightly better than what we have?  Teams don't give up tackles that are anywhere close to decent...especially during the season.   You don't get rid of depth for draft picks in September.  

Every blue moon you get one for salary cap concerns, but good tackles and even decent backup tackles aren't sitting on a bench waiting to be traded.  Unfortunately we gonna have to make what we have work and hopefully address it in the offseason.
