Has Matt played RT? Is he stronger than Williams? Like as I understand it LTs can play RT just not necessarily in reverse. Matt gets brushed aside so often on the left side that I can't read his actual strength level.

I don't think Matt has played or can play RT.

Also, for those saying we ignored OL, in the span of 5 drafts/UDFAs we could have put together an OL of Moton, Norwell, Larsen, Turner and Williams. 

My concern was we ignored the OL this year...no drafts...no trades... no FA's.   Williams injury is really hurting now.   Matt's injury didn't hurt so much.

He and Darryl would've made a combo for the foreseeable future that would've made Panthers fans happy. 

I have been looking forward to next season already, regardless of the results of this one, because I felt like we would finally have those two as our bookends.

The fact that Moton is going to get starting time now has me so friggin pumped. I'm excited to see how he develops this season and am absolutely giddy over the return of Williams. Van Roten has been solid and Turner is a Pro Bowler. Find ourselves a new center (Larsen?) and Cam has an OL for the rest of his career.

Not sure Williams is back. He's going to want to get paid, and after an injury, you know how that goes.

Amazing that Moton never got a chance last year either. If Matt, Daryl and Amini were never hurt, Moton would be the jumbo tackle this year.

Also, for those saying we ignored OL, in the span of 5 drafts/UDFAs we could have put together an OL of Moton, Norwell, Larsen, Turner and Williams. Man, why couldn’t Ryan have retired after 2016 so Matt would have never come here. We could have been “forced” to start Moton at LT as a rookie.

We were never going to keep Norwell and Trai together past their rookie deals. Teams don’t pay two guards top 5 money.

      XL about to turn the corner

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
