Taylor Moton only allowed 1 pressure on Cam Newton in first career start

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.

    • Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.
    • So if one of the parents wants to buy the theatre group or the band lunch they should get banned?
    • OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
