Larsen: An unused asset with a fresh multi-year contract

Not about shade it’s recognizing the same reasons he was fired by a man who adored him rearing it’s head. 

Sorry but there was absolutely no reason to keep R Kalil over starting Larson, that’s my opinion and observation.

 

    When you are trying to win. Keeping a 5 time All Pro is not a bad idea. At one point this year we had Moton, Van Rotten, Kalil, Turner, Williams. That line was working. If that line would have stayed together, we are not having this conversation. But because we are in panic mode, well, some fans are anywho, folks are reaching. Then blaming Hurndog for their having to reach in the first place. 

 

    No one saw all these dang injuries coming. I am sure if they had, they may have put a plan in place to alleviate the problem. But blaming them for not having a plan you like, over something out of their control, is kinda mean.

If they had brought in and carried twice the OL depth anticipating massive number of injuries the same people would be throwing a fit. Nobidy looks at the big picture .

I think they’re trying to protect him for the back up C role, which I’m honestly fine with.

He’s backing up Kalil which is more important than playing guard and maybe getting injured. Got no one else who can make the calls at the line.

It's not "insurance"  that in the real world only Ryan Kalil would get. Every team does the same thing, protecting important positions.

I’m sorry but protecting rhe Center position by not playing the back-up center at guard when he is the best available guard for this game is ridiculous. You are purposefully hamstringing yourself because you hope you aren’t hamstrung at some point in the future. As the old saying goes, a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush. By withholding Larsen from playing, the Panthers are settling for two in the bush.

Mahon should be starting

I said that all off season. Larsen was the starter last season. He was perfectly capable with talented guards on either side. We obliterated that dynamic, lost one of the best guards in the league, sat talent on the bench and lost an opportunity to shed cap.

Yep. Sad Ryan needs insurance like that. Larson should be starting at C, backed up by Roten and R Kalils salary and the rest of the cap should be going to Norwell but meh what can you do, it’s Hurney.

I don't think Larsen should supplant Kalil just yet, Ryan is the better of the two and last year showed that. Larsen may have an edge physically but Ryan is better at making the line calls and adjustments. I'm glad we have our future starting C already in place but he's rightly an important back up for now.

    • We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.
    • Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
    • I think there's a ton of potential in that WR room. But they really are unproven right now. Hopefully they live up to the hype.
