Interesting stat on Panthers o-line on Sunday

It was obvious Thomas Davis was missing and Luke attempted to play "The Field".  Our defense appeared to lack energy and endurance.  Wish we would recruit "High Performance" players.?  You can't be a NFL player and fear tackling the opponent.  What is on the bench could be better than what was on the field Sunday. Might need to take another look.  Just Sayin

Man if we can get Williams locked in for a decent price because of his injury our line could be Moton, early draft pick, Larsen, Turner and Williams with Moore, Samuels, Thomas and CMC all building chemistry with Cam. If we keep Norv around our offense is going to be great!

I do fear that Rivera sees Moton as more of a utility lineman than one deserving of a permanent spot. I hope I'm wrong with this assessment and I know injury makes his versatility more appealing, but it's still unsettling. 

 

    Sometimes players play so well they demand to be on the field. I truly feel Moton has done that. 

 

    Now with that said. Depending on how Clark continues to play. There very well could be some tough decisions to make among those 3.

 

    So stick with me here. Daryl doesn't come back until, at minimum, week 8. That is 6 more games. What if, at that point, this line is playing well? What do we do? I mean, Clark had a really good game yesterday. There is a chance that he improves as the season progresses. There is every reason to believe by week 8, Clark has established himself as our LT?

 

    First world problems? Probably not. But a decision I am glad I don't have to make. And a decision I am so glad we may have to make.

    Sexiest game I have ever seen him play. A win, and a few more runs. And it would have been Playmate of the Year quality.

 

    71%, 330 yards, 3 TDs, with 6 drops. And he looked large, and in charge. Mostly. But boyyo, did he ever look like Cam. If he plays like this all year!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

     And it kinda gets lost in the wash, just because we lost. If we had won? Folks would be singing the praises of both Cam, and Norv. Funny what the difference between a win, and a loss, will do to perspective?

You don't mess up a good thing.  If Clark is playing well.  You make a solid offer to Williams and sit him for the rest of the season.   

Continuity on the o-line is critical.  If you have 6 weeks of the same guys playing outstanding football together.  No matter how much better Williams is over Clark you lose that continuity on the line.  I wouldn't do a thing to it.

    I myself, would tend to agree with you. And there are probably 2 main trains of thought on this. 1. Continuity. It is a cliche' because it's true. 2. You must play the players that give you the best chance to win. Unless the guy coming back is a 5 time Pro Bowler. Thankfully, we do not have that problem.

 

    Plus, and this is yuge. Tepper is in the Steelers mold. And continuity is at the top of their list. Not saying Tepper has any roster pull. Actually, I am not sure why I even bothered to  bring it up?

 

    Oh, there is a 3rd category. Those Huddlerz who will claim that Rivera, because of his love affair with Vets, will start Williams the moment he is cleared to play. lol

The o-line was merely competent on Sunday . . . and frankly, that's plenty.  I saw many occasions where Cam was able to run through his entire progression from the pocket.  And then . . . he checked it down when nothing was open.  It was a lot like an actual NFL offense.  We should try it more often.

Daryl was of course injured week one then add 8 = 9 weeks gone so week ten is first likely week back if at all.  Am I wrong?

Coverage sacks just means your WRs suck. We should have traded Funchess this year and brought in Dez Bryant. Not a great addition but he knows how to run routes and high point balls. Then let Moore get reps with Samuel and Co. 

We’ve had enough slow receivers, Bryant can go somewhere else. Dude is slower than 5:00 traffic

    The context of my post was that if Clark, and Moton continue to perform well. There will be some tough decisions to be made when Daryl is cleared to play. But if you want to focus on my timeline being a tad off. Then no, you are not wrong.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.

      So you are just going by what these analysts are saying. So if come draft time they say Ward/Sanders is worth pick 1 you should be good. The future draft QB class is always going to be projected as the next great thing until these young players start playing the game and scouts can see some flaws. Think of all of the high school phenoms that didn’t look as good in college.  If Manning does turn out to be the next great prospect only one team gets to draft him. Odds are someone else could get the top pick, especially if go all in on building a supporting roster. I’m never going to be a just wait another year guy, because there are so many variables. If our staff loves Ward/Sanders then we should just draft them with our pick. It’s as simple as that. I also might go with Hunter over TMac as WR1 in this class.  The roster has the OL to help a young QB, young weapons in Coker, XL, and JT to grow with a QB, and a RB who can catch in Brooks as a safety net for a young QB. Sign a vet WR, extend BC and our offense would be set outside of depth. Let our young offensive core go through their growing pains while we iron out the defense. It’s definitely a path forward.
