Since Matt Kalil went down, the Panthers have had two others start at left tackle

He s b a benchwarmer then cut

I get that extreme dislike for MK, I really do . . . but unfortunately we're stuck with him.

It's not until 2020 that he actually costs us less to cut than he costs us on the roster - and even then he's still going to cost us 10 million against the cap if we cut him.  Nobody is going to trade for him.  He's clearly not going to give back any money.

I would love for him to retire . . . but would you walk away from 30+ million dollars?  I mean . . . 30 million bucks.  I don't care how terrible I am, or how many people are pissed about it . . . I am not walking away from 30 million dollars when all I have to do is show up.

I can't think of many worse deals tbh.  Brock Osweiller to Houston maybe?

Too bad Rivera will still probably go with Kalil once he's healthy.

The parting gift of gettleman.

There are too many too count from the first round, Benjamin, Butler and players not with the team 

I still remember Steve Logan saying ‘Benjamin is lazy in route running and fundamentals an not very bright. He will bust in the NFL. Stay away from him’.  Well...prophetic

    • Totally.  They had a guy starred on their boards that made it in trade worthy range. The risk was totally worth it.  Our case was the classic of a franchise not having a QB, do what you can to get one.  That often results being thrust into a bad situation, putting crazy pressure on 1 guy, and it becomes even worse when he's not that great.  But if we find ourselves just a few spots behind a guy we really like, I don't see a problem.   We just have to see how the season shakes out and enjoy this roller coaster.  It's not pretty at times but we somehow are 5-4 haha. If Bryce turns a page and cranks out some truly QB driven wins, then maybe we do consider just rolling with him and a Dalton replacement in 2026.  Someone like a Jarrett Stidham/Tanner McKee.   However, if he stays mostly the same (whether we fall apart or he struggles on/off but we still win some), I think you have to leave to door open for a QB in the draft.  Scout and meet with the top ones, see if any really fit what D&D want.  Maybe that guy could be Mateer.  Who knows
    • I lived in that area for a minute, and 2 decades of BB and Brady made them delusional.  They think everyone is the 2nd coming of Brady and they're just on a short coffee break til the next dynasty.
    • Bryce Young hasn't cleared 200 passing yards in a single game in that window.  Meanwhile, Rico Dowdle has put together the greatest 5 game stretch of rushing production in Panthers history.   And RBs have sort of been our thing, so there is ample competition.  This team hasn't been lead by Bryce Young in that stretch. Those wins are simplistically 3 things.  Schedule, Rico, and defense.
