Sorry not sorry - Matt Kalil is an upgrade over Chris Clark, and I don’t think it’s close

The eye test tells me that Matt Kalil doesn’t even want to play.  I’ve never seen someone so disinterested on the field.  Or the fact that when he’s solely responsible for Cam getting crushed, he doesn’t even appear to be sorry or fired up to protect his QB.  Maybe I’ve got him pegged all wrong, but his demeanor sucks.

   And that is an issue that hasn’t been addressed. It’s JMO but him needing two months off for “sudden knee soreness” doesn’t add up. At a time we were desperate for OT help.

He definitely does not seem to love football at all... Ryan has played through pain for most of his career (I'm sure some this year as well)...

That being said, I am glad he will hopefully be "healthy" for a stretch run.  Clark has played his tail off, but we need another option at tackle even if it is Matt Kalil

So basically we have SpeedBump vs PotHole

 

we already know what we have in SpeedBump... penalties and Cam either running for his life or hurrying throws

Im hoping that as PotHole gets more time that he is at least serviceable 

The thing about clark is he is old. He is going to continue to trend downward as the season progresses.

Kalil is garbage. Unless something happens, Kalil is probably going to look just as bad. I’d rather have Clark. Weve heard every excuse in the book about why Kalil can’t get it done. Oh he’s hurt, oh he’s not healthy. Clark was sitting at home 4 weeks ago. It takes time, learning the offense and getting in football shape. And Fletcher Cox ain’t no push over, nor is the rest of that defense.

Both are garbage. But since Moton isn't left handed and that's the excuse we get it won't happen. It certainly has become apparent that the reason the deep pass hasn't been happening has been the protection and the PFT stats are inflated because Cam has gotten rid of it quickly or been forced to take off.

I think it's more that as bad as Clark/Kalil are at LT, they are even worse on the right side...

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By jb2288 · Posted

      agree to disagree you are entitled to that opinion even though I find the argument completely bizarre based on data. I could type out a long paragraph discussing those areas but what’s the point. I posted a screenshot that showed Bryce in a similar post snap situation with a free rusher in his face which resulted in a TD - that’s what happened on the play so I posted it.

      I've already addressed this notion in a previous reply. You are basing your assertion outside reality if you think Bryce would have not only been more successful but defeated the Patriots in place of Herbert. Bryce got blown off the field by that Patriots team with the highest paid OL in the league. We've seen Bryce with an OL that gave up 65 sacks and it resulted in the #1 pick. And that is not a defense of Herbert or arguing he is a great QB in any way. He has physical talent but he has been similar to Darnold early in his career in terms of his very up and down perfomances. However that does not change the fact that they have significantly less invested in the OL than the Panthers.

      I think Tepper has been setting the stage where pending there is no miracle he wipes it all clean.  Think you already have been told that with small things like Evero staying.  Bryce is the guy next year.  OC, DC, everything stays the same.  QB room largely the same.  Nothing would really matter there.  They basically get one more shot and it goes how the schedule paired with our 27th ranked O predictably most likely goes.  Everyone out the door together.  Bryce is a bridge tier QB.  I don’t see Dave surviving where he could be bridge QB here in reality.
