We could have a new starting left tackle

And here we are again at the mercy of Ron Rivera's piss poor talent evaluation and roster management skills.

If Chris Clark can't go, the most obvious solution to most of us would be to put our best tackle (Moton) on the left and let Marshall Newhouse backfill on the right.

But no...

Rather than put our promising young tackle back at the spot where he performed very well in the preseason, we're going to trot a 30 year old journeyman out there instead.

Oy...

Rivera reportedly "doesn't see Taylor Moton as a left tackle". This from the same coach who apparently did see Byron Bell as a left tackle. So I guess Taylor Moton isn't quite as good as Bell.

 

 

Mother of... :poison:

Clark hasn't been great but he has been better than what I feared this year. I still remember preseason and the wasted spaces that tried to play LT for us. Newhouse was one of those wasn't he? Ugh.

 

I have no idea why Morton isn't slid over that way. It sure wold be great to see if he could be the answer long term. I despise the player evaluations of this team under Ron.

What exactly is stopping Matt from playing right side? You'd think that a starting LT who was great in college would at least be a serviceable RT. Still overpaid as all hell but at least we could be grooming Moton for the left spot. 

My guess? He says he's healthy but really isn't.

(Lord knows it wouldn't be the first time)

I think its a football injury guaranteeing his 2019 contract or something like that. They'd rather sit him out than risk him getting injured.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
