The best lineman in Panthers history


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

and uh, gross didn't convince the team to pay his retarded brother 50 million $ to protect our franchise qb's blind side.   ryan is also responsible for what he did, and what happened to cam  because of it, not in my book.  *** that guy.

Id give it to Kalil but its close

Gross was here 11 seasons, 3x probowl, 1x 1st team all-pro

Kalil has been here 12,  5x probowler, 2× first team all-pro, 1x 2nd team all-pro

 

Think some people have Gross ahead now becsus they are living in the moment.  And seeing how we havnt truly replaced Gross.

More to do with the position they played on the line imo. And because of that, Gross gets the edge

Both were among the best Panthers ever and it's like choosing between your two kids as to which is more important to you.

Gross was incredibly durable and played the most important position, but Ryan was more involved with protection calls on a much more wildly fluctuating group of linemen. Both have been great team mates, too.

How do you choose?

Yea no offense but LT is a much much harder position to play, going up against the best Dlineman in the game. The fact Larsen stepped in last year and actually played better statistically than Ryan should tell you that.

We have yet to replace Gross or see anyone even close.

Center is just as imortant

Just ask Manning about Jeff Saturday 

Remember he was a HUGE part in paving the holes for the smash and dash duo

Gross.

I appreciate what Kalil has done but, let's be honest, Center isn't a very glorified position.

true, LT is definitely the more glorified position and tougher position IMO. 

BUT I think Kalil was better at his job than Gross was at his.  That alone doesn't give Kalil the edge because LT usuaslly means you are on an island vs the best pass rushers in the game.  BUT Kalil has a bigger load in Carolina than most centers.  Cam's admission of what Kalil does IMO gives him the bump over Gross.  Kalil makes all the line/protection calls.  Not the QB.  So big picture I give Kalil the edge.  But it is so close I have no issue no matter how the ranking goes.

    • Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!
    • How do I activate said Krispy Kreme deal? I'm stoned man you can't be playing with me about this...
    • When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
