The REAL Problem of This Offense

Watching the future GOAT back-up Kyle Allen get injured a week after Taylor Heinecke has shown something.  Cam Newton is a monster and it's amazing that he lasted as long as he did behind this OL.

Anyone with a brain should know this already, but any competent offense thrives based on it's offensive line. One of the best things about Gettleman was his love for hawg mollies...he just sucked at finding them most of the time. For the benefit of Cam's health going forward...more than surgery even, CMC's continued ascension, and the development of our young pass catchers, we MUST bolster the OL this offseason.  Maybe more importantly than the DL which may seem crazy, but true. 

During our 6-2 run, what was different?  Cam had clean pockets. His mechanics weren't forced back to poor form with torquing throws off balance. Basically, Chris Clark played well off his couch, then showed why he was on the couch to begin with.  Couple that with blitz pickup issues at times with Van Roten, and the left side of the line tanked our season. We'll also now have to replace Ryan Kalil at Center, so what should our plan be?

  • Re-sign Darryl Williams and pray he returns to form. 
    • I have a feeling he signs a shorter prove it deal to cash in at a later date. Now with our former All-Pro RT back...
  • Move Moton to LT. 
    • Rivera was forced to do this and Moton excelled. Moton has excelled everywhere, and if arguably your most important line position is a hole, how about filling it with a young burgeoning star?
  • Trai is fine at RG though he's regressed, and I feel like Van Roten works at LG.  Keeping Larsen as our new Center or backup guard works.  
    • A line of Moton, Van Roten, Larsen, Turner, Williams is already better than anything we've trotted out this year. But to be safe...
  • Spend 2 high draft picks on OL. 
    • Garrett Bradbury from NC State is my guy to take over at center.  Spend a 2nd rounder on him.  Grab a developmental OT for depth and Darryl Williams insurance.  

If we're going to return to form, let this offense grow, AND most importantly, keep Cam clean...OL is our most important investment this year. Since I haven't mentioned him...someone make Matt Kalil disappear.

imagine if we spent the 14 million/year that the Jags gave to Norwell instead of 5 million/year to Torrey Smith (<200 yards all year) and 9 million/year to Poe who has been less productive than Kyle Love.

Norwell wouldn't have fixed our Tackle problem and Norwell hasn't performed 14 mil worth in Jacksonville. He didn't even finish the year.

Norwell is better than Van Roten at G and would have absolutely made our tackles better. He's better than Trai. He's great at pulling and blocking for a G as well.

Don’t want to disagree with a fellow Panthers fan but that oline scares no one

we also have no idea how Williams will be co one off surgery and what he will be able to sign for on his contract year. Moton also will be starting year 3 with a contract looming and then what to do with Kalil 

go get that Star LT this year. Do it. Get it done.  

Use the rest of the draft on defense but unless there is another defensive player in the board better than that LT from Florida, they best take that LT

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
