Ryan Kalil vs Scott Fowler

Regarding this year's O-Line...

USA Today examines the argument:

 

There’s no question that Carolina’s run blocking exceeded even our wildest expectations. Despite an insane workload, Christian McCaffrey averaged five yards per carry for the year, while Cam Newton was just behind him at 4.8 yards per rush. Solid run blocking at all three interior positions was a huge reason why.

The emergence of Taylor Moton at right tackle was also a major factor in the unit’s success. Moton should return to start in 2019, no matter what Williams’ situation is.

That’s not to say that the unit could not stand some improvement.

The team’s sack number would likely have been much higher if not for Newton’s elusiveness and ability to break tackles. Chris Clark was no better than Matt Kalil on the blindside either, and finding an upgrade there should be very high on the team’s list of priorities this offseason.

How about the pass blocking that got Cam hurt again(and again and again), and got another QB hurt in just one game. But yea our run blocking was good...now if only we can arrive in the modern era and not try to run the clock out after getting a 1 point lead.

People who blame the OL for QB injuries are retarded. Our OL was at he very least middle of the pack. All the lower teams didn't have QBs getting hurt. The injuries were fluky, not because of OL.

Every QB that played behind that line this season wound up injured or nearly injured, including Newton.

That's an awful lot of "flukes".

And the only reason for the lower sack numbers are cam’s elusiveness and shorter routes.  We weren’t throwing the ball over 20 yards at all and running back was our leading receiver.  I would expect sack numbers to be low.

Not really. Cam evaded some sacks and others were because he held the ball too long... probably evened out. The line started out really well and then turned to sh*t late in the year when Clark and Van Roten's play fell off.

Just remember guys this guy wanted to start Remmers over Williams in 2015 season.

After CAM getting smashed in SB he advocated to take Vernon Butler over OT, OG , TE & WRs 

One OT he despised in draft class was Taylor Decker saying DTs > OL cause Gettleman knows best :eyeroll:

I'm guessing you got all that from the same sources as your other thread.

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.

      Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
