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.

      I'm All In On Drafting a QB in Round 1

      By 45catfan · Posted

      So we cut him if we don't give him the option?  I'm pretty sure there are players who didn't get the 5th-year option that played year four of their rookie contracts with their draft team.

      I didn't say do nothing if we don't draft one in the 1st and I"m not counting on a FA to magically become a franchise QB. But signing a FA to be our starter for the year and then re-address the next offseason would be FAR better than reaching on the wrong QB in the 1st this offseason. Feeling we HAVE to find our long term solution just because we need a new QB is how we got into this mess.  We thought Two Gloves would be at worst an average level QB for a few years, that didn't happen, so we went out and traded for Darnold.  That didn't work so we went out and traded for Baker, that didn't work so we went out and traded up to get Bryce. Our last 4 QB moves were all trying to force a solution, none of them worked out, and we're still trying to find Cam's replacement all these years later.  We'd just have been better off spending a year or two building up the rest of the team and going year to year on FA QB's while doing so.  I get it, it will be frustrating to deal with, but then when you find that actual long term solution, they plug right into an already built out roster and you're ready to contend immediately.

      Hornets vs Wizards 10/26 Game Thread

      Great win, should be 3-0 but I'll take 2-1. LaMelo is an MVP caliber player, period.   This is looking like an incredible draft so far. Sion James looking like the exact type of role player that all contending teams need to have, absolute steal in the 2nd. Kalk is a work in progress and I question how much upside he has but he's already been a considerable upgrade at C for us compared to the last several years (outside of healthy Mark which of course was rare).   Really seems like new ownership/front office has change the culture here significantly. Every guy looks bought in now.
