Moton at RT?

I really think that Moton performed so outstandingly at RT that it would be foolish to move him away from that spot. Williams, for his services here before the injury does deserve a shot to start on the line. Perhaps LG might be the best spot for him to help bring the rookie LT up to speed and to make best use of Williams' lateral movement (if that hasn't been hurt by the knee).

You don't just let Williams' experience walk or sit on the bench without getting him back in the trenches and seeing what he has. Wouldn't it be great if he could transfer to guard and find an even better opportunity there?

I'm feeling a lot more optimistic about our line's capabilities than I was last year at this time, and that was at a point where everyone was healthy.

The factt hat they did not move him to LT last year should have been all you needed to know about Moton's chances to play LT now---he is a good RT---he needs to stay there. Williams and Little will fight for the LT job--I give Little an 88% chance of securing that gig.  Williams to LG?  Not so fast, but I see it.

They have to come up with an initial plan but until we go through the process,  it's all a guess...

Of course, but it’s the offseason and not much going on now, I figured we could speculate and discuss our opinions on where we think he’s best fit. I doubt he will be LT with Little, I’m all for him being LG. That would be a solid OL starting out.

This is where im really curious whats going to happen

Williams is on a 1 year prove it deal.  So he will want to play OT and prove himself for the big contract next summer.  There are also rumors that he does Not want to play OG.

Secondly, Moton is our Future.  And its not good to continuously move the young kid around.  It Can hamper his growth.  The kid played LG, LT, RT all last year in his second year.  To have him at LG this year in year 3 despite wanting him to be the future RT (which he was a stud at), is really not good at all when your wanting him to grow.

I wonder if the Daley pick was for a G or a foreboding sign for Williams?  I would hold onto Williams through camp and trade him if Daley steps up.  Might get a sixth rounder for Williams---premature, I know, but that is one approach.

This Daley is just depth that can play OT and OG

Kind of like a guy on our staff who was from South Carolina, Travelle Wharton.  In Marty's post draft presser, he said Wharton really likes this kid and pushed Marty for him as well

Interesting. Daley seems like the kind of late round OT pick that sticks on the roster after hearing what Wharton said about him. Panthers finally have some decent tackle depth for the first time in what seems like franchise history.

To me this is how I see it, 

Little / Moton / Paradis / Turner / Williams

Considering the pulling we ask of our G's and Moton being the more athletic choice I think it makes a lot of sense to move him inside. 

However I also see the logic in keeping Moton outside, and moving Williams inside as well, but 6'6'' / 335 lbs (Willams) says RT, he was also stoning DeMarcus Lawrence all of Week 1 til Lawrence (INTENTIONALLY) put the crown of his helmet into the side of Williams' keen while down on all 4's. 

To those that don't think Moton can play LT you're crazy, he looked damn good there vs NE PS Wk 3, and Wk 1 vs Dallas. he moved to the RT because 1) Williams' injury, and 2) Clark came in off the couch and LT was his career position. 

Should be a good camp for the OL comp, but at 6M Williams will be a starter just depends where.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
