why the hell is our oline garbage year after year? eventually you are only as good as your record and this clown hasn't ever turned out a quality line here.

I've been saying that we need a running o-line coach but I think you're right. We need a o-line coach that teaches better boxing techniques.

Since '09 we've only drafted 4 OL on the first three rounds. One of them was Amini.

We'd rather draft backup LBs and backup DTs in the 1st than properly invest in an OL.

Colts o-line went from one of the worst in the league to one of the best in ONE offseason. So it's possible, but (like you said) we just would rather use our picks on backup LBs, DT's, and QBs rather than going all in for a dominant O-line.

Coaching

Yeah

A former career RT coming off a major knee injury, that no one even offered him this year

Some undrafted scrub we picked up off the street after he was cut in the CFL

A HS hyped OT who has had motivational issue's and never panned out, that left ever draftscout writer, reporter, etc scratching theor head when we traded up for.

 

Yup all on coaching

Rams went from one of the worst offenses to one of the best offenses in one offseason just by a coaching change with almost the same O-line.

That would have taken a head coach willing to bite the bullet on defense in one offseason/draft to fix the problem.

The Panthers do not have that head coach.

They DO, however, have the head coach willing to bite the bullet on the position that protects his franchise QB in order to spend multiple high draft picks in a single draft for DTs and CBs.

Do the same to fix the problem of protecting Cam Newton though? PFFFFFFFFFFFT!

They signed Andrew Whitworth one of the best LTs in the game when we signed Matt Kalil. And they paid him less.

And you actually believe they have that big of a turnaround with Fisher still at HC? You think Whitworth single handily made their o-line go from one of the worst o-lines to one of the best? You're delusional if you think so. McVcay is the main culprit their offense and o-line had that big of a turnaround.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By fanpanther · Posted

      the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
