I wanted to draft a LT high. Huddlers came from the 4 winds to tell me we were fine at LT and we needed a DE instead. Now we're kicking the tires of scrubs. Great. Bring in a coach who puts a priority on the offensive line. That's just not Ron.

For all we know we might be fine at LT. We refuse to play our best LT at LT.

Is LG more important than LT dir it's right now? 

No, but you aren't finding an upgrade to LT at this point.

The truly frustrating thing is that Ron and this organization live to claim that the answer is on the roster. This time the answer literally may be on the roster and we refuse to try it. I get it that they see Moton as the future at RT and Little as the future at LT, but THEY (as in the staff) likely don't have a future if they don't take care of the present.

Actually improving the LG position could improve the LT play. 

Back in the day, we actually had a legit LT in Jordan Gross.  He played significantly better when Wharton came back to play LG. Wharton coming back made a huge difference on the left side of the line.

Yeah, he might only give up two sacks instead of three. Improvement.

As good as a route runner cmc I don’t understand why it’s so hard to ask him to chip the de before he releases into his route, it’s a crime that wasn’t implemented the second half vs the bucs.

I don’t understand the lack of two back sets or substitutions for cmc either. 

Remember how when Cam was young and healthy we relied on him too much to carry the entire offense? We're seeing the same thing repeated again, this time with CMC.

Let me clarify:  I don’t think Williams is the answer at LT. But I don’t think Williams is the answer at RT either.  Williams is either not fully healed, or he was never that good to begin with.

I can only assume that they looked at different lineman at LT during camp and preseason and didn't like what they saw. But we can find an upgrade via trade.

    • I think his stats will depend on the development of the rookies and sophomore receivers, which isn't totally under is control. The eye test is a different story. Has to consistently look the part before you decide to pay him Purdy money. 
    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
