Van Roten mic'd up vs JAX

GVR played a better game than the guy he replaced.

Must have been a dozen times at least that he managed to block a second defender, on a single play.  That's hard work there.

I lied the way he called out 44 (their top LB, Myles Jack), and then proceeded to eliminate him from the play.  He and Paradis are forming a tight unit of combo blocking.

GVR is an incredibly smart and hard working player, just physically overmatched at times.

He has been very durable in his time here which is a major positive. IIRC, he is the only Oline who didnt miss a snap last year.

He will never have the physical talent of someone like Trai Turner, but Turner is seeming to become more and more injury prone.

In a position where continuity and chemistry is paramount, he is doing his part.

Hope he does as well this week as he did against Jacksonville. Going to have his hands full with Suh, Vea, and Barrett.

I think Van Roten is one of those players that the Huddle grossly undervalues because they have no idea how to evaluate o-line play and had already just decided that he’s bad. He’s had to play next to terrible LTs for virtually his entire career.

Van Roten's "entire career" in the NFL prior to the Panthers didn't really include a whole lot of time at guard. He appeared in 10 games with Green Bay back in 2012 and 2013 where he played mostly on special teams. In the two years prior to joining us, he was playing in the CFL.

    • You do, the guy who doesn’t appear to grasp projection.  as the entire board knows, I do in fact, take positions.  The position here I have taken is that Bryce Young is a weak bottom tier starting QB, without NFL starting QB tools, that we must move on from.  
    • The OP for one. Asserting that people blamed Bryce for the loss in the title of the thread. That was not the prevailing sentiment at the time this thread was created. Very much a minority thing, I don’t remember but maybe one person if that, putting it on Bryce as the main reason. Troll thread. Did a good job too. Look at the pages.  Someone counting up the draft picks as 10 on offense and 10 on defense or whatever the number was, today or yesterday - of which the offensive ones were heavily 1s and 2s and the defensive picks were heavily day 3 and declaring that proof that the offense wasn’t favored like people claim. The obvious neglect we watched for two years. I spent time refuting that bullshit because someone needed to.  People saying we are bad horrible people and hate poor lil Bryce for no reason, as if it is a personal thing. Constantly.   Along the same lines is people saying we non Bryce fans would rather lose than have him play well and the team wins. That we are mad when the team wins   Point illustrated.
