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.

      Meh… I wish there was a network that has all sports.  This thing will fail.

      If you could add one player from any team in the NFL to the 2025 Panthers to make them Super Bowl contenders, who would it be?

      Neither Barkley nor even a healthy CMC would move the needle much for us. Those are guys that impact teams that already have impressive overall offenses and defenses, so they can perform the complimentary roles that make them actually valuable. We should know that specifically because CMC almost never moved the needle on bad Panthers team after bad Panthers team. Ask Giants fans about that with Saquon.

      I would generally disagree. You see a lot more load management than previously but that is because being healthy in the playoffs is such a key factor. Different philosophies in that regard than previous generations.  Baseball really doesn't matter until at least halfway through the season. I am not gonna say they don't play hard but the physical demands are infinitesimal in the MLB in comparison to basically any other major pro sport.  People dislike all the shooting these days but that's a direct correlation with how much the overall skill level of the average NBA player has drastically risen over the past 15ish years. There are other aggravating factors, certainly, but that is the biggest one in terms of playing style differences. So many of the guys from the 80's and 90's wouldn't even be able to play in the modern NBA at all. The biggest problem the NBA has with the American market(they are the only US sport that has any real international appeal or interest, minus the NHL) is that they are so steadily corrupt and fix the systems against the small market teams. Well, you eventually lose a big chunk of the league viewership/potential viewership in the process. Take the very obviously fixed NBA draft lotteries. Superstar and upper tier star players rarely want to play for small market teams, nor can they usually afford to pay them. So how do you expect them to possibly compete in that environment?
