It's a nice article, but offers little in terms of "fixing" the Panthers. They'd have to be a lot more radical in their moves to do that. Re-sign Tre Boston? Uhhh, no thanks. Draft a 2nd day QB? Been there; done that. Draft a project OT? 

The Panthers need major surgery. The article is offering a band-aid and a cup of hot chocolate.

“After a decade of enjoying stalwart Jordan Gross at left tackle, the Panthers struggled mightily to replace him. They have featured a different primary starter at the position every season since 2013. In the 95 games since Gross retired, Carolina has seen 10 different players at left tackle. Four different players this season alone have manned the position.”

That about sums it up.

You do realize its all a puzzle

For the price tag and fitting it in.  Your not going to find a upgrade over him while fixing the other more glaring holes.

The article is titled "Here's how to fix it" and then goes on to describe how to slightly improve things, not fix them. Maybe it should have been titled "A Roadmap for Improvement". 

Don't get your panties in a wad.

OL has been hot garbage for a while, especially at OT sans Gross.  Nice write up for the casual fan or fans of other teams unfamiliar with us, but not one nugget of information in that article enlightened me.  Crap, it's mostly what I've been pounding the table about all season.

That was a great draft they mocked for us. Heavily invested in the trenches plus added a high level potential QB(finally). I think taking a flyer on DJ might not be a bad idea for a low investment price. He's definitely a player that has a long, long injury history, so that is a big red flag. 

I think we definitely need to make a marked improvement at LT this offseason. I am in favor of getting a guy like Whitworth(FA and his old ass is still playing at a high level). If we can eek out two seasons of solid LT play, perhaps we can stabilize that whole offensive line and let Little potentially develop or buy us time to find a new prospect there.

I was wanting Whitworth when he hit the FA market last time, but people were saying he was asking too much money for a 34 or 35 year-old OT.  Imagine Cams health if we would have signed Whitworth a few years ago?

You and me both, brother. And then he ended up signing a less expensive deal than He Who Shall Not Be Named(IMO the best reason to fire Gettleman). 

He is a free agent this offseason and has stated he wants to return in 2020. I suspect he will just stick with the Rams, however.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
