Greg Little could be our starting LT Sunday

All jokes aside, that is probably the worst news imaginable if Okung is out. The bright spot on that line this season has been Okung and Moton. Little versus their DE's is a fuging recipe for disaster. If that change happens, I'd say the chances of us winning that game plummet from what they were.

Panthers LT Russell Okung (groin) says he'll to everything he can to play on Sunday against his former team. He doesn't think his injury is related to what he went through last year with the Chargers. “This is a really physical and violent game. the demands on the body are insane. There's always going to be something nagging and bothering you. That's kind of what it is.''

Panthers LT Russell Okung isn't a fan of the protocols the NFL has established for travel during the COVID-19 pandemic. "Honestly, it's difficult, whether you're talking about flights or standards or protocols. I can't stand the protocols. My feelings aside, this is what was deemed necessary between management and the union [to play].'' Meanwhile, he's killing the Bitcoin gear during this zoom.

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
