Does this franchise enjoy shitty offensive line play?

Seriously, this is ridiculous.  It doesn’t seem to matter who is in charge, how the hell does our offensive line suck every single fuging year.  You can go back to 1997 when Kerry Collins broke his jaw, dumpster diving Dave who got Cam killed with 5 garbage cans, and the disaster that is this year.  We’ve had a few nice pieces here and there (Kalil, Gross, Turner before he sucked, Norwell) but yet we never put it together. We lost the super bowl because of a trash free agent pickup instead of having an actual right tackle. 
 

we seem to be right back in the same position and we just spent all 7 draft picks on defense. When will this team wake the fug up and realize that fielding an actual line is important to the game of football?

We didn’t lose the SB because of Remmers. We lost because we didn’t scheme around their best defenders. Look at the game against Denver in week 1 of 2016. We were up 17-7 at half and Collinsworth did a segment on how well Remmers did against Miller and specifically mentioned the adjustments we were making. Denver had 3 sacks in week 1. 2 were on the last drive with 3 minutes left in the game where Gano missed the game winner. The 3rd sack was in the 3rd quarter. I remember the game and how when we started to fall behind Cam started dropping deeper just like Shula’s typical MO.

We lost because of the refs, fumbles and the inability of our coaches to make a single damn adjustment after the Atlanta loss. We finally schemed and scored 17 in a half against the same D and kept them off Cam. We went back to the Cam save us deep drops late in that game and Gano blew it.

I agree with your sentiment, BUT, to play devils advocate, we had a lot of holes on D and I really like what I've seen from all of our day 1 and 2 picks. We also picked up 2 guards and a LT in free agency. Okung has played pretty solid when he's not injured. No comment on the guards.

I really think (hope and pray) that we work on the O-line a lot this offseason.

At some point we are going to need staff that can actually evaluate good talent. That's our biggest problem not who we pick up in the draft and FA because we have already been doing that. That's the entire line. A entire line of poor talent evaluation.

Who's to say these guys can't? Okung has looked good when healthy. The rest of the OL moves this off-season were trash heap vets.

Marty Hurney’s big OL moves in his second term  have been signing Paradis and drafting guys who can’t see the field even with the current line we have.  

Im just sick of this poo year after year.  When was the last time a panthers QB wasn’t running for his life every other play?

This is what happens when you don’t draft OL in the first round for a decade and try plugging them in with stop gap cheap veterans. Even that 2015 team we ran more max protection than any team in the league, no team with a great line runs max protection.

OL is a top priority in the draft. .   But we also need to get better at finding value in second and third rounds just like we got a future all pro like Jeremy Chinn.  I hope Rhule has more input going forward.

I'm not really laying blame on Rhule as much as Hurney. He was making moves even before Rhule was coach. Hopefully his insights help get younger players who actually can.

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!

      Well, if they know Tepper wants to keep Bryce there is an an implied safety net there in case he fails. A possibility that he will be empathetic and •maybe• not fire them.  If they go against that and bring in someone else and that fails they are in a much worse spot.  IMO.  And another factor may be that after all those years of instability and musical chairs pre Bryce there will likely be a feeling of security in knowing what they have.   Kind of like settling just to keep from going through the process all over again.     IOW I think he really needs to fug up bad to lose his job and change our course.
