I'm not familiar with this particular Twitter, but I like the comparison they make here.

 

Devil's advocate - they could perhaps do this because they already had Brees, who has shown himself capable of elevating lower-tier players at the skill positions and of winning shootout games since the defense was often deficient. No doubt though that a top-tier OL is a large advantage for whatever an offense wants to and should be a priority for Carolina.

That said, the Saints have found talent throughout the draft to supplement and sold their souls to the salary cap gods.

Which offensive lineman would you have preferred over McCaffrey, Moore, Burns, and Brown?

The question is which ones over the trade up for Little and the Grier selection, along with extending Moton...may have been a good start.

Going forward we should definitely address it but the tweets above make it seem like we should've drafted O Lineman instead of our other best players, so just wondering if that's the question or is it just overall dissatisfaction with where o Line is as far as team priority? I wouldn't pass on any of the first round picks we've made in recent years but I definitely think we need to open the wallet on better quality guys. This coming off-season Joe Thuney is a FA, let's give him a call. We also might have an extra third rounder? Would be a good idea to spend an early pick or two, maybe

Pay Taylor and start drafting.  Can't be done all in the next draft, or even two, but I trust Matt's process.  Seeing Little losing out to a 6th round pick last Sunday sent me into a deep depression remembering our long recent history of trying to find a LT.  I was thinking a 2 to 3 year build earlier this year.  Now I understand why Matt said 5 year process.

Second and Third round picks should be on the field now.  Our problem is our staff absolutely sucks at drafting O-linemen (minus Moton).

While it is awesome that we occasionally find a UDFA that excels it's not enough.

Hopefully, Hurney is gone before the next draft and our new staff knows how to evaluate offensive line talent.

I am interested in seeing Rhule's oline values and philosophy going forward. He is basically playing with leftovers and fillers this year. The only draft we have had with him was all D and the only long term good player is Moton who may not be here next year. So far we have rotated to try guys, like at LT with Okung out, and the talent level on the oline is pretty low yet the staff is making the most of wat they have. We don't have to take guys in the 1st to be a win. There have been plenty of second round and even 3rd round guys that could come here and start day 1 in the last few drafts. Missing on Little and what we spent to get him vs what we could have had set us back. We need a competent Oline build badly.

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Week 16 - Other NFL Games

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.
