Seriously?....oKung was awful

No, he really wasn't. Agree to disagree.

I definitely would.

Agree to disagree. We only remember him fondly because of how poor the tackles around him were. He was an average to slightly above average LT.

Now, you could certainly argue that those are becoming rarer. That I would certainly agree with.

Which is definitely with a 3rd. I'm kinda tired of consistently fielding trash at LT. IMO, Oher was a little above average at pass blocking and average to a little below average at run blocking. If I could get that again for a 3rd, hell yeah.

Lol. That also speaks to our specific level of desperation at that position. It was nice for a few games this year to see actual competent LT play for the first time since Jordan retired. 

I am sure Brown Jr. will command more than a third, unfortunately. I know we all keep seeing the shiny toys available in the trade market, but we have to pick our poison on these "hypothetical" trades. We really need to get some of these drafted guys into the organization to start to build with. 

That's a question for you, do you stay in the game for a veteran QB trade or trade up in the draft, or do you try and get Orlando Brown, Jr.? I don't think we can afford both in terms of reasonable draft capital.

We *need* to keep our picks.  We *need* to hit on our picks.  That's all there is to it.  You can't start thinking about trading away picks for vets until we actually have a team that competes.  Let's take a year or two more to build a team.  As long as we continue to improve, I can live with that.

When we start having those winning years consistently, we can then start thinking in terms of needing to fill just a few key holes.

I don't think it's desperation. An above average pass blocking LT is worth a 3rdvall day everyday. You don't have to have Jonathan Ogden, but you can't afford to put trash on the field.

But no, we would have to be very conservative with any trade offer we make until we figure out QB.

A 3rd? Yeah, all day long. Hell, a 3rd this year and a 3rd next year is fine by me. But we gotta keep all those 1sts and 2nds on our back pocket unless it's in a deal to land a QB.

I don’t know much about him other than the obvious lineage and he was supposed to be pretty good from what I heard that draft season. First or second rounder right? Wonder what it would cost, cuz we could definitely give him the chance to play LT like he wants heh

Slightly amended...

Or any of the various other forms of trash we've fielded at OT since Gross retired. Oher was good. Sucks he got that concussion. Okung was good. Sucks he can't stay on the field. 

The Byron Bell/Nate Chandler tandem in particular has to be in the discussion for worst planned starting OT tandem in NFL history.

He’s a good NFL player. If you’re hoping some rookie who has never taken a snap in the NFL is going to be as good as him, then just offer the pick for him. I’d rather have a known than an unknown. I wouldn’t offer a first but he’s worth trading for if it’s not first round picks they want.

Well he did make a Pro Bowl as a RT and LT. I suspect a first is a must.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      I saw an interesting point the other day about our type of situation.  It could have been wise to hold him off for 1-2 weeks, but that would not have anything to do with Bryce and you could easily communicate that from a PR standpoint.   Why? Well, we just brought an entirely new staff into town, new offense for the returning OL, and had wholesale turnover elsewhere.  So just run Dalton out there the first game or so to see how things are shaking out.  Dry run to make sure we won't kill the kid.  We weren't eyeing the SB.  Get a sense of the line, the receivers, the playbook.  It gives you a glimpse of what Bryce would be stepping into and a good barometer on where things stood sans him.  I suppose we sort of did that with Dalton, but that was a reactive switch and like @Ricky Spanish mentioned, it was against an injured SEA defense where we threw a ridiculous amount.  Who knows, maybe we could have at least won a game or two more that way.  You can adjustments prior to Bryce stepping in, better tee it up for him, and maybe we end up winning game 1 or 2. Last year was such a sh*tshow.  One of the worst seasons I've ever experienced in any sport for any team.  Absolutely nothing made sense together.  Happy we cut the cord early, but should have never hired that crew in the first place.

      Johnson is gonna want $20M+ next year. That's why they should have drafted Ladd.

      It's like folk didn't even watch the game. Dalton took a beating, and barely avoided a lot more violent hits. No 35 years old QB is going to survive a season like that. Imagine him against Dallas or Houston or Indy or Detroit or New Orleans twice! He played better than Bryce in that 1 game, but he wouldn't have lasted half the season.
