Fix The Damn Line

If you make zero changes but swap Watson for Teddy with last year's roster, that's worth likely 3-4 more wins alone. Again, I agree that the OL needs improvement but if a desired QB is available the team has to get him and improve the OL in parallel as they can.

Cause Watson tore it up with Huston?

4823 yards, 33 TDs, 7 ints, and another 444 rushing yds and 3 TDs... yeah, he did. Houston only scored 384 points compared to Carolina's 350, so what could Carolina have been last year with that kind of QB play?

Not saying Watson is the only answer but it does highlight the difference.

The oline played great the first half of games. Then checked out at half time. Where is the stats for that? That poo is awful.

Add in Moton played at a high level and Okung did too when he was in.

And they still ranked #18 in the NFL.

It’s a bigger problem than people think. TB sucks yea but it’s just fuging lazy to say the oline isn’t that big of a problem.

It’s actually worse than people think.

 

Too real for many to handle, brains melt when the truth is told. Okung played about 7 games total and by week 17 the panthers were starting on their 4th different LT. But its ALL Teddys fault about that, same for CMC injuries and getting nothing form TEs. Teddys fault all of it.

Even if we aren’t committing to TB, seeing this stat should tell us one thing. A good O line can make anyone look good, especially with the offensive weapons we have. Ensuring the OL is the top priority along with either resigning Samuel or replacing him with a similar profiled player should be the top priority. If a QB can be had for a fair price and or great opportunity arises in the draft so be it but it starts in the trenches. Next year when we have an exuberant amount of cap space then we can go a little crazy but reaching shouldn’t be top priority this season.

I agree that our offensive line should be a priority. Teddy Bridgewater is a good QB. If we have the opportunity to grab a player that's at least twice as good at any position, we owe it to ourselves to at least, guage it. You have to have a plan when building a roster but you can't have blinders on while you do it...

Give Bridgewater a decent line and he might again be the capable game manager we saw in New Orleans.  The problem is, for whatever reason, Teddy doesn't seem to have a killer instinct when it comes to crunch time and the game is on the line.  Not sure you can fix that.

Regardless, putting a high priced franchise QB behind a mediocre line isn't gonna bring the Panthers any championships.  Look at Seattle.
