The ideal Offensive Line


Recommended Posts

Elflien is the LG--he played pretty well beside the ROOKIE Becton last year--Becton was considered raw and transitioned better than most figured he would -Elflein gets some of that credit. 

Elflein will now get to break in another rookie LT--Christensen. 

I think they will groom Brown to take over at RG, as stated here, but he may be spending more time conditioning than learning the NFL game for a while, so I would speculate that Miller starts the season--just a guess. 

And it should not go unnoted that Undrafted Free Agent David Moore could be the heir apparent at C--not guard, where Paradis is probably playing his final season.  "Per the Panthers website, Rhule even experimented with Moore at center during their time together in Mobile. Perhaps the Panthers coaching staff saw enough from him that they could envision him playing either guard or center.   At worst, great G depth, at best, starting center in 2022.

It's worth noting that we signed Elfein to a 3 year deal, Even if the final year is practically voidable. I think he's our insurance policy at C for next year just in case Moore doesn't get it or we don't come across a 2022 FA or draft pick that can start day 1.

Daley had his moments last year and his ability to play multiple position makes me believe he'll make the team.   

Little, IMO, is odd man out. 

I also think that Tremble could fill 2 positions (TE and FB) giving us the opportunity to keep 10 O-line me.  

Daley is always hurt as well as Little. From past statements I don’t think Coach Rhule has much use for always injured players.

We have several players that have the ability to play multiple positions. With th players on this roster what would be your ideal line up?

Mine, at least to start the season with Christensen moving out to LT later.

LT  Scott

LG Christensen

C Paradis

RG Brown

RT Moton

christensen can't run block so no.

Ideally?

Christensen Brown Paradis Moore Moton

Because that will mean 3 rookies EARNED the starting jobs over vets and still have room to grow and build chemistry for the next 3+ years.

 

 

 

 

that or the vets are that bad or injured. can't start off the season with two rookies on the left hand side.

    • If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for. 
    • The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
