Rhule: "If he feels real comfortable to do it, you would consider doing it.   He's valuable where he's at.  We'll have to wait and see."

OTA Notebook: Taylor Moton likely staying on right side (panthers.com)

Asked what it would lead Moton to play on the left, Rhule replied: "If he's the best available."

in the NFL, a team has a LT or it doesn’t 

in the NFL, a team has a QB or it doesn’t 

Those that do, win and those that do not,  lose  

Do the Panthers  have  LT or QB?

 No one knows 

 Tepper invested 65 million in Rhule and Tepper  talks patience   I don’t believe it

if this conversation is still being had in year three, Rhule won’t be here and he shouldn’t be. He passed on LTs. He passed on QBs.  This isn’t the NCAA where you can coach up meager talent and win.

So when the Chiefs started the season last year, did they have a LT?   Because it didn't look like it in the SB.  

This notion that once you have elite olineman that  you're good-to-go ignores the near-certainty of injury on the oline.

We've brought in 5 new olineman, is there any surprise that we are experimenting to find the best configuration?

Yeah, that's...not even close.

Moton himself talked to SI and said that it was challenging because it was so different than what he was used to, but even then he said he was willing if that's what the team needed.

Bottom Line: At no point did he express that he didn't want to do it. Nor did Rhule say anything like that.

Based on his almost conflicting thoughts there you could argue he is either on the fence or not wanting to give away what they're thinking just yet. Guessing a little bit of both. What he says about Moton being valuable where he is and the best rushers coming from the right is pretty important in this context though.

Plus you have two completely different staff and front office who have not moved him to LT yet. Seems pretty damn logical Moton would be part of the equation 

Wrong again. 

Rivera and company actually did play him at left tackle more than once. They just didn't leave him there. 

I 'd add that if your argument depends on the notion that Ron Rivera made good personnel decisions, you don't have much of an argument.

I agree.  We are all anxious to see how this plays out.

Conflicting thoughts?   Jesus h Christ dude are you a mind reader?  Please give us one shred of evidence that moton “isn’t keen on making the switch”.   Anything at all if not stfu moron.

Sure, it's possible. It just requires a lot of stars to align. Will Grier could possibly be a HOF QB too.

I want to make sure I understand this.

Are saying that Will Grier entering the HOF is as likely as "the line plays well enough to get the job done"?

Because one sounds impossible (Grier HOF), where the other sounds more than possible (serviceable line).  

We kept 3 starters, 4 if you include Scott.  We brought in 5 new lineman.  

The 2 lineman we let go weren't awesome last year.  One is jobless and the other is a backup for the colts.   

You hate the 5 lineman we brought in so bad, that you are near certain the the oline is going to suck, when it was largely considered average last year?  It just sounds extreme.

    • As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.
    • He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.
    • Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
