Be careful. You will draw the ire of the Sunshine Squad.

Jabs aside, I would be wary of trading at LT unless we can get a genuine long term answer. If not, stand pat and regroup in 2022.

..and then, don’t pass on every damned lineman in the league….the first two rds

Rivera was dead set against it. No idea why, but then that's true of a lot of things Rivera did.

My concern for this year: The whole "versatility" thing is cool and all, but as I've said before what I really want to see is a set lineup that can work together and gel into a cohesive unit.

Yep. We're at a talent deficit on the OL. No way around it. Identify your best five guys and let them start developing into the best unit they can be. It probably won't be good but it'll be the best it can be.

Yeah, that one irked me too. I think that is a very valuable asset to have in defined backup OL but we seem to think we can elevate "versatile" OL into regular starters. Gotta be good at something first....

I wouldn't mind seeing Moton on the left either but I'm not sure that solves our problem automatically.

I get it that RT can be easier to play than LT but are we sure we have a great RT to take his place? or even an average one?  The overall line might not improve as much as some think

For example lets use a 1-10 scale to illustrate this

RT-Moton-9 and current LT is a 3

lets say Moton isn't as good on the left and a different RT is only a 5

RT-whoever-5 and LT-Moton is an 8

I know a lot of people were hoping BC would be starting somewhere, even at guard, but maybe its a good thing they seem to be keeping him at RT.  Maybe they hope he can become that above average RT.

Also there are more problems on the line than just LT.

I agree with this. Even if Moton is our best LT, if the drop from LT to RT is greater than the replacement RT, zero reason to do that. Put the best overall unit out there and roll with it. It is too late to fix now. Just make the best of what you have.

Also people forget about the run game.  Moton is really good at that aspect and that also might factor into keeping him on the right.  A lot of run plays are designed to go strong side which is usually the right.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Icege · Posted

      I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.

      C Mc. Gotta love this guy!!

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
