Should we bite the bullet and sign Okung for a year at this point?

Very excited to see the young talent on our team in this first preseason game. I see depth in areas I was previously concerned about, but the one area that is a glaring weakness is still Left tackle.
 

We know what we have in Moton, but Trent Scott looked completely lost today, and Christensen was just as bad. Erving has already been injured in camp and even if healthy he’s a huge question mark. It’s very likely that he misses time in the regular season, and whoever replaces him with be a massive liability and could single handedly give us a loss. Do we use some of that extra cap and bite the bullet even though we know Okung himself would be a question mark? 

What say ye Huddle GM’s?

No sense in wasting decent money for 6 games with Okung we could otherwise roll over.
 

LT is going to be garbage per usual until they can actually figure out how to draft one or be willing to bring in a FA who is proven. They haven’t been able to do either for 7 years besides Oher.

I actually agree with you but man it is tough to swallow watching a young talented team get killed in a spot like that. Games Okung would miss at least the backup would be Erving.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Disclaimer:  In June, I am usually optimistic.  In October, a policeman with a bullhorn is telling me that I have a lot of life ahead of me and to think about my loved ones as I gaze down upon him from my rooftop.   Having said that, I think our offense (down the stretch) was good enough to play KC and Philly tough.  So how many games would this offense have won if they played the entire season like they did in November-January and if they had a better defense?   If you could stretch the last nine games over an entire season and put a solid defense on the other side, I see 5 wins becoming 7 or 8.  Down the stretch, the Panther D surrendered 30 points or more in 5 of the final 7 games and managed to win 2 of those 5.  If they can win 40% of games in which their defense surrenders 30 points or more, then the math indicates, had that been the case all season, the Panthers should have won 6 or 7 games with their defense surrendering 30+ points.   This season, we are much better at WR (TMac, Renfrow, Horn, and I expect XL to be a lot better).  Bryce is confident and now a leader.    The Achilles' heel of the 2024 defense, the DL, seems to be very solid.  We got back Horn and Jackson on the corners, Smith-Wade is improving better than expected, we signed a stud Safety.  Derrick Brown returns.  While the D is not there yet, it is going to be better.   So if we ended the second half of 2024 playing at a level that should have produced 6-7 wins, better WRs and a better defense could result in 9 wins or more.
