This is a good start. I'll admit I was not a fan of waiting til the 3rd to take Christiansen and grabbing Marshall in the 2nd because I consider the OL need for this team right now extreme. But if Christiansen turns into a quality tackle and Marshall turns out to be as good as he looks so far, I'll eat crow and admit it was shrewd drafting.

That is some crow I would be more than happy to eat.

I do not think we see Brady right away--but we will see him by midseason.  We need 2-3 OL on rookie contracts, imo, to use the cap where we need it.  At the moment, none are, and they are not that good.

If we can get Brown and Christensen in the lineup, that bodes well for the next 3 seasons after this one.  I personally think, if Daley steps up and stays healthy, we can be good on the offensive line this year.

Wait....do we like PFF now? 

No, we still think they are crap.

In this case however, all they had to do was count.  I will begrudgingly admit that they can probably count.

As long as they have a calculator.

And a pocket protector.

I cringe to go all “Huddle realist” for a second…but we’ve technically only allowed 3 sacks all preseason and so the vast majority of our o-linemen have allowed 0 sacks lol. I’d be interested to see the pressures. Christensen I bet has the most or nearly the most pass-blocking snaps of all our o-linemen and he certainly passes the eye test, so not trying to take anything away from him. This just feels a bit incomplete as far as a statistical snapshot.

Lol…of course

I personally like PFF. All metrics have flaws. The curious thing is anyone who bitches about it on this forum for some reason can’t seem to point to a better source or metric

I’m still waiting for that better source with perfect metrics

as for the topic I think at his worst he’ll be solid depth. Just an opinion because preseasons means jack, but this is good

Panthers O-Line was at their best when they had Norwell and Turner on rookie contracts. Just having 2 cheap quality starters could turn many things around.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
