We really rolling with this offensive line?

I see that as a big reason for his failure, quite possibly the biggest reason.

Being stupid enough to believe that was his biggest problem.

Explains his bad contracts to old players though.

So, we really doing this? Starting the season with a huge Achilles heal? 

 

I thought for sure a trade for at least an average left guard was a certainty. Everyone and their mother knows Elfein is horrid.

Elflein was the same player last year, so whatever they are seeing on tape now is the same as what they saw on tape when they signed him.

We kept our best lineman for the next several years. That's a start.

We also drafted a couple of guys that look promising. Will they live up to that promise? Don't know, but that needed to be done and it was.

As for the rest, if I recall correctly, nobody's on a deal longer two seasons, so even if the signings are badd it's not like we're hamstrung long term.

Not really about being hamstrung as much as just simply not building. If Brown or Christensen pan out, we did. If they don't, we literally have gotten worse.

That can be said of any move we make, regardless of approach.

Pair that with Rivera wanting everyone to "leave on their own terms" and you have the makings of a total sh-tfest.

Not really when it was so incredibly obvious and has been ongoing for years now.

I'm not going to flip out now. Remember when Zod was pushing the line about how bad the offense would be heading in to 2015 to get people riled up?

Never forget that he has no clue what he's talking about and is only concerned with pushing the easiest narratives to spark a reaction.

Was there anyone that expected that 2015 squad to make the run they did after Kelvin went down in camp? Remind me what Carolina has accomplished since. Minus that year our oline has been a major point of concern amongst fans since every season Gross retired so to reduce this discussion to just an instance of fishing for clicks is just ignoring team history.

We've only had our current braintrust for one offseason.

Nothing that happened previously has any real bearing.

Remember when Teddy was the best qb in our division last year....me neither but Zod does.

Not true. If you ignore history, you're doomed to repeat it. Hopefully these guys are smart enough not to make the same mistakes.

[Pimpdaddy]

..Yea..we are rolling with this line....only hope is Darnold is the second coming of Delhomme ...

[Captain Obvious]

yes. for now. 

if we end the year with the same 5 starters then it was either

1. successful winning year

or

2. Coaches are blind As we lose ..

I'm here for either.

There is no history.

This is their first rodeo.

They may be good at it or not, but the fact that Marty Hurney and Ron Rivera sucked will have no bearing on it.

Just put Brown and Christensen on the right and don't look back. Just block your man.
