We really rolling with this offensive line?

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.

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.

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.

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.

    • Night and day difference in the front office investements.  Since Morgan has been in the FO (5 years)....4 out of 5 first round picks have been offensive players.  The one defensive pick was a corner. Expand it out to the first 2 rounds? 7 out of the 9 picks have been offensive.  That IMO is why our D sucks so bad.   You build defenses up front.   Carolina hasn't been investing there.  Ron's first 5 years? 3 of the 5 first round picks were defensive players.  Expand it all to include second rounders  7 of the 10 picks were defensive.  All front 7 players.     
    • I think he gets this year to show what he can do.  Last year, we had a lot of injuries. This year, we should have some players, even if we lose one or two.  It's the first preseason game.  Some of the starters weren't even in it.  There is no scheming or game planning.  Let's see how guys do when it counts. I think we have a GM that knows a thing or two about defense.  Let it play out.
    • I was ok with the mentor aspect of keeping Dalton, but wow has he fallen off the deep end. The slow behind the WR interception was awful. I keep hearing our WRs created no separation, but on that particular play dude was wide open and Dalton couldn't get it to him with a clean pocket. Next year, we need to address the backup QB spot haaaaaard!
