Brown has been one of the better left tackles in the league and is still pretty good. Leno was never that great and is pretty bad at this point.

Plus with Brown, you have the added advantages of Fitterer not only having a connection to him but also one to the people with whom he'd be negotiating.

With that said though, Brown would have been a two-year stopgap while we tried to find our left tackle of the future.

But obviously, all that is now water under the bridge.

Leno was a FA and went for 5 mill on a prove it deal. Brown is going for double (totally worth that number) and we also would have to give something up for him.  Only thing I would say with Leno, Leno and Erving inside are better than Erving with elf inside. Elf was done in Minny, cooked in NYC and dead here. Not saying Leno is some savior or anything close.

Now if we could find a LG well that be nice too. Kinda pissed we didn't ask for a friendly deal with the Bills when they moved on so early from Wyatt Teller but that's long gone now.

 

Pretty much anyone that's not big bucks will be a stopgap though, rather pay a penny not the pound that Brown was going to cost.

If only I had thought of this.

Cam Erving did a good job today.

He did his job the majority of the time.  That's about all you can expect. 

They all need to be much better in the run game however.  If CMC didn't have the ability to make something out of nothing the score could have been much closer. 

Erv is playing better than I thought he could. I swear he had a different look for game 2, I think he switched shoulder pads(maybe helmet/gloves as well). Hes playing stronger and better balance than game 1/other years. Confidence as well, that maybe the real reason. If he keeps this level up along with health*, that will do wonders for the team.

LG is a far bigger weakness than LT has been.

I think you will find that as one position kinda sorta gets fixed the other weaknesses will become more apparent.  

From my untrained eyes looking at the oline from last season the biggest issues were on the left side. Well you could add center in there as well but the left was just so bad it made Paradis look average. 

This season, albeit 2 games in, it looks like it's mostly the middle.  Could it be who opponents are attacking? Probably, that's who I would attack.

Maybe Erving can hold onto the position longer than anyone since Gross. That would be nice. It's his until someone better steps up.

Now those guards? Not tough enough to be called nfl lineman if you asked me.

I know you didn't so don't come at me.

This could be it and color me surprised that we attacked probably the best OT pairing in the NFL on defense with great success.

We have a very very young core, we do not need to rush anything or spend massive amounts of draft capital on any position that isn't QB. 

I am by no means "sold" on Darnold but it appears we decided just to treat him as a rookie and as long as he continues to progress a QB may not be needed.

Running behind Miller and Moton has been fine, I don't even recall Miller's name being brought up, it's the LG position that was PITIFUL. 

Almost every run off the LG was stuffed, I'd like to see Brown there, stop the ''versatility'' talk and put in a road grader at that spot. 

while I would like sto see brown too our line isn't great. We can't even get a yard on the goal line.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      By strato · Posted

      Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade.

      Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
