Sorry, they need to start Christensen over Daley and get this young man used to NFL play.  I don't like idea of moving him to the right side anyway.  Maybe he'll have enough snaps under his belt to slide over to LT by next season and beat out Erving.  Dude ain't getting any better on the sideline.

I would prefer this as well.  But I'm not an offensive line coach.  I have to remind myself that these offensive line kids are not conditioned for the long nfl season. Very few are able to handle that kind of worked load much less learn all the protections.  Sometimes they are forced to start out if necessity for bad teams, maybe we are ine of them, but it's not the preferred route for coaches. 

Christensen may be able to start soon but the big boy Brown may take some time on the conditioning side to be able to start.

It wouldn't make me cry to see Deonte get some snaps this week.

Obviously he isn't ready to start, and his position flexibility is non-existent.  However, this might be the best chance he has this year:  get on the bench when someone is injured and grabbing a few snaps here or there.  Maybe he turns some heads in those reps, best case scenario.

Addition by subtraction.   This might  be the beginning of the end for elf. Lose his position to a younger better player that got thrown into the mix earlier than expected 

Who is younger and better? It ain’t Daley. Christenson meh. And Brown isn’t getting a chance (right or wrong) until his weight drops.

Didn’t we see this same Story with Norwell and Rivera?  Norwell was the clear better but it took an injury to the starter that was struggling before Rivera put him in?

It was a lot farther along in the season, if my memory serves me right. I don't see anything wrong with bringing rookies along slowly. The "throw them into the fire" philosophy often backfires.

I completely understand the desire to start the younger (and at some point likely better) options now...however, coaches need Sam to be calm, do his job, and not get panicked.  A couple/few missed blitzes by the youngins, and we could undo a lot of work that's gone into Sam already.

      Worst Panthers Preseason Yet

      By Shotgun · Posted

      The panthers are such a trash organization at this point that all the huddle can do is argue about which panthers team is historically the worst…good times.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Well, hope they're not worried about a torn Labrum or Rotator Cuff, as someone who went through that myself, I know those don't have anything show up on X-Rays but from the MRI, so this is kinda a nothing update, hope it's not a tear or his season is already over if they decide to do surgery now. Which is basically what would be needed to get him to 100% for the start of next season's training camp if it's a labrum.  If he plays the season with it and then does surgery, he's not going to be ready for camp and probably not the start of the season either.

      Preseason over..2025 predictions

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I always try to not pay much attention to a team’s preseason win/loss record. The 1982 Washington and 2021 LA Rams both lost every game in the preseason and went on to win the Super Bowl, whereas the 2008 Detroit Lions and 2017 Cleveland Browns both won every game in reason and went on to lose every regular season game. There’s many examples of teams that lose in preseason that go on to have good seasons, but equally there are teams that lose in preseason and that continues in the regular season. Which will we be?  I think our floor is a handful of wins, while our ceiling will probably be around the 9-10 win mark. The latter will require significant improvement from the whole team and coaching staff, and will also need Bryce to play like the QB we drafted him to be. I want to be optimistic and predict a winning season, but it’s really difficult as a Panthers fan!
