not only olineman but back ups lol

as I just said in another thread, least he’s trying before Sam ends up in the ER

it is concerning they’re so stubborn and won’t even try Christianson without anything to lose.

either it’s really dumb or he is looking otherworldly awful in practice

Sounds like they realize this line was a big mistake. Better later than never I suppose.

He slips up at the end of his presser when Person asked if he was neighbours with any left tackles. 
 

Scott replied “unfortunately we haven’t found one yet”

They realize their OL isn’t good enough

It would be foolish in the extreme for fans to believe that what we can see isn't just as glaringly obvious to our front office.  So yes, of course we've called around. 

But other teams are also not blind, and have scouting departments.  They know how badly we need some help there, so it will come at a premium.  It's obvious, isn't it?  The worse you need it, the more you're willing to pay to get it, right?

I applaud the front office for not overpaying to get a guy.  That's the kind of restraint that builds a consistent contender as opposed to a "window" team.  I want to see the Panthers as part of the playoff conversation EVERY YEAR.  This front office looks like it may actually get us there.

Like I said teams aren’t giving up oline talent because there isn’t much to go around. We’re gonna have to be active in FA and the draft to upgrade. But it’s gonna have to be next year. I hope we get some talent via FA because besides the 1st round you can’t expect a starter rounds 4 and down.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
