I think the long term key is really Christensen.  If he can become even a league average LT (not outstanding, just OK) then we could have something to build on.  

That's especially true if Michael Jordan continues to play well.  Last game he was a PFF 75 score, which is really good.  He could be the answer at our LG spot.

With the first round draft pick the Panthers could select either a LT (if available) or the best interior lineman in the draft (C or G) who would be an instant starter.  

All of that could be enough to get some decent OL play for next season.  

But Christensen needs the reps now so he can make his mistakes and learn from them this year.  The second half of the season is crucial for his development.

That's what no one is talking about.  Everyone is treating Cam as the savior that's going to rescue our season and everything is going to be awesome, and I certain hope that's the case and I'll be pulling hard for Cam.  

That said, he may get behind center and he gets blown up and end up running for his life and it turns into a poo show.  He's obviously more mobile than Sam but it's going to be interesting how this turns out....

It will be interesting all right.  We have the same team except for one position. A worse o line than last week, same sorry ass OC, half ass special teams, and limp dick Rhule heading it up.  I don't see Cam in his prime doing much to change the season for this bunch of losers,  let alone Cam as he is now.

When Mike White for the Jets had his big passing day recently (405 yards) he got rid of the ball in 2.5 seconds on average.  So even behind the New York's suspect Oline (which is as putrid as ours) White had few to no problems with their protections.

That's Sams biggest issue and part of the reason for the drops. Waits too long til a guy is obviously open, then has to throw a dart that's like 1-2 feet off target. Defenses straight making fun of us on the field

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.

      I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it.

      LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
