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

      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.
