Starting O-Line Sunday?

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

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
