PFF: Panthers had one of the worst offensive line performances of our lifetime yesterday

I am still struggling to comprehend how we aren't at least giving BC playing time in every game.  It would be criminal to walk out of this season without knowing what we have in him.  I mean, in limited time, he's shown growth.  He even had a game where he looked average.

With this line, I'll take average.  A good coaching staff can work with average.

Monson: The Carolina Panthers offensive line is in danger of derailing the Sam Darnold reclamation project

I ran across this June2021 article pertaining to Sam Darnold and the Panthers inept offensive line and the mess he could be heading into at the time. I thought it interesting reading . Please clink on link to view.

I read that at the time and agreed at the time.

Unfortunately, it seems that Brady isn't the guru everyone thought he was.  Maybe a step up from Gase.  Maybe?

What we effectively did was talk ourselves into the idea that Sam's problem was the situation.  That's all fine and dandy, but what we followed up with was putting Sam back into nearly the exact same situation.  A line whose play demanded he be a very fast decision maker and a scheme that might not be very good.

Definition of insanity.

So much for the argument it's Darnolds fault. The Panthers o-line is worse than the Jet's  ever was when Darnold was there. And that's saying something. 

Darnold is absolutely part of the blame. He holds on to the ball and makes terrible reads when he has time. Our line last week was a disaster, but we have had a different combination every week (which is part of the problem). Tua’s line has been worse this season and he hasn’t looked nearly as bad as Sam.

Said it before and will say it again, cut all our guys cept Moron and sign whatever the best o-line in the CFL was in entirety: better line than what we have now.

You have to start at the top. The guys who drafting and the coaches. It appears that the Tepper train has jack knixed. Whole train gone off the track.

When they decided they were gonna try to rebuild Darnold, the absolute first priority should have been building a great offensive line.

What really sours me on Matt Rhule though is that I think in his mind, he believed that's what he was doing.

Why has the o line coach not been fired? A showing like that demands an immediate firing.

I think it'll probably happen at season's end. Could happen sooner I suppose, don't know.

Whether or not the problems are actually his fault would be a valid question.

It’ll be interesting if Rhule goes against his ‘I don’t fire coaching staff’ rule.

Bad players will turn in bad performances, but having a line turn in a historically bad performance is more than just bad players being bad. A ‘winning culture’ should have zero tolerance for that crap.

    • The reset worked with proton.me.. wouldn’t work with my Gmail, Yahoo or Verizon email accounts 
    • Wish they started at 5:30 or 6 at the latest so I can watch it. I have to be in bed by start time.
    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.
