If Christensen and Brown both become atleast serviceable starters, if not more(Especially in Christensens case) then that would mean 3/5th of our Offensive Line is solved and we only need to draft and develop 2 more guys.

The problem is Rhule can't develop offensive lineman, so IF he stays he needs to bring in an experienced offensive line coach and not another buddy from college.

I think this may be the concern our coaching staff has with Christensen:

draft percentiles

It shows Brady's arms are in the 4th percentile for an NFL OT.  So basically 96 % of OT measured had longer arms than Brady did.  

Those numbers are pretty bad, I must admit.  But I'd still rather give the guy a chance, especially given his excellent college career playing LT.  And all his outstanding performance numbers otherwise.  Christensen is an elite athlete.

Our alternatives at LT are poo so why not try Christensen out ??  Seriously, what does the team have to lose ?

Why are we starting Daley????????? Erving, BC, Moton, and Elf at center are givens with Brown deserving a shot followed by MJ and Scott. Daley is just terribly and has been on the team for years…. 

Daley is poo.  That's been pretty well established in his career.  He's just not a starting LT in the NFL.  And watching 5 minutes of his tape gives all the evidence of his failures that one needs. 

Christensen is the question mark.  We really don't know what we have with him yet.   And that's a huge failure of the current coaching staff.   They need to find out what he can & can't do.   The only way to do that is to give him playing time.

Fug it. I don't even care anymore. I'm at the point of actually hoping for Rhule to make as many stupid decisions as possible to hopefully ensure his firing. Play Darnold when he's cleared. Stick with him after he throws three INTs before halftime.

 

 

You don’t have to hope for any of that dumb sh*t to happen. Panthers are getting their dicks punched in again by the Falcons tomorrow and it’s gonna be hilarious

I am inclined to agree. The Falcons are not as bad as their record indicates, so the Panthers will have to play an "A Plus" game if they are going to have a chance to win.

Looks like Brady is starting at RG, wouldn’t it make more sense to start him at LG (and I know, nothing about this makes sense). I was thinking at least keep him on the left side. For those of you who understand O-Line, wouldn’t it be easier for him to transition to LG, instead of RG, from LT, or does it not matter?

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
