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?

I've read numerous OL guys say the transition from R to L (or vice versa) is actually much more difficult that it would initially appear.

If you've played on one side on the line for many years, when you get switched every instinct you have is completely wrong.  Those decisions you have to make in just fractions of a second take a little longer since you're translating what you're doing for your body.   Maybe if you've been playing for many years it's not so bad but much more difficult for rookies or other young players.

That's why playing Christensen at RG is incredibly stupid.  Rhule is using him like he's a 10 year pro, not a rookie still trying to learn the game (which he is).  Rhule is actually hurting Christensen's development by moving him to so many positions.  Just put him at one hecking spot and leave him there in his rookie year !!!  How hecking much of an idiot do you have to be not to understand that ??

That’s what I was thinking as well, I appreciate the insight. I also like the idea of his athleticism at LG and pair him with an athletic LT in the draft. I’d rather put a mauling guard next to Moton.

The Panthers OL is currently tailor made to have super athletic Brady Christensen at LG and huge mauler Deonte Brown at RG.    

Rhule, do the obvious thing and put them there !!!!

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
