Great article about Christensen, author throws shade all over Rhule’s face about arm length

Our OL situation becomes a MUCH easier fix if we have the long-term solutions in place at both OT spots. Serviceable IOL are much easier to find. Well, they are unless Matt Rhule or Marty Hurney are the ones shopping. My concern is Scott Fitterer may need to be on that list too. Seattle's OL is as bad as ours.

not sure how many times he said "who Rhule sees as a guard because of his arm length, but it felt like it was every other sentence. 

I felt like it was done for the purpose of memeing, so I had to continue the tradition.

One thing I really did not take into consideration was how little the offensive line matters in the Big 12. I remember now reading tons of articles about how top flight o line recruits will stay away from the conference because no one gets drafted out of there. Since they all run some air raid variation, all they need is their offensive lineman to be able to get up quickly and move to the next play. Blocking wise you just need to slow the defender down a little bit.

In the NFL....not so much.

SMH, man people are ready to crown him @MHS831 . He’s been OK but not being able to pick up blitzes after his guy stunts is a big problem. It cost us 1/3 of the points NO scored because a free run at the QB that should have been picked up is the most likely to cause a fumble.

Maybe he can get better but that’s why tackles are so important, especially on the blind side. If a rusher comes up the middle it’s bad but the QB can see it and at least react. The tackles screwing up is what typically creates the fumbles.

It’s funny that the article keeps mentioning being seen as a guard even though he’s right now playing LT for us. Seems like he’s getting an opportunity. I just hope we don’t pass on a much more talented LT on the hope that next time he’ll actually react quicker to the blitz since he didn’t even get his 🦖 arms out to impede the blitzer. As said above, solid IOL help is available day 2 of every draft. Remember our buddy Hurney didn’t draft a single IOL from 2018 to 2020 after letting Norwell walk, trading Turner and watching Ryan retire. That’s the reason why our interior is a steaming pile of poo.

He's a rookie who has gotten minimal playing time and yet has still been by far and away our lost effective LT. It's 100% on Rhule. It's 100% on Rhule why we haven't seen Deonte Brown despite everyone we've trotted out at RG getting treated like a doormat.

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      Nothing will change with the qb situation until Tepper is convinced Young is not viable. Until that point, it will be Young. During that time, any shortcomings of Young will be because he does not have the necessary supporting cast, and/or coaches are failing him with faulty schemes and defective gameplans.  So, until Tepper is out, Young is in.

      Young is the kind of QB who will go as far as the team drags him 90% of the time. And once in a long while he'll explode and light the opposing team up. That is not anywhere near where we need to be as a team. What' worse is that we've won way too many games this season due to an extremely easy schedule. So we can't select a top QB in the draft, and a free agent QB is usually not the answer.  The Panthers fell victim to a long stretch of bad QBs coming out of college. Even if we had made different moves and selected any number of different QBs coming out, we still would have ended up with a bust most likely. Bryce is a bust. Tua is a bust. Zach Wilson? Yikes. Trey Lance. Justin Fields. Mac Jones. Kenny Picket. CJ Stroud. My point is that a lot of teams were devastated by this stretch of bad QBs coming out of college, but we were dumb enough to trade the farm for one of them.  The smart move? Tale the 2 first round picks from the Rams for Burns, and keep CMC. Sit tight. Whatever QB falls in your lap in the draft, take him. Then use the other two first round picks to build up the o-line on the cheap. This isn't Morning GMing. I said take the Rams deal at the time. We have not had a good GM ever in franchise history.  No more trading up for QBs. Clearly is a total guessing game. Stay put. Trade vets for draft picks and start the rebuilding process with a new GM and new coaches. Cut Bryce and bring him back on a vet min deal. Then cut him again for being trash. He's done here if I had any say.

      Best and worst PFF grades from Panthers' Week 12 loss to 49ers

      By Jackofalltrades · Posted

      He hasn't been the same since the head injury last year. I don't know if there are some lasting physical effects, or it's just mental. I hope he can get back to form, but I'm highly skeptical.
