@ladypanther Unfortunately, they 'thought' they addressed the OL with Erving and Elfline.  They were terribly wrong on that.  

Pretty much.

Even Matt Rhule isn't stupid enough to just completely ignore the position.

He is, however, dumb enough to think that versatility over all else is what makes for a great offensive line.

I am skeptical about Rhule's talent evaluation of O-linemen. That being said, this off-season will tell the story. I think that last off-season they were doing the best that they could on the cheap. I would hate to believe that Rhule believed his own bullshit when selling us on the idea of glorified dogshit. If he did, he's a lost cause. That being said, I would've respected him and Fitterer more if they said that they were giving fringe guys an opportunity to show that they were capable of being quality starters and we'll see how it works out. I would've respected him even more if he had said during mid season that we are going to see if we can't get better O-line play from the younger guys by letting them play once it was established that the vets weren't getting it done.

So now...everyone (Panther staff) says we need to build the oline. Fitt says you build a team with the oline and dline.  What the heck were they doing last year?  Why did they just wake up and have this revelation?  Teddy was sacked a bunch. And why do you think he had all those short throwS?. Had to get the ball out quick. Anytime it was crunch time the oline crumbled. Then they went out and got a QB who was considered a failure who had played behind a terrible oline.  They did the same thing to him.  This just baffles me. Now they say it is important????

Two words, Matt Rhule.

      Evero?!?! Should he be on the Hot Seat

      By CRA · Posted

      Night and day difference in the front office investements.  Since Morgan has been in the FO (5 years)....4 out of 5 first round picks have been offensive players.  The one defensive pick was a corner. Expand it out to the first 2 rounds? 7 out of the 9 picks have been offensive.  That IMO is why our D sucks so bad.   You build defenses up front.   Carolina hasn't been investing there.  Ron's first 5 years? 3 of the 5 first round picks were defensive players.  Expand it all to include second rounders  7 of the 10 picks were defensive.  All front 7 players.

      I think he gets this year to show what he can do.  Last year, we had a lot of injuries. This year, we should have some players, even if we lose one or two.  It's the first preseason game.  Some of the starters weren't even in it.  There is no scheming or game planning.  Let's see how guys do when it counts. I think we have a GM that knows a thing or two about defense.  Let it play out.

      give some props to Andy Dalton

      By NorthTryon · Posted

      I was ok with the mentor aspect of keeping Dalton, but wow has he fallen off the deep end. The slow behind the WR interception was awful. I keep hearing our WRs created no separation, but on that particular play dude was wide open and Dalton couldn't get it to him with a clean pocket. Next year, we need to address the backup QB spot haaaaaard!
