I remember him getting his hands on his man and pushing him basically to the far sideline on a running play in his first preseason.  I don't remember the team but it was their first team defense.

He was dominant when he was healthy, a prototype mauler of a right tackle.  Sucks he was another NFL coulda been if it wasn't for injuries.

e: I think it was against the Colts, just looked up the preseason schedule from 08.

Yeah his power and technique were elite, and defenders couldn't see around him so Williams and Stewart would make huge gains.

Either Byron Bell or Nate Chandler

 

 But in all seriousness, I would say Oher.  He came in and instantly gave us what we had been missing in that position, did more than we could’ve asked for.  That damn concussion man.

It is unquestionably not Oher.

Travelle Wharton was decent when he had that job, although he was better as a guard

Travelle was probably the most unappreciated offensive linemen we ever had.  The guy could play every position on the line without any question.

So Travelle would be my choice.  I like Oher but he was only with us for a short while.

Was at the game where he got concussed. The whole game unraveled from there along with his career. Hate it for him and us.

Honestly, second best tackle might be Moton.

He is quiet, he does his job, but he's been surrounded by crap ever since he earned the starting role so people probably think less of him than they should. Moton is the lone bright spot in the garbage heap that is our line that Rhule has constructed.

People are overvaluing Otah. Dude was never healthy and he had more penalties in less than half the games that Moton has started:

Brockermeyer then Jones. Stuessie wasn’t terrible.

Brockermeyer and then Stuessie.  Brockermeyer was solid, though not elite and Stuessie's problem was false starts and holds, IIRC.  Todd's protection was actually decent when he wasn't drawing flags.

when on the field and healthy?  Otah. 

career in Carolina? My money would be on Moton ending up w/ the 2 spot.  That obviously OTs in general.  

just left side?  Wharton IMO is underrated since he was primarily a OT.   He is my #3 on my all time OL in Carolina list.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      They're pretty far off, double T-Mac's stats to get to the same targets as XL and it would be 4 drops to 7.  A 3 drop difference might not sound like a lot, but it's still almost twice as many drops on the same number of targets. Not to mention, if I remember correctly, XL's drop problems last year seemed more down field, where he was dropping passes he should be making and it was clear his poor hands were there reason he dropped them. And weren't both of T-Mac's drops this year on quick hitters with blockers out in front of him?  I know at least the second one was as he was going to go for a huge play and maybe a TD on it. To me, and yes, I'd say this about any other player, those are drops because a rookie was trying to do too much in making a play before securing the catch.  Much easier to improve upon than dropping passes because you have bricks for hands and body catch more often than hands catch, like with XL. And yes, 100%, which is why I wasn't one of those people you were referring to with talking about him that way last year.  Yes, I said he had drop problems., because he did, but I didn't think they were unsolvable and expected to see great improvement this year (unfortunately not sure that happened though).

      Every iffy call has gone the way of the Chiefs tonight, per usual. They had a TD earlier tonight that looked like obvious offensive pass interference and the flag was throw but picked up.
