#11. CAROLINA PANTHERS (UP 3)

Projected Week 15 Starters:

LT Ikem Ekwonu
LG Brady Christensen
C Bradley Bozeman
RG Austin Corbett
RT Taylor Moton

  • No line has allowed fewer total pressures than the 71 the Panthers have given up over the season.
  • No starter on the line has a PFF pass-blocking grade below 67.2 for the year.

So we're #11 despite allowing the fewest pressures, and with our run game performing how it is? Wild.

Yes. Do you know how rare a good oline is? #11 out of 32 is about top 30%…that’s very impressive. I think one more year keeping them together could prove a top tier oline. 

Oline is the second most important aspect of a winning team aside from defense and even ahead of an elite QB. If you watch the top oline teams like the eagles and chiefs, you can tell they’re on another level than the panthers.

I still see a few bonehead blunders every game and that’s probably keeping us out of top 5 but this ranking is about where I would rank them.

age is key, 4 out of 5 are younger than 27. 

the other huge key is control- those same 4 are all under control for the next 3 years.

I still remember my talk skip holtz. I asked him what was his number 1 goal when he took over a program- "fix the OL"

You can control the game with a elite OL and you dont need a elite QB or elite RB/WR to get elite results. 

finesserererererer needs some praise for doing this via both the draft and FA allllll within 2 years.

A great o line is definitely rare and it's pretty awesome pff even considers us 11th, just surprised by the stat snippet - I wouldn't really have expected so few pressures, but as stbugs said we don't exactly have many pass attempts.  

but sacks given up aren't all on the OL. All our QBs have def given some up at times.

Funny how much better this oline got once Elflein was benched. Of course Fatt Fhule didn't realize Bozeman was like five times better... Just add that to his laundry list of fugups for us...

I already thought Rhule was a clown, but that Center battle in camp during a QB battle was the most baffling poo. I gotta imagine it's because Rhule wanted Elf the year before and Fitt picked up Boze without Rhules consent to upgrade and Rhule was like woah woah woah a heheheh oink oink I'm the Head Coach buddy

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
