#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

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
