UPDATING BREAKING NEWS: Otah on IR, Panthers sign OL Pettiti

OK, here's more on the news that the Panthers have put Jeff Otah on injured reserve.

He suffered a knee injury early in last Sunday's 20-10 loss at New England and played for much of the game before leaving with a sore shoulder late.

However, the knee injury turned out to be significant, but is not a ligament tear, according to general manager Marty Hurney.

Otah is expected to have surgery and to be ready for the Panthers' offseason minicamp, OTA, etc.

Well at least Gross and Otah going down will give our inexperienced depth on the OLine some experience for next season. Who knows we may be more competitive down the stretch and that experience will be invaluable.

At least it appears nothing serious and nothing that is likely to cause a weakness for future injuries.

yeah....that franchise tag on pep....awesome idea.

OL depth was going to be bad anyway cause hangman and omiyale were most likely going to be taking starting jobs somewhere but still that left us with really crappy choices at OL depth.

another major fail for the panthers FO.

    • I'd like to see the gameday chats come back, especially if you can get it mobile compatible and like those support chats that stay on the screen even when you move around the site. We could use them during CLTFC and Hornets games now too.
    • There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring. 
    • I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
