Too soon to tell. With preseason you never know of a guy is going against a starter or backup (unless you watch every play for that one spot). Corbett hasn’t played at all so I’d think he’s a few weeks out at a minimum. Zavala will be RG (likely) so when the real games start they’ll have a better idea if he’s playing so well that either Corbett slides into LG, which I don’t know if he’s played much) or Corbett slides into RG and BC stays left.

One thing to remember is that with Iky’s play being pretty spotty, the coaches may not want to throw a rookie next to Iky because that’s a recipe for a missed assignment huge hit on Young.

Way too early but he has looked good so far. Would be great if he locks down LG this year. If so I’d go guard with our 2nd next year and get Corbets replacement in the building and have line locked up for the next 3-5 years. 

Or with Zavala and BC you already have Corbetts replacement and the G position locked up for the next 3-5.

It’s too early to tell. We will have an answer by the end of this season. BC played very well as a rookie under Rhule playing every position but what he should have. He had mixed results year 2 in a full time position and was getting better week by week last season. This year feels like a make or break season for him long term role with the team

I hope the plan is for Zavala to get some reps and cut his NFL teeth at RG until Corbett is back. Then, move over to his former running mate and secure Bryce's blindside. Feel like the chemistry between Zavala and Ickey can only help Ickey, long-term too to have a familar face beside him.

I'd prefer BC to be a swing guy or rotate in.

Talking about chemistry with Ickey. I would think he and BC playing all last season next to each other and then the entirety of training camp together has got to count for some amount of chemistry.

Agreed. College chemistry is nice but Zavalabis a rookie who hasn’t gotten a lot of reps due to a preseason injury and Iky’s looked a lot like a rookie so far in the preseason games. Pairing them could make for a couple disastrous plays so I’d think the coaches might keep BC their until they know Zavala is ready when Corbett is back.

Should also add that a positive of moving him to the left is he'll be lining up next to a guy he's already got great chemistry with.

Do they though?

I know this keeps getting brought up, about how they already have this connection on the field due to playing in college together.  But I think they only played something like 5 or 6 games together as Zavala was hurt that season I believe and missed half of it.

Yes, it's more than not having any familiarity, but I'm not sure 6 games in college 2 years ago really means much at this point.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By CPF4LIFE · Posted

      So let me ask you this, and this is assuming you watched the first 2 games of the season. The falcons game was a back and forth between to 2 bad teams until bryce throws 2 crucial picks to help atlanta pull away. The second game was a sloppy game where the defense scored and our offense did absolutely nothing till the 4th quarter, bryce even fumbles and saints return for a TD. If Dalton starts both of those games is the outcome and playout still the same for both games?

      sure.  I acknowledge we had a rookie making rookie mistakes.  You fail to acknowledge a pushing 40 Dalton however paired up in this trainwreck wasn't going to yield significantly better results. good results.   And Dalton didn't even win his game vs a wrecked Seattle D.  Andy Dalton couldn't even find a way for his team to beat the Carolina freaking Panthers in 2022.  A team with an interim HC, that couldn't score, playing like it was 1970.   And Andy Dalton had REAL weapons on the field at his disposal.   All Dalton had to do was score more than 10 points.  He couldn't pull that off.    I probably got as little faith in Bryce as anyone here.   But I'm not willing to go this Andy Dalton route.  Maybe he wins 4ish here.  But he wasn't doing much here.  Dalton isn't Cincy Dalton.

      What do you think really happens here?  Do you think that Seattle loss with half a secondary is a realistic game for Dalton to consistently have?  Do you expect 40 year old Dalton to throw it 60 times and rack up 361 yards while constantly getting hit to work against other teams?  If we played him all year do you think he would rack up 6,137 yards 34 TDs and 0 INTs on over a thousand attempts?  That games wasn't a great game.  We were trailing all game and he threw it against a terrible secondary 60 times averaging 6.6 yards an attempt.  He had one "deep" pass to Chark (wide ass open) for 27 yards who ran another 20 for a TD.  That's not happening against other teams.  I would be surprised if Dalton made it two more games taking those kinds of hits and probably losing both of those games.  Our OL sucked, Our coaches sucked, and our weapons sucked.  Remember Rhule beat Andy Dalton and his Saints offense (which has a better OL and better weapons) just the prior year.  Yeah Matt Rhule...  Darnold put up 43 yards and 2 INTs and Dalton STILL couldn't beat him.  That's embarrassing.
