Latest word is they're gonna keep him on the right...at least until Corbett gets back

Interesting. The most obvious long-term lineup is Ickey, Zavala, Bozeman, Corbett, Moton ... why delay getting 4 of those 5 pieces in place?

Possible reasons:

  • Corbett is further away than expected? Meaning we need Zavala at RG for much longer than 3 weeks.
  • Corbett is moving to LG when he gets back.
  • The coaches think Zavala will have no issues moving back his college position of LG once Corbett returns.
  • The coaches are slow playing it so Brady doesn't feel that he is being replaced in the starting lineup.

1000% guessing but I think they don’t want to mix up 2 different positions from their starting lineup vs 1. All they want to worry about is the best player to play LG and the rest of the OL should be the same. When Corbet comes back we already has experience/ chemistry with Moton and Bozeman so he can slide right back into RG while Zavala can flip to LG with some experience under his belt  and hopefully lock down that spot for many years.

Meaningless now, but it wasn't so meaningless to the guy trying to win the head coaching job at the time.

He was never going to win the job and that should’ve been communicated to him as we were mindful of protecting our long term assets rather than pretending to interview 

now the bill has predictably come due 

also lol at the notion that Steve Wilks should be commended for putting his own career aspirations above the good health of his players

We were a Tampa bay win away from making the playoffs.

How were those games meaningless?

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      We won't know the answer to this for a long time. Reality is, Caleb has been the consensus #1 in that draft for years. Bryce was a similar situation, but mostly the same. He was not the clear and obvious #1 that Caleb was, but most teams had Bryce at QB1. The Panthers were always going to be terrible Bryce's rookie year.  I don't think DJ Moore's presence would have changed anything about that offense, as our guards, center, and left tackle were getting demolished on nearly every snap. It's clear Caleb's dad was trying to do everything possible to ensure Caleb didn't end up in Chicago with Eberflus. It's hard to imagine that he wouldn't have done the same, but probably more publicly with our situation, considering Carolina is an easier target for the media than Chicago. We can all speculate, but it's impossible to tell who is going to have the better career on May 16, 2025. If either QB doesn't pan out, we have an easy answer. If both flame out, the bears clearly won the trade, but it wouldn't have really mattered anyway. We all know how we win the trade. Candidly, even if one of the other picks we gave up ends up being a hall of fame player, we don't know if the panthers would have taken that player anyway. All you can do is make the best decision you can in the moment with the information you have. I really like Bryce Young, and I'm glad he's a Carolina Panther.  The only way to win in the modern NFL is to have an absolute dude at QB. I personally am happy that our franchise recognizes this, as I remember times when they did not.

      This year, there's been enough positive talk from core players, free agents, and coaches to where I believe the culture building and momentum is more important than fighting for a worse record.
