Just now, Jon Snow said:

At this point you put the best player in at LG regardless of who it is. It's next man up. 

Fasten your seat belt folks. It's going to be a bumpy ride.

Agreed, I guess my point was that I can't see how that best next man up would be Mays, it's clearly Zavala or else Mays would be playing RG right now.

How this could benefit the Panthers in the long run: 

(Thank me later for being the voice of constant optimism and hope)

1.  Zavala moves to LG, his "natural position."  He never looks back.  BC had a PFF score of 56 or so last year--weakest link.

2.  Panthers can put Mays at RG, giving him valuable experience over the next 3 games until Corbett returns. 

Note:  By week 5, we have 2 starting guards and a backup.  Perhaps Christensen returns and there is no place for him.   GOOD!

3. BC has the athleticism to play OT, so you play him as the backup swing T-focusing on the right side.

4.  In 2024, Moton's contract swells to $30m.  Maybe you can trade him this season before the trade deadline (risky, I know) and move BC to starting RT.

Note: You saved $30m, upgraded at RG, and you have not lost a lot at RT if BC reaches his potential.  With the $30m in savings, you could probably sign a pretty good CB (Jackson is walking in 2024 as well) and WR.

While I like Moton, I do not see the logic behind giving him $30m when a team on a playoff run  is likely to overpay before the trade deadline.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
