Which offensive line do you wanna see?

the offensive line in the second half of the season, which included many backups and players in new positions, looked much better than what we started with. I don't remember nearly as many runs where JStew or DWill ran into the back of their blockers for a three yard loss in the last 6 weeks.

Which line do we see next year? The guys who started, or the guys who finished?

I sincerely doubt we sit Gross and Otah, if that's what you're implying.

I'm thinking he is wanting to trade one or both of them. I would consider trading Otah (I think Schwartz can fill in nicely at RT) for a 1st but otherwise, no. Gross is a great LT wherein Wharton is a good LT great LG.

If you notice the playcalling had a lot of plays rolling outside the pocket to keep Moore from being under pressure. That could be because of Moore's better mobility or it could be because of scheming to cover up our olines weakness IDK.

It should be noted that last season the O-Line and run game exploded down the stretch, very similar to this year. I think it probably has something more to do with cohesiveness, repetition and finding their rhythm than it is personnel.

I will say that our O-line should be set for next year, I don't see the need to make a single change.

i was thinking along the lines of a trade... but it is comforting having such capable backups

yeah, definitely is nice to know we have great depth at o-line. look at the Packers when their o-line got banged up early on, they were on pace to shatter the single season sacks allowed record.

however, I have complete confidence in our offensive line coaches/etc. We got Schwartz LATE in the 7th round, and they turned him into a respectable player. Shouldn't be too hard to find a decent back-up that they can mold into a good player.

moore being able to actually throw a completion helped things too... kept defenses honest. when jake was at the helm defenses would blitz like crazy or drop eight in the box to stop the run... that never makes it easy on offensive lines.

i think it's no coincidence that everyone's looked better since moore started.

I think that has a lot to do with it.

I also agree with this. It's not just the offensive line we should look at, but also our opposing defensive lines and the performances of the backs themselves.

I was very impressed with the performance of our makeshift line, but I wouldn't be so quick to start any of our backups or trade away players like Gross and Otah. If anything, I'd want to try and send away backups for picks, a la last year. Really though, I'd rather just keep them knowing we've got great depth on the line.

Sometimes it's okay to recognize you have great depth at positions without feeling the need to have them supplant the starters (especially when said starters are Pro Bowlers).

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
