looks like a lot of people had high hopes for jeff this season. i saw some when asked, thought he'd have a pro bowl kind of season in his second season with the panthers. while he's been great in the run game he's been borderline horrible in the passing game. he often looks like he has lead feet when forced to pass block. it also seems like atleast once a game,he's rolling around on the ground with some phantom knee or leg problem that makes us all go oh no not again.what does the future hold for jeff and is he still on the upswing?

well he's on IR now, so we'll never know if he would've been pro-bowl-worthy or not. also, most fans aren't trained enough to be able to judge the caliber of an offensive lineman unless that lineman is unbelievably dominant.

he false starts a lot, so that's definitely a problem, and he does have pass protection problems - an area schwartz was definitely much improved in. run-blocking though... the man is an absolute steamroller... hard to argue with that. it's one of the reasons our run game has been so dominant.

He was midseason All-Pro for Peter King. Apparently the rest of the league disagrees with you as he is seen as one of the best RTs in the game.

He had some false starts, thats about it. I think he confusing Vincent with the holding calls and letting his man beat him for sacks

Otah was on some all-pro stuff before the injury

otah had 6 false starts, 0 holding, 5 sacks allowed.

sorry....not really seeing that as a weak point there. it isn't perfect but for a sophomore on a team with huge offensive problems for most of the year...i'd say he did pretty well.

phantom injuries? rolling on the ground? how often was that really seen? lol.

he hasnt completed a full season. and if u watch all the games like i do, u'd see he goes down more than the rest of the lineman(tho he gets back up most of the time) on the team.

I noticed that D'Brickashaw Ferguson was added to the pro bowl for the AFC this year. Here was his stat line- 16 games played, 8 penalties for 60 yards, 5 false starts, 2 holding penalties, 8 sacks allowed.

Here are Otah numbers- 13 games started, 7 penalties for 35 yards ( 6 false starts, 0 holding, 5 sacks allowed.

Yes he plays right side and Ferguson plays left side. Still the stat line by comparison suggests he is doing okay for a second year player.

just sayin...........................

      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.
