Not implying that Young will be a Brees (no way). They are following the 'Aints formula to protect a smaller QB with an average arm at best.

If they intend on keeping Young then they had to do something. 

Stack the middle of the Oline with stout players and get Young to move around a bit to see over the 6'6 lineman.

If this doesn't work then, Young needs to go.

It is really not about seeing over the linemen as much as it is giving you the ability and confidence to step up--if pressure is coming from the outside, a QB can step up.  and it really doesnt disrupt the timing as much as having to bail out. 

Protection improves the timing, and timing increases the likelihood that the receiver will be open when the play is designed to get it to him.  Most DBs are measured by the time it takes them to close the gap after the break. 

Bryce is a smart kid, and when he can focus on the secondary instead of the front 7, he will improve. No, he is not known for his height or arm strength.  we shall see

Just because your arch enemy adopts an idea, doesn’t mean you should not consider it. If it is a good idea, then I would use it as quickly as possible. Don’t throw away a good idea just because you’re hated rival uses it.

For sure. A good line and we might even see the Sanders we over paid for.

This is exactly why I think we’ll be quiet at RB this offseason.  We’ll bring in some serviceable young guys that have little to no risk, but I doubt we’ll go beyond that this year.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?

      LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.

      After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
