Best Offensive Line in Years

We can get another established veteran like Dalton or Flacco, I think. That is more my speed than a bust 1st round QB gamble or some career backup. Get someone that has done it in the past and can manage the offense effectively enough to develop young players.

I think Bryce would probably claim another coaching head if he started all the games next season.

You hit on a biggie. Development of the younger talent. Andy does this in spades. Getting a tempo for the game. Rhythm. The offense is showing completion sans a franchise QB.

I haven't been paying attention but are there any good OT's in the upcoming draft?

In the top 10 perhaps but I am not sure how much that makes sense unless the plan is to trade/cut Ikey or Moton.

There is a possible future path for Ikey at OG or RT if need be but that would be a mighty big waste of top 10 draft capital, IMO.

Ultimately, if the best OT tackle in the draft is available or is BPA, I am 100% for making that choice.

I'm just saying I wouldn't rule anything out. But yeah, I'm hoping Dan truly sticks to a bpa mindset. He didn't do that last year but the early results are somewhat trending in the right direction. It's not bad for not having a 1st round pick. Time will tell of course.

I believe Cade Mays will be a restricted FA 

I guess in my head his rookie contract would have been 4yrs. 2022 draft pick so last year would be the last year of his deal. Guessing maybe when got sent to the practice squad or something it could of changed how it work?

Investment in the O-line should be a no-brainer for any NFL team, especially on the interior to deny defenders the shortest path to blow up a play. The fact the money we spent generated results should come as no surprise. Best part is that we can likely keep this foundation going for a while.

Still, probably best to always try and find an Ugly or two in the draft. Having good depth is critical, as is finding newer and cheaper replacements. I love Moton but I feel he'll be far too much money to keep around after 2026.

I would think he would be a very affordable re-signing. Also, this draft might be the one to finally draft a center.

 

I'm feeling surprising comfortable with Brady and Mays at center.  Hate to lose Brady's versatility on the line with all the injuries we've suffered, but he'll be afforable and effective.

You got to believe some team or teams are going to toss bags of money at Christ. His 2022 LG tape is top tier. He's shown upper level play at C and LT without reps. 

 

I'd almost say if the Panthers were in great cap shape- tag the guy. *with intention of trading him 

He's going to get some 5 years 80 million deal, if not more.

We need to draft the best center in the draft and take this line to the next level.

also, it’s a testament to how good Hunt and Lewis are, that they raise the level of guys that were scrubs last year 

Jonathan Brooks is going to need to be really good for me to get over my anger about passing on Zack Frazier.

    • I honestly think XL will step up this year. Drafting another WR will be great for competition and I think his best days are ahead
    • Bryce has a horrible rookie year Huddle: poor guy needs an o line and some wr Panthers get him an o line and wr Half the huddle: man he sucks since he can't do anything without an o line or wr ( even tho all world mahomes looked mediocre with no o line and only a hof te and mediocre wr - even tho they've drafted a wr in the 1st, 2 in the 2nd and 1 in the 4th in the last 4 years) 
    • The Panthers upgraded the offensive talent so that the PANTHERS could win football games. The offense now a ton of talent and DEPTH. Ask any coach/GM if they could have a dominating offense or defense which would they choose? Of the 2, it’s offense all day. Eagles don’t sniff the SB without Barkley. Home run hitter. 3 and out insurance policy. Defense stays fresh. It’s not the other way around. Far more games are won converting on thirds than stops on third. Dominating defenses are there to seal the deal.  2003 went from SB to suck from losing their WR1. 2005 was an almost. 2015 went from dominating to never again. Never a back to back winning season. Revolving door coaches. No true offensive depth and talent, EVER.  Now that the offense looks loaded, the same fans who pounded the table for #1 to get some DUDES again remind everyone how misused and cheated he was… well he was and everyone knows it. The coaching was bad. System. Talent…. Bad, except for a few players. Bad. Could he have developed in to a more complete player with better everything. Yes…. But good lord get over it. This is not righting the wrongs of the past because that is not possible. This is trying to win games in the NFL, the way everyone else is doing it.  Will BY throw for more yards and TDs this year than Cam did in 2015. Very likely. But so what. I hope he does. I hope all of Cam and Jakes records are obliterated one day because it will likely mean the Panthers are winning more football games. To feel otherwise is obtuse.  Defense was not and is not being ignored. What Dan and Dave have accomplished in 2 off seasons with the offense is nothing short of a miracle. They obviously know what a grown ass football player looks like. What logical reason is there that indicates they can’t/won’t do the same on defense.
