Panthers use the Schwartz and they're impressed

Sometimes change can be good, especially when it means going from backup to a potential starter.

That’s one of the reasons second-year offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz is excited the Carolina Panthers are giving him a look at right guard, even though it’s a position he’s not all that familiar with.

At 6-foot-6 and 331 pounds, Schwartz’s build fits that of an offensive tackle.

“There are some teams with big guys,” Schwartz said. “It’s not common, but it’s not unheard of. If I’m able to play guard that is even better for me because it makes me more valuable.”

He's in the competition.

He was supposed to be really good coming out of college. And this offseason he should've been the #1 choice to replace Vincent. Instead they have a undrafted guard and have to bring in a backup RT as competition for the RG spot and you hear more about those 2 than Duke because evidently he hasnt been as impressive as he should be.

I hope magazu doesn't get snarch up a coordinator position or anything.

This is why year in and year out our O-Line is one of the best in the league. We have solid starters and versatile backups all due to Dave Magazu.

I think Mackensy got the nod over Robinson b/c he had been with the team one season prior and Robinson wasn't ready. I do believe Robinson is starting material but he isn't the best backup we got.

Go Panthers

If you were watching last year, Schwartz really didn't do that good of job at RT last year. He missed a lot of blocks and got a lot of help from TE's, interior linemen and backs.

He didn't implode, but he certainly didn't shine. If Jake had been back there, it would have been more disaster.

Schwartz played so well at tackle that he may have played his way out of a starting guard position... we need to hold him in reserve as backup tackle, it would be a shame to see him get hurt as the starting guard and then have one (or both) of our tackles go down again.

    • 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 
    • There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
