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.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
