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.

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.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
