Offensive line play is boosted by continuity the more they play together the better it gets.

Sure but it's mostly boosted by having good players on it.

That said, I think it's kind of a wash between these two guys.  It makes sense to burn the low durability guy first, rather than to keep him up your sleeve as a last resort.  I'd rather have my backup not be coming off of 3 season ending injuries.  But if Corbett can keep it together the whole year, then that's great.

Might just see the team go into the season with only 9 on the OL (Icky, DLew, Corbett, Hunt, TMo, BC, Zavala, Mays, Nijman) and then target OT early in the draft if it looks like TMo is done in Carolina after this season.

Still would like to see the team draft a center in the upcoming draft... decent looking class heading into the college season. 😮

Well, NFL Trade Rumors could be wrong, I don't know. Maybe they're referring to a different list or something. That aside, he's still middling (but I guess some players have to be).

Different snap count requirements i belive that one was out of 35! Thanks

Ummm okay. I guess? We will see. I think both are good players when healthy.

I didn't post those screenshots. You did.

AND the screen shot i posted had a data size of 64 players who took snaps... hence why I'm trying to understand how you are calling him bad for being 19th and saying there are 32 starters (obviously) the data set is out of 64 players however putting him top 3rd. Not "below average" as you claimed.

Then post the starters and prove that to be incorrect. It's your dataset.

You could argue it's smarter to start Corbett on opening day, because Mays will have to relieve him at some point.  If you start Mays, and then he gets hurt, Corbett could very well come in and leave on a stretcher the same week in relief.

At least if you get Corbett's availability out of the way first, it becomes a known variable.  And Mays is rested and ready to finish the campaign.

this is true and hilarious at the same time

Well then go dig through it and post the rankings for starters, bub. 

You can't post the data, then start crying when people use it the way it is posted.

 

Ummm you didn't unless your really bad at fraction conversation....

The below average comment shows you also dont know how PFF rankings are scaled 60 is an Average Starter.

    • I'm OK with it. I think it's a little high considering his injury history and weight issues, but Coker seems to be a solid kid that has an understanding of what it takes to be a pro, and I believe that they believe that he did enough last season to show that he's ready to be a consistent force within the offense. Let's go, Coker, be all that everyone, including yourself, knows that you can be!
    • https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/onsi/xavier-legette-s-offseason-focus-could-help-unlock-panthers-wr I am going to be totally honest here: If I had to bet Xavier Legette would pass or fail--well, maybe catch on or drop (pun obviously intended), my money--err, pie in Zod's coming Huddle wagering system😅), I would pick the latter based upon what I've seen the last couple of years. But, like the writer, Preston Palm✋🏽, says, I'm going to be optimistic. Why not? It's the time of year for it, and I've told y'all before that through my fully grown skepticism, I haven't completely given up on X. I'm rooting for the kid.  X knows he can't have another year like the last, he said it himself: "My main thing is just to have a better year. I can't have another year like last year, I can't do that." He knows what's on the line. He's not dumb, however much some of you want to equate being country, or, more specifically, "talking country," with being dumb (which is kind of dumb in itself, but I digress...). X knows what's on the line, very clearly. As such, he has made some changes according to Palm ✋🏽, "Legette has looked noticeably thinner at minicamp this year and has reportedly dropped 7-9 pounds, which should alleviate some pressure on his hamstrings and not force as much impact on them every route he runs." You see, part of X's problem the last couple of seasons were his hamstrings, and now, he's focused on "bulletproofing" his hammies.  But of course X's journey hasn't just been about physical misfortunes and injuries, he knows that he hasn't displayed the best football, so he's embracing the pressure to perform, and likens it to what he did at USC (the southern version *sarcasm present*) during his time there. He exploded on the scene during his senior year, so hopefully he'll do something similar in year three of the NFL. Though we've recently seen some receivers breakout sooner, many receiver still don't break out until their third season due to the complexity of NFL route trees and such. I've never been an X hater, but I'm a realist. Still, I'm looking for X to make the jump. That would be the best for all involved.  
    • Tort is a fuging asshole. But, I love that he will keep starting Hart.
