If we're as concerned about that knee as rumors made it out then I would've definitely wanted to see how it held up this year before giving him a bunch of new money.

I mean, there were retirement rumors this off-season due to that knee.

Keyword rumor. Do you think they were concerned his knee was at retirement levels and then decided to give him 40M anyways?

Moton has looked as consistent as a RT could look for years now. When you perform and you are a good locker room guy you get paid. That is it no more. He hasn't even started to show decline. He hasn't had issues missing games or shown drop off in mobility with the knee yet. You fellas are gonna need some therapy for that Hurney PTSD.

Typical Panthers move

Moton is aging, has a knee with issues and the NFL is unforgiving to that situation 

why tie the money up in that  situation?

thought they were done with that model and or ‘kicking the  can down the road’ with restructures 

morgan is from the fitterer school of gm'ing.  He talks the talk but doesnt walk the walk.   This is about as insane as giving cmac that huge deal after year 3.   It is 100% completely unnecessary.

I don't know how anybody can be upset with this. He's been our most consistent OL starter for years. 

I'm all for paying the OL. I don't remember where I saw it, but Robert Hunt was talking about this is the first time he's ever had the full o-line come back from the prior year. This is huge for continuity. 

IDK about upset. It's a little perplexing given that the rumors are his knees aren't in great shape. One has to assume the team knows different. Especially for that chunk o cash.

If he's healthy, glad to have him back.

Andrew Whitworth's last contract with the Rams was a three-year deal signed on March 18, 2020, worth $30 million with up to $37.5 million available, which made it the highest-paying contract for a non-quarterback over 35 in NFL history at the time. This deal kept the veteran left tackle with Los Angeles for his final seasons before his eventual retirement.

 

Read it and weep. I swear sometimes you want the sky to fall so bad so you can say typical Panthers, we are the only ones to ever do this or that, you forget obvious examples illustrating the obtuse nature of your statements!

Yall are a trip, 

 

Offensive tackles aren't ancient at 31, in fact a 2 year deal for a 31 year old tackle its perfect lol.

 

Dude is still a top third tackle.

I think the confusion revolves around the rumors his knees were in bad shape. If that IS the case, this is a bad idea because he very well could be close to the end of his career.

If that is all BS and he isn't having chronic issues, it's great to have our best OL since Kalil retired back.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
