The knee stuff is a bit overblown. He was talking about normal issues you have as a lineman.

 

You carry a ton of extra weight and explode out of stance (counting practices and camps) probably a few thousand times each season. 

 

They freaking are shot to hell after a few years and it's just pain management for the rest of your life. 

 

We are talking about 120-150 extra lb of pressure on your knees, ankles and feet combined with using and putting explosive force on them constantly and consistently every week. 

 

Mine still haven't recovered from highschool and I'm 41. Lmfao

You know who says their chronic knee issues are magically resolved? Someone currently in negotiations for $40M+ in new money.

You know whose chronic knee issues don't magically resolve? 30+ year old 300+ football players.

Its a two year extension you guys are a trip. Why would he say both in the same conversation? Lol he clearly overspoke 

Taylor is not a DR. Chronic is a very bland term, meaning repetitive it also doesn't mean pain/discomfort or inability.

I'm old enough to remember when the Huddle turned it's nose up to Andrew Whitworth for being too old. 

We passed and he went to the Rams and played at a Pro Bowl level until his late 30s.

The front office has far more insight into Moton's health than anyone here. 

I'm happy we are keeping this group together

I doubt they're serious. But if they're chronic they're worsening and it caused him to miss games last year while having his workload carefully managed. If we were trying to squeeze a couple more years out of a SB window I would better understand it but that's the opposite of our current situation. IMO, this was clearly a situation where you let the guy play out this season and see how it goes. You always have the option of the franchise tag in your back pocket if need be.

That's sort of what I mean. If this is a situation that this is likely to continue to degrade pretty steadily, I would call that serious. 

I am curious if we end up with the highest price tag OL in 2026 now.

The man literally missed games last year and had to have his workload carefully managed. Why? Because of pain/discomfort and inability. A lot of chronic knee issues come down to pain management. No doctor can tell you how it's going to go. If they do they're lying to you. We know how it went last year.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
