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.

Have you been following the Panthers for long because yeah, that sounds exactly like something the Panthers would do. LOL

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.

There are a grand total of 14 OTs on NFL rosters over the age of 32.

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.

      I don't know; I think it's close for the first half and if it gets ugly it'll be in the second half.

      The thing is, I feel like last Sunday validated what I have been saying about Bryce.  And this is why I'm somewhat optimistic. He isn't a good QB, let me make that clear before the brigade storms into this thread, but the biggest difference between Bryce before last week and Bryce in the second half of last season was his lack of confidence and willingness to make plays downfield.  Last week was the first time this season he's had that "F It" mentality, the same he had when he came back last year when he just looked and played care-free (in a good way; he had a positive energy).  We need him to keep that energy the rest of the season because if he does, we can win games. It ain't always about being good.  Hell Jameis Winston isn't good (better than Bryce, but still), but he plays with such a confidence that his teams always have a chance.   If Bryce is down to be as aggressive as he was last week, I think the opportunities will be there against a weak and injured 49ers defense.

      I don't have a great feeling about this game, but after last night I have a real good feeling about our chances to win the division. I think we might actually have a fair amount of wiggle room if Baker is out for an extended period of time, especially if he misses one or both of the games against us. 9-8 could very well win the NFC South this year. Hell, depending on how long Mayfield is out I wouldn't be shocked to see 8-9 win it.
