Continuity on the O-Line, I must be Dreaming!

I cant remember since Fox has been here where we have had continuity on the O-Line for 2 seasons. It took 6-7 years but he finally got it. Now lets get Hangman signed and we can go into next year without worry on the O-line and we can focus on revamping the D-Line the whole offseason...

Gross, Wharton, Kalil, Vincent, Otah....What a crew!

( Vincent can be replaced with Hangman..)

how can you celebrate continuity on the line and in the same post say that vincent can be replaced? Vincent was huge in the performance of our line this year.

Took this long to get a crew together that was worth keeping!!!

Vincent played well for us, which is why I feel bad for him and his injury, as it means we'll probably have to find a replacement, or damn good insurance for him.

Unfortunately, I think you may be right about Vincent. I believe Hartwig had a similar injury and it took him a couple of seasons to get back into form.

Hartwig was never in form. He's still not any good. Maybe it was the injury, maybe not. I'm just not ready to write vincent off.

I dont know how you can compare Vincent and Hangman in terms of being locker room guy? They both arent leaders of the team, nor are they the best players on our line, they are actually probably the worst of all the starters. But i wouldnt blink if Hangartner replaced him. Ive seen for the past 2 seasons Geoff come into the game, whether at guard or center and step right in with no dropoff in production whatsoever.

I like Vincent, but he's easily the most replaceable guy on our line, especially when we might have to give some money to versatile, team player Hangartner who is a Fox kind of guy who can play multiple positions on the line. Keeping Geoff or Vincent still keeps continuity on the line...

The point is that groin injuries can take a long time to heal and longer for the player to be back to 100%. In other words, they can't count on Vincent being ready for the opener.

Reminder: This is Vincent's 2nd groin injury. I'm not writing him off, but that's why we got him so cheap to begin with. He was signed by a team and not fully ready to start during the year it took him to recover from his last one. Just sayin. Precautions need to be taken there.

Didn't we go into the year that Wharton hurt his knee with a repeat lineup? Problem was the lineup sucked donkey balls with Hartwig and Wahle IIRC. Meh, I could be wrong.

And Vincent is a much better run blocker than Hangartner. In a backup situation Hangartner usually does well becuase he uses his brains to compensate for his limited ability. IMO Vincent is starter quality, Hangartner is not. Bridges is also a much better physical blocker than Hangartner. If he would ever get his mind right, he could start, too, but judging form his repeated actions off the field, I don't think he ever will.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      I would say that seems like an odd comment from Morgan, but at the same time it's almost impossible to find a college QB declaring for the draft to have less physical ability than BY so you can assume almost anyone you bring in would be your go to QB sneak/designed run guy.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
