Could Otah make or break Cam's rookie season?

Like others have said, when Cam has protection he looks x1000 better than when he doesn't have any, Otah would make a huge difference to giving Cam more time in the pocket. I can't wait to see what Cam can do with the mammoth Otah on the right side, I think he will look much better and when he gets in a good mix of throwing to the tight ends and WRs, it seemed like the first two games he was obsessed with finding the TEs but last game he was only looking for the WRs, maybe that was the plan, though. I kinda flipped Thursday but I've calmed down now, Cam should start week 1...let him get his feet wet.

I'm so sick of people acting as if Otah is the answer to all our ills. Otah alone will not improve the line. He is just one man on one end. There are four guys to his left that have to play at a high level. Stop putting Otah on such a high shelf. And this line is not one of the best. Don't let Stew's and D-Lo's two amazing seasons trick you. That was a while ago with different men and a different fullback opening holes up for them. This line is average, and if Otah gets back it will still be average. Get used to the truth.

I'm just as worried about that RG spot as I am RT. Big Mac was getting pushed straight into the backfield all night thursday. Schwartz seems legitimately injured. If he can't get on the field, Cam is gonna be in trouble anyways. The line is only as strong as its weakest link

I would not be hitching any hopes on Otah.

Even on the miracle that he does start, I'd be willing to bet he plays 8 games max this year before he falls like a tall timber again.

Otah has proven he has durability issues and the Panthers are incredibly stupid for not signing a McKenzie or someone who has some ability on that right side as a stop gap.

the o-line has done nothing but regressed since 2008.

He needs to get back fast. RG is already the weak link in the OL, and Garry Williams just isn't good enough to pick up the slack for him.

Getting Otah back will work wonders.

Hasn't Schwartz been hurt as well? He was a starter, correct?

It's a shame Ziemba has been hurt. Would have been nice to see what he's got this preseason with Otah out.

25 games in 3 years. And if he misses another season when do you say that's enough of wasting a roster spot?

Hurney got raped again on a draft day trade giving up 1st, 2nd and 4th round picks for the right to select Otah.

No way he admits another draft day failure and cuts Otah.

See Everett (the spin doctor) Brown.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
