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.

      I'm convinced Harden wants to do nothing but put up pretty shots and try to draw fouls and then do nothing on defense lol. Brunson went off though

      what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

      Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens.

      Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.
