Travelle Wharton

Do the rest of you guys love him as much as I do? We are all sitting here and complaining about the RG spot(and rightfully so) but this man is solid and underrated IMO over at LG. Team Leader. We all love Smitty, DeAngelo, Olsen, and Stewart(our proven stars) but these are the kinds of consistent and capable players we should be thankful for and praise more often!

I'll always remember when Stew broke off that big run (against GB I believe) and ran out of gas near the endzone. A defender caught him from behind and stripped the ball loose. Wharton jumped on it for the recovery, like 60 yards away from the LOS. That's some hustle for a big ugly.

But all in all, I'm very very glad we have him on our squad. Above average? Yes. At times dominate? Yes. Overpaid? Maybe, but I'd rather overpay for a solid LG than underpay for what ever we have at RG right now.

You know, I almost put something about that Green Bay play in my original post. I remember the announcers sucking him off about that play.

So I guess if you were Travelle you would have said "Naaaa Marty, just write me down for a cool mill and that'll be good."

Please.

You can only hold someone's pay against them if he isn't performing. That is not the case here. He may be a little overpaid, but by underrated I meant no one other than Panther fans and analysts really know who he is.

No, not really. He's a barely above average guard that's overpaid.

Cool. Let's cut him and throw in a shitty LG and see how far that gets us.

Some teams would kill to get a "barely above average" LG.

    • It's worth noting that we started playing something that looked like football after going down 17-0 against the Dolphins.  Up to that point we had rushed the ball 3 times and Bryce had two turnovers.   Then we ran it 5 straight times with Rico and he started cracking off some big gains and led to our first touchdown.  Another 37 yards of rushing later, Bryce goes 1 yard complete, incomplete, incomplete to get that field goal before halftime.  Then we committed big time to the run in the second half and played some really nice complimentary football.  The Panthers had stumbled on a formula, and it started with Rico being crazy productive.  Something they only learned because Chubba was injured and Bryce started that game so poorly they were forced to lean on Rico. Fast foward to Dallas, they essentially lean into the same game plan against the Cowboys and I think everyone was surprised by how quickly it started to look complimentary.  In my opinion the productive offense really helped the defense as well.  We played quite solid against a top offense. Finally we make our way to the Jets and Bills, Chubba's return.  You can't say the low scoring affair and return to ineffective football against the Jets was all on Chubba, they were indeed a better defense and so was Buffalo.  But the production difference between the two backs in both games was both visually and statistically obvious.  The bigger picture is the offense took a major step back as well.  They are other moving parts and it's isn't all one thing, BY9>Dalton by a decent margin at this point.   But yeah, Rico's vision and athleticism is just better than Chubba and it jumps at you.
    • First day in 3 weeks my pain started to dwindle just a tiny bit.  Got switched from hydrocodone to post-shingles pain patches.  My insurance refused to pay for my patches as I’m too young for shingles per them.  I also need a prescription to get shingles shot and insurance also won’t pay for it even thought I just had shingles and in high risk to get it again.
