Rivera: not much difference between Otah & Bell

lol. This team has adored Byron Bell since prior to the draft.

Lol at you guys who still can't grasp we won't be drafting Matt kalil next year BECAUSE of Byron Bell. Say it with me.

Byron Bell will keep the Panthers from pursuing a big name offensive tackle. He has played extremely well, and even though I didn't know that because I don't pay attention, I will refrain from making ill informed responses about the topic because it has become clear to me that Byron Bell will keep the Panthers from pursuing a big name offensive tackle. He has played extremely well, and even though I didn't know that because I don't pay attention, I will refrain from making ill informed responses about the topic because it has become clear to me that..Repeat.

Don't post again about our offensive tackles until you have come to grips with this.

I almost made a thread on Bell after the Aints game. He was playing the pass rush much better than Otah. I will re-watch the game to pay attention to the run blocking, but don't hate on Bell, b/c once he gets recognition for his play it's too late to jump on the bandwagon. I actually feel more comfortable with Bell in their against the pass rush than Otah, even this early in his career. More to come at some point on his run blocking in comparision to Otah. Oh yeah, & he's hasn't been hurt all of the time either. We need someone we can count on.

    • This fan base and being cool with mediocrity is infuriating. Making excuses for billionaires who had no business imploding a franchise and making us the Browns of the South.  Good on you man being a glass half full kind of person, I am not. I have zero faith in Tepper "evolving" and quoting Morgan in saying they been easy to work with is not any evidence of that actually happening. I'm sure if I go back and watch Fitt, Rhule and Reich pressers they said the same b.s. towing the line jargon to appease their boss. Stuff like, O they've been great, such great collaboration or some crap. Give me wins that is the ONLY analysis I need to judge are clown of an owner.....  
    • You're equating wins with evolving, but It's a little more complex than that. This will be the new managment's third season. It will also be the third season where the Teppers have taken a step back. If you think that the only way to measure improvements due to seeming changes for the better is wins and losses after only two years--one being a playoff berth, "limping" in there or not, then perhaps you're being more emotional. By most analysts' measure, Dan Morgan has the Panthers moving in the right direction. He can only get us to where we need to be with the blessing and cooperation from the owners. He has said several times now, that they are easy to work with. Rhule, Reich and Fitterer did not say that. In fact, you could literally see the pressure put upon them by their countenance.  Bottom line: it has been reported that they have changed and everything that we've seen (and not seen) is indicative of that belief. We were a playoff team, and we had a good showing. With the moves that have been made this offseason, and last offseason to be honest, NFL types are expecting the Panthers to compete for the division the upcoming season, and that's even before the draft. This is all with a QB that is still a question mark.  Rome wasn't built in a day. David Tepper has seemed to internalize that, and now many fans need to appreciate the same. It could be argued that we didn't have any business winning the games we did in '24 or '25, much less make the playoffs this past season. A positive transition appears to be afoot. We are close to becoming a perennial contender, and that's thanks to a developing culture change that is being allowed to happen. This was not the case when the Teppers, particularly David, were fumbling around trying to figure out how to run an NFL franchise.   
    • Dude is a beast on ST. I like the emphasis on special teams with him and Simmons.
