Kalil thinks Gross should be a pro bowler

Pat Yasinskas, of ESPN.com, reports C Ryan Kalil said he believes OT Jordan Gross should go to the Pro Bowl this season. "It starts with Jordan Gross," Kalil said. "He's been living up to his franchise tag. He's been doing a great job so far. He really needs to go to a Pro Bowl. If he doesn't go to the Pro Bowl this year, the system is flawed because he is a monster out there."

Every unit seems extremely tight knit this year. I saw an article at work written a day before thanksgiving, with different players and what they were Thankful for. Jarrett said he was thankful to be a Carolina Panthers and talked about how thankful he was for ALL his team mates. Maybe he actually does understand Smith being so hard on him was only because the potential he see is him

A great line isn't always full of "stars", they usually are more than the sum of their parts. The best OLs are the ones that stay healthy and intact player wise for awhile (ie Colts until this year, NYG, etc). The key thing this year is that the backups have been filling in very nicely.

Gross is having his best year as a pro. And surprise surprise, it's at the LT position, which many, including myself, thought he could never be the LT that we need. Seems to me he is doing better than anybody else we've had at the position. Not only that, but he's a leader, and remains healthy.

Pay the man.

    • I'll say 6. I don't know that we learned a whole lot about this team during preseason that we didn't already know. We didn't play the starters enough to really get a feel for what to expect. We had one good drive against the Browns, one 3-and-out and two 3-and-outs against the Texans. That's an extremely small sample size across 3 games regardless of performance. My camp/preseason takeaways: Jalen Coker might be the best WR on this team and is certainly no worse than #2. Nic Scourton is going to be a good player for us. Possibly very good. Bobby Brown was our best free agent addition and will do more to help the defense than anyone. Jack Plummer isn't an NFL QB. Not even a practice squad guy. Having anyone other than Canales and Evero call plays was a really stupid and pointless idea. Our depth is largely non-existent, especially on defense. The three areas we actually DO have depth are on the OL, in the WR corp. and at RB. I can't fathom why Dan Morgan didn't do more to upgrade ILB during the offseason. We better hope Lathan Ransom steps up at FS because if he doesn't we have a massive hole there. For all the hype surrounding Sanders and Evans, Tommy Tremble is still the best TE on the roster. I'm only slightly less enthusiastic going into the regular season than I was a month ago. I think our starters on offense are solid and we should be pretty good there unless Bryce totally regresses. On defense, we're probably bottom 3rd in the league if 100% healthy and significantly worse than that if injuries become an issue. We badly need at least two of our rookies to become high-level players early (ideally one of the pass rushers + Ransom) and at least 2 of our free agent additions (ideally Moehrig + Bobby Brown) to be significant upgrades over last year. Call me pessimistically optimistic 😆
    • 2010 was worse. Not much worse but worse. 
    • Lol since 2017 the Panthers are 47-85,    Also since 2017 the Giants are 40-91-1   Lol
