errr not to ruin the "down with the Panthers" parade, but Bell hasn't played bad by any standard. He's not All-Pro, but for an un-drafted rookie, he has done a superb job.

Guess you missed where he got another drive killing penalty today. 15 yards hands to the face. I was at the game so I wasn't able to see how many times he got torched resulting in newton sacks but I'm sure it was a lot.

He's playing b/c we have no one else.

For an UDFA he's doing awesome. We need better play out of him, but he wasn't even in a large college & to come in & do what he's done is great. I hope he progresses to where he could be a starter, but with time he will be at worst a great backup.

It's easy to get frustrated with Byron with these penalties but I try to maintain the perspective here. It'd be one thing if we were a very well-disciplined team and he was the only one not catching on. The whole team is making stupid penalties, including ones today on 67 and 69. Byron's got to step his game up but so does everyone else and he doesn't deserve to be singled out.

It doesn't matter if he was undrafted or a first round. I've been saying since he first started that he is clearly the weakest link in the o-line and he's been affecting the play calling due to his poor play.

The fact that he was undrafted doesn't matter. What's next? Are we going to praise a new guy because he is pretty good for a middle school player?

Good point.

      An Explication of the Offense

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Good write up OP..... I may be the outlier here but I like our WR sans XL. Metchie is sneaky good and just like Dowdle last year he WILL BE the biggest under the radar singing of this year FA moves. I am warming up to the idea of Sadiq at 19 over defense. I'm just ready for every BY excuse to be gone, he doesn't have this or that. No he just sucks and we need to move on. Honestly I've said it before but this team has been depleted of so much talent over the years we really could go BPA and be fine. In DM I trust..........for now

      He's not Cam brother. Disrespectful to Cam at this point to keep mentioning them together. That's just my opinion. We all agree we need the young guys to step up. They have to varying degrees. But they're still learning. Especially the rookies. Guys like Miller and Moose need to take another step and we hope they will get there. Both need to add some bulk in the offseason. Kalk too. We can give them a little grace though. We extended the same courtesy to LaMelo in his earlier years. Many excuses were afforded to him. I agree completely that we need to see both offensive evolution and development under Lee. I feel like the team in some aspects has taken a step back at times under his watch. That can't continue. I hope it all comes together. We'll see. But that clock is ticking and there should be NO excuses after this upcoming season. No more embarrassment please.
