Why do you guys hate Byron Bell so much?

This cat has been holding his own for sure because Hangartner sure hadn't helped him at all. Look at his blown protection against Suh today in this highlight. It starts at 1:31-1:34

I look at these Panthers highlights, and I see Bell pass protecting with good technique. And with his size, he is a run mauling machine waiting to happen. Rivera should move him to RG once we pick up Kalil in the draft. I can guarantee with Kalil, Wharton, Kalil, Bell, and Gross on the line, no opposing d-line will want any of that.:cool:

he enjoys grabbing defensive ends facemasks to much perhaps. fwiw i think he has a promising future at rt/rg....really like what he's shown so far, but with all the penalties he's accumulated i can see why people are down on him...i agree though, kalil/wharton/kalil/bell/gross would be a SICK line....

I don't hate him. He's great depth and he has certainly earned a roster spot.

I'm just not ready to pass on Matt Kalil because of him.

move him to rg, gross to rt and kalil at lt....problem solved. you upgrade lt, rg and rt all at once....

I never said I disagreed with that. It just seems like some people think OT isn't a need because Bell is playing decent football(still has a LOT to work on, but he's certainly not terrible).

I think OT is a need based on Gross' play at LT. The people who think OT isn't a need are just turning a blind eye to the play of our "franchise" LT. He's been dreadful this year...

We're not picking 2nd overall, which is where we'd have to be picking to get Kalil. I'd rather have Justin Blackmon anyway. Pro Bowl OT's are a lot easier to find than elite WR's.

Dude, do you even think out your thoughts before you post? Or our we just supposed to accept your opinion as fact?

We very well could be picking 2nd, and you have no idea where Kalil is going to go in the draft, even if he comes out. (He is a Junior)

There are literally dozens of quality WRs out there. But there are only a handfull of elite LTs. Why do you think most pass rushers play on the right side? Because most teams do not have an elite LT, and it is the QBs blind side. Maybe that is why quality Tackles go so high in the draft? Whereas WRs are rarely taken at the top of the draft. Unless you are the Lions. (And I am a lifetime Lions fan. But man, did that Millen character screw us.)

Com' on man.

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      By frankw · Posted

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
