Has been getting a free pass in my eyes and has been a liability in pass blocking lately, a lot lately. Maybe he can move to the other side or something but he's getting beat like a drum.

Everybody is playing for their job and Jordan Gross is not doing well. Is he someone who needs to fear their job next season? Cam has been taking tooo many blindside hits and #69 is usually on his ars in the background, or another holding penalty.

Jordan, play like you want it!!

kick him to RT, take a LT high in the draft.

people seem to forget that this line was built under fox to run block. he was ok with having guys whose pass-blocking skills weren't wonderful because it wasn't their primary job. the chudz offense is going to require new skillsets along with that new passing philosophy.

He's actually been quite good this year, and he was going up against the best defensive line we will face all year. The problems on this line start with Bell, who forces poor blocking schemes to make up for his deficiencies in pass blocking.

What does this have anything to do with Bell who's on the right side? Gross got beat too many times, and he's been good? So allowing shots to his qb and being blindsided is good? My goodness. And btw, Bell did pretty damn good today.

Gross has more false starts than holding penaties. 4-3. (And 1 of his holding penaties was phanthom.) And usually plays against the opponents best pass rusher. Yet he is trash? I do not think so.

I do think that Bell is improving. But to me, he would be better suited at RG. He is a mauler, not a technician. Draft Kalil for RT, move Bell inside, and we are golden.

But I have no idea for what I speak!? I just like to spew my opinion.

Bell is scary good. He may be good, but he scares me. If he does not scare you, you are not paying attention.

Bell forced protection to be rolled to his side, and with the Detroit interior being so good it left Gross on an island today against a very good pass rusher. It wasn't a good game for him but to put anything on him for this season is ridiculous.

Bell is one of the worst RTs this season, and he's been a problem all year long. He is okay in run blocking. It in pass protection he just can't keep up with anyone resembling something fast.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      I still think another QB is brought in Day 3. Grier is camp body level at this point.

      We’re in a pickle. My best hope is we protect him and can run the ball vs most Ds and the WRs are healthy so he has every chance to not look like what he looked like in too many games last year.

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.
