I know it's probably too early to tell, but as we move into minicamp, training camp, preseason and then the season, I thought it'd be good to discuss and gage people's sentiment on who's going to win the starting jobs at LG and RT.

You could take it as who is going to take 1st string reps going into TC or as who will end up winning the job come the season, either way.

Also, I'm assuming here that Gross, Kalil and Hangartner will be our starting LT, C and RG, respectively. Is that safe to assume?

My money's on Silatolu and Otah, personally.

29 votes for Silatolu and none for Pollak?!

Just to play devil's advocate, Pollak was a part of some very successful offensive lines in Indy. Plus one of the knocks on Silatolu was that his bad grades kept him out of D1 and in Midwestern State. Can someone who struggled academically in college pick up the Chud's playbook that everyone is saying is very complex and going to change every week?

I think Amini will be great, but I wouldn't be surprised if the vet gets the start.

    • The panthers offense right now is spiritually the same as the 2010s Seahawks. They want to keep it close until the fourth quarter and then try to pull a rabbit out of their hat. instead of running marshawn into the line 30 times a game, we’re throwing 20 passes behind the line of scrimmage. And instead of Russell Wilson bullshit, we’re getting 20 yard drives to set up a 55 yard field goal. Also that team had multiple hall of famers and we’ve got the worst qb in the league by whatever collections of metrics you want to use
    • So if Bryce could have come to Carolina with the same advantages he had every year at Alabama he would have been successful. Good coaches. Top recruiting classes far better than the opposition. Defense able to bail him out if he has a bad game.  Still doesnt change anything regarding footwork, mechanics, drop backs, reading the field, poor placement or any of the other myriad of issues that are still present in year 3.  Bryce wasn't ready to be the day 1 starter. There's nothing wrong with that. Dalton was clearly the more capable QB, as evidenced by what happened in Seattle in the rain, under extreme pressure. Same players, same coach, same terrible offensive line. Two different offenses.  When you look at Bryce and what he's done in game over the course of 3 years it's not pretty. He has moments of good, but there's been a lot more WTF. But saying Bryce would have been able to lead a team to the playoffs? Based on what we saw from him, he probably would have spent a good bit of year one on the bench holding a clipboard. 
    • Feels on brand for Mike Brown.  He's very anti trade.
