Otah didn't play like a rookie O-lineman, nor did Maurkice Pouncey, Joe Thomas or Ryan Clady.

Bell being an UDFA, played as good as any Rookie player youd think should play like. Had a better season last year than a Tyron Smith or Gabe Carimi. And looked better than Jonathan Martin, a 2012 high prospect and 2nd Rounder.

LOL he did not play better than Tyron smith, and carimi only played a couple games before hitting IR

Actually he did get a penalty when he was in with the 2nd unit.

How does anyone know what player is charged with what? These refs call "Holding on 'White' or Tackle or Guard, etc., etc. Not only the Panthers games, but it's freaking ridiculous how some of them designate who committed the penalty.

I'm not for getting the regular refs back or not, just saying.

They specifically called Bell for the false start, by number.

I was being facieous, not disputing your point. My comment was more about these replacement refs & how they call things. The Panthers game have actually been called better than most.

One thing noteworthy about Bell so far is that he has done a much better job of keeping his pads level and his block within his frame. Very nice improvement over the offseason.

In fact, Hangartner seemed to be the weakest link out there yesterday.

Although the OL played well, I have to agree that Hangartner appears to be the weak link. He got run over on the pass play to Olsen when Newton got tagged by Soliali (sp?). The RG spot will definitely need to be addressed in the near future. It also appears that overall our OL is not getting enough push on the LOS but they did a great job on the goal line TD by Stewart.

Yeah that's an insane statement.

I'd love to have Smith on our O-line, he's light years ahead of Bell.

I think Campbell, with a little more seasoning, will do well at LT when Gross steps down (or is moved to RT). Bell is solid, but he'll always be fighting to keep his starting job in the NFL.

Campbell is not our long-term LT option he's depth. That's it. We'll likely draft one in the next two drafts.

Still wish they would experiment win Bell at RG and Campbell at RT.

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      By Panthero · Posted

      Given that the immediate impact we need at edge. We almost certainly address that in Free agency, not in the draft. Same with Linebacker, unless Styles or Allen is still there at 19. I think the same for OT.  What is the position that we could draft in the 1st round and get immediate help in the first is how im approaching their decision-making  I know ill get dragged for this, but im thinking they go DT in the first. A guy that can play right away and be a complement to D.Brown to wreak havoc at the LOS.   So unless a top tier LB is there, I think DT will be the move.

      Cam Newton & Steve Smith Sr. break the silence after 10 years

      By ok2h8pep · Posted

      I think people forget that by his last season Steve Smith had the ass and he played like it - and for no really good reason other than that other stars were emerging on the team and he didn't want to share the spot light.  He was more of a locker room distraction than he was worth. He went on to have great performances with the Ravens' but G-man made the right move allowing him to move on from here.  I personally think it was addition by subtraction and we don't have a super bowl run with Smith on the roster. Steve Smith remains a narcissist who I've never seen internalize his own culpability when it comes to his relationships with others - it's always somebody else's fault as to why he was forced to act like an asshole. This video is a product ad.  I'm cringed that either of these two Panther greats are party to it.

      I think the ‘issue’ here is that we had two guys that clashed for several reasons. In some ways they were different, but in other ways they had a lot in common, and sadly they couldn’t see the forest for the trees. Sometimes when you have two people like that together they are either going to love or hate each other, and if it’s the latter, you need someone to mediate and hope the two individuals are capable of putting their differences aside for the common good. In this instance, they couldn’t find a way to move forwards together because I don’t think either guy wanted to play second fiddle to the other. This video basically said neither guy had the tools to bridge that gap and mend that fence, and perhaps also were unwilling to give an inch at that stage in their lives and careers. So a divorce, while unfortunate, was always likely. Do we win the Super Bowl with Smitty and Cam? Well, it’s one of life’s big what ifs for us Panthers fans.
