Definitely agree that losing Kalil really hurt him. If he could've been sandwiched between two solid vets in Gross and Kalil, he would've looked a lot better. I'm not surprised he struggled as a rookie. The jump from college to the NFL is a big one and the jump from D2 to the NFL is a huge one. He has a lot of developing to do in terms of technique. Like a lot of small school guys, he was accustomed to just physically overwhelming his competition at the college level. I look for him to be a lot better this year knowing what he's getting into, working on his technique in the offseason, and getting Kalil back.

Only time will tell if he was worth the high pick. However, I think the Panthers picked him in thinking he would slide over to LT once Gross is gone.

No. I don't think so. Virtually everyone was projecting Silatolu as an OG at the NFL level. I didn't hear anyone talking about him projecting as an OT, much less a LT.

All the team as to figure out is what to do at RG this season and what to do at LT after Gross retires.

I just hope we do a better job of finding Gross' replacement and have a smoother transition at LT than we have had at kicker. Anytime a franchise loses a long-time starter, especially guys as reliable as Gross and Kasay, it's not an easy transition once that guy is gone.

Yea, he's definitely not an NFL LT. He is fine where he is at.

I would also like to add, I love how he fought through his early season struggles, and was playing rather well towards the end of the year. To me, that shows a good deal of tenacity. Gotta love that out of the kid. .If he can continue to take strides. We should be set for the foreseeable future.

      Injury report

      By CRA · Posted

      Immediately cast blame? We had been talking about the bad throws to Hunter (the missed TDs and hospital ball) for days leading up to that injury report.   And yeah, the rib injury then becomes something to point out.  and you are getting desperate with this projected extremism.  No one  said you should never throw seams.  I shared with you an article after you scoffed at seams being routes you can get hung out to dry on….and it was the best of the best talking about the dangers of those routes.   And they talked about it because they threw them a lot and there dudes were at risk so the throws really matter.  Because you can hurt your receivers.  we disagree, cool.  I got a pro Bryce former NFL QB calling it a hospital ball and bad throw.  So I got a plus +1 making my argument.  Find a QB that backs your take.

      You exclusively highlighted Hunter's name on the injury report and then immediately cast blame. I've pointed out that this wasn't the hospital ball you claim it to be while also acknowledging that there could have been another option to target instead of Renfrow. By everything you've expressed here, you don't think seam routes should ever be thrown. I don't know how that helps the already struggling offense, but I do know that it would make it even worse than it already is. Scapegoating never has and never will solve anything. Tell you what: Try not blaming Bryce or casting shade his way for the entire week after Arizona and instead look at the other 21 starters and assess what they're doing (again, without shading Bryce). I'll join you and refrain from exploring what the rest of the team is doing and will focus solely on what Bryce needs to do better. Deal? This is a sincere peace offering to allow us to explore the other's perspective and perhaps be even more informed football fans.

      The Panthers’ Bryce Young Problem is Getting Old

      By CRA · Posted

      TMac PI throw was a TD too.  Bryce just drastically under threw it.  Renfrow and TMac set themselves up to BOTH have great days.   the story of last of no one was open…..isn’t a defense the Bryce Young defenders can use so far this year
