There are going to be uncertainties with the offensive line this year, but with Hangartner’s versatility and veteran presence, he’s sure to play a key role again.

 

 

 

Just a friendly reminder to take what these nuckle heads say with a grain of salt.

It's easy to trash them now but what they said was right on.  That is why cutting hangman was such a surprise.  Of course the Huddle is going to act like they all saw it coming and the Observer is full of nothing but morons.    

 

Well, you didn't see many people here praising the right side of the O-Line. In fact, most saw it as a huge concern.

There is some surprise at the timing, but no fan of the Panthers should be surprised he got cut. 

 

And even more ludicrous is the idea that he was a key cog on our line.

no, what makes it a surprise is the timing. it's not the time that cuts are typically made and we haven't seen who getts is planning to bring in. most saw him as a  weak link as a starter, but an ok backup....which is the story of his career., but that was less accurate of an observation as time has gone on because he's really marginal as a backup now. 

 

most understood that he would be replaced at some point and saw the drafting of kugbila, who is better built for the RG job, esp. for a team that wants to run a lot, as the first step in replacing piggie.

 

hangartner is a likeable guy, but he was holding back progress of the OL. the only real question now is who getts has in mind to replace him for the short term. kug is the answer long term, at least that is the hope, but for this year.....i dunno.

Although the Panthers drafted Edmund Kugbila and have looked at some veterans, Geoff Hangartner still appears to be the front-runner for the starting job at right guard. Kugbila has been dealing with injuries and it seems unlikely he’ll be able to beat out Hangartner anytime soon.

 

 

You can't trash the Observer and not trash Pat Y who also published this excerpt this morning.

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      After watching Dan for 3 yrs now, I think I understand his plan. It’s a simple plan that should work for the long run.     I saw some of this last yr. Dan wants a vet and a young player at each position. I really think we go OT if one they like there. Moton is aging, Icky will not be back until 27, if ever. We need to get ahead of the tackle problem

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      You are just stressing too much about these particular positions. You want to upgrade from Bryce and I understand that but you aren’t going to really get that without getting into a bidding war for a QB2 potential QB1 like Willis. You could possibly trade for Mills or the backup for Chicago but they are still gambles and their teams will won’t decent picks.  Again the Eagles thought KP was a capable enough backup to trade for him once their backup was hurt and won a Super Bowl with him as QB2. The point is most teams aren’t rolling with some stud QB2/3 that is going to push even a bottom tier starter. They are better off the building their roster in other areas. The Rams are rolling with Bennett right now as QB2 for example.  The goal is winning absolutely. We overachieved last year even with stumbling into the playoffs. Another year and this staff needs to take the next step in building a team. Will Grier has little to no impact on that….

      Three straight first round WRs is straight up Matt Millen poo. Considering the draft capital we have tied up on Bryce after that trade we would basically have spent damn near all of our draft capital in recent years on QB and WR just to put one of the most anemic passing offenses in the league on the field. Clown show poo.
