What can be done about o-line?

The problem is.. it's not 1 offensive lineman.  Bell, Williams, Silatolu..hell even Kalil is messing up. Gross is the only one playing well.  We are not blocking well on the run or pass.  Maybe it's coaching.  I'm not sure.  But you can't even blame 1 player.

Entire left side is backup talent...and Kalil is coming off a year of IR

You reap what you sow, expecting an undrafted player ( Gary Williams), 7th round pick (Bryon Bell) , and a DIV II prospect (Silatolu) to come in and solidify your offensive line is unrealistic. Look at the 49ers, the majority of their offensive linemen were first round picks. Panthers have to draft at least 2 offensive linemen in the 2014 draft.

    • No one way to do it, it does appear that with the bigger draft picks of the last 5 years…..majority haven’t steered clear of young QBs on the roster being their hopeful guy. Especially past their rookie seasons but even some the biggest ones have had it early.   As far as Andy Dalton, the two young guys he has “mentored”…..have had very rough NFL starts.  Which really ask the why the heck is Dalton here.   He doesn’t really check any box.  No young potential.  Can’t step in and win.  And his mentor track record with Fields and now Bryce is bad 
    • I had thought the Panthers might let him play out his contract this year and hope he stays healthy. If not draft a left tackle and move Ekwonu to right tackle. 
    • Frankly, if most teams in the NFL lose their starting QB for a significant amount of time, they're screwed. The fantasy is that one has a future Tony Romo or a Nick Foles that can carry a stacked team. The reality is that you might get roughly 3~5 games out of your backup before it all falls apart. Remember all of Peyton Manning's backups? Utterly terrible. Speaking of backup QB's, Raiders may need one. https://www.nfl.com/news/raiders-qb-aidan-o-connell-suffered-fractured-wrist-in-preseason-finale-expected-to-be-out-6-8-weeks
