Rivera says we are done signing linemen.

Here's an idea to keep yourself from getting all worked up about posts you think are baseless. Put the posters on your ignore list.

 

Please include me on your lengthy list.

I don't have anyone on ignore.  Why do that unless you have so little restraint that just seeing a post  gets you upset.  Nothing is that important here to get upset or angry.  Don't project your feelings on me.

Keep convincing yourself...

I called BS and it was.  No anger or upset on my end..  On yours though, apparently plenty or you would give it up.  If you don't it just proves my point.....

 

But I won't go on and on, really nothing you have said is that important really and it is time for a sumptuous lunch.  Later....

I think the starting line right now can be respectable with Gross, Wharton, Kalil, Williams, and Bell.  Obviously Bell is going to be a liability, but he's not the worst person to ever play RT regardless of what some people think. 

 

I personally think Garry Williams has outplayed Silatolu in preseason which is disappointing since I thought Silatolu looked good down the stretch last year and was hoping for a good year from him.

 

I still wonder if they would consider putting Wharton at tackle, but coming off his injury and with age, I don't know if he could do any better than Bell

 

The issue still remains that there is zero quality depth and there is no way the Panthers aren't going to try to add O-Lineman come cut time.

 

The Panthers starting Oline ever as is will not be the worst in the league.  I just wonder is Mike Shula will be inventive enough to scheme to hide some of the deficiencies.

 

Wanting to be a power running team sounds great, but I don't know if that is feasible with this line, or even what is the best usage of Cam's skill set.

 

I don't want Cam to get hit all the time, but I also don't a redux of Jeff Davidson either

I'm re-watching the Ravens game right now and Gary Williams does not look that bad. He's staying on his blocks...Bell and Amini are having trouble.

I believe PFF backs this up too with the exception of when he whiffed at LG. Garry doesn't worry me, Amini and Bell totally do. Hell even Chris Scott has yet to worry me. Neither one of these guys are getting credit because almost no one rematches the line nor do they notice the line until they make a mistake. I would really be interested in seeing Gross / Wharton / Kalil / Scott / Williams

I know I'm late but I want to play too.

Amini was having a bad preseason. There is no way around that. Wharton will solidify that left side. Williams was having a decent preseason. Better than most folks are saying. Bell can handle most, but has trouble with speed guys. You can help him with chips and RBs, so that does not concern me.

IMO, we aren't as bad as most folks make it out to be. Especially with Wharton back. It ain't the best line around, but it is better than most are predicting.

As for the Gettlemne debate. I am quite sure Accorsi and JR talked to him before the hire. Gettlemen knew Rivera was going to be the Coach. If he wasn't going to do everything in his power to make Rivera a success, why did he take the job?

Gettlemen is all in. He has to be. He would lose all credibility if he weren't. I mean, really. Why would he take the job if he was going to half-azz it? Who would trust him? What Coach would come here if he couldn't trust him? No one would want to deal with him if he was thought of as a GM who half-azzed it?

If we continue the success from the end of last year and make the playoffs. Rivera is going to be our Coach next year. And I can live with that. I sure hope the Rivera haterz, and Gettlemen, can live with it.

    • There are a couple of options. One is just to not accept your commission and just pay back the Academy for your education. Alot of money for normal folk, but if you're drafted high enough it's a drop in the bucket. You'll need a waiver not to go in enlisted, but normally drafted players get waivers to join the reserves instead of active duty military. Showing that you can actually go to the NFL from a military academy is much better for recruitment than having one more officer on a ship/sub/aircraft. Things were different in the Staubach and David Robinson days. I remember Mike Wahle just paying back the Academy after getting kicked out for steroids after his junior year. Not a big deal when you're drafted in the 2nd round. 
    • have 10 dollars riding on the hornets to win the division to pay out 1200, my buddy has multiple bets but one would pay out close to 15k 
    • Whoever you get has to be able to shoot a 3 for spacing purposes, especially if you want to replace Miles at 4 with Moose and run a different center.    I like the Miles for Giannis trade idea but where do you put him? At center?    Can you imagine a double screen and roll/slip with with Lamelo, Giannis and Kon... 👀   If you do that trade you need another free agent / draft pick to play at 4 that can stretch the floor otherwise I don't think it works.
