No doubt it's our biggest need right now.

 

 

Biggest need in general? Maybe. Biggest need to fill through draft? No. You can find serviceable RT's in free agency. While this is a band aid strategy. CB and WR are harder to fill. You have to draft quality talent at those positions. We've put off both positions for far too long. 

 

That being said, I won't be upset with drafting an OT, but I think our team would be better suited drafting CB or WR in the first round. 

 

For further consideration. If Gross retires, OT screams up to the top of our top offseason needs.

I'm on the Marqise Lee/Sammy Watkins or LT band wagon. Barring some miraculous run to the playoffs by Rivera I hope we're in position to get one of those impact players and yes, the Left Tackles in this Draft can be impact players....

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      Small Market? That would be Green Bay Market smaller than Charlotte? Then you're talking Kansas City, Baltimore, New Orleans, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh... Folks need to stop using "small market" when referring to the Panthers. It's not true when referring just to Charlotte.  It's definitely not true when combining Charlotte with additional coverage areas like Greenville/Spartanburg/Asheville or Greensboro/High Point/Winston Salem

      Or just don't be an ass and hang out in the left lane. Just use common courtesy. The people who tailgate and be an ass are no better and its not a surprise that a lot of road rage incidents occur when inconsiderate people and assholes cross paths. Just make an effort not to be either. "Not allowing the bully to bully you" is also being an inconsiderate ass to the people behind the "bully" who would also like you to GTFO of the left lane.

      It was completely disgusting and the most obvious fix I’ve ever witnessed. Deflating. It’s probably gone on for decades but high def TV has truly outed the egregious ‘officiating’. When was the last time a small market team was allowed to win a SB?  Offensive holding is it, and it’s so predictable. 2nd and 7 turns in to 2nd and 17. Defense pins their ears back, covers the slot guy and TE roaming the middle, and watches for the WR/RB screen. D line needs to maintain gap integrity. The deep shot to the WR down the sideline is a low percentage play so no real worry there. Most average O lines won’t be able to convert.  Loser getting too close to FG range in a close game? Holding. Winner needs a short field? Holding. DCs love them some obvious passing downs. Narrows down the playbook and significantly puts the odds in their favor. Put a team in 2nd/3rd and long all day and they are NOT going to win that game. It would be interesting to do a statistical analysis of the relationship of holding calls and game outcomes.  This is where having skill position people that can go yard on any given play is so valuable.
