Ouch!  I don't know much about Wharton.  Is he a reliable back up?

 

The injury didn't just happen.  Wharton was our starter last week.  He is better than Amini.  Amini has some upside Wharton doesn't but  isn't a consistent player yet.

The move means Panthers like their OL depth and wanted a proven special teams player, which Williams is.

 

Gettlemen loves this OL!!!!!  No worries!

 

Meanwhile, I bet RR goes to bed every night cursing this dude out.

The good news, from a Panther perspective, is that he will likely draw Kendall Langford rather than Michael Brockers.  Brockers has really come on in the last couple of weeks and looked unstoppable last week against the Texans OL.

wharton was one of the better LGs in the league and had been a starter there and at LT.

 

the old GM released him because he'd rather overpay for RBs and LBs than keep a good RG around. wharton was due a bunch of money and wanted him to restructure/take a pay cut. wharton didnt want to so he was let go. he got picked up by the bengals but then got put on IR during his first preseason game with them.

 

he was part of the OL here while it was at it's best in the non-steroid era. he's been out a year and just getting back into the swing of things, but he did very well last week. he's quite familiar with the guys on either side of him so the chemistry is there.

 

basically we don't take a step backward with inserting wharton there. like others have said, not as much upside as silatolu, but more experience and better chemistry with the OL.

      That's why I said stats aside. I lived in CO during Allen's college career and didn't have kids at the time so I watched most of his games. Bruh, I'm telling you. Balls just spraying all over the place. The type of throws where you're honestly trying to figure out who he was even trying to throw that one too. It was crazy. Richardson was inaccurate in college but at least you could tell who he was trying to throw it too. He threw a lot of early in the game Cam Newton type balls where it seemed like he was just a little too amped up and everything was a few feet high.

      Post- Training Camp 53-Man Roster Projection

      By Seltzer · Posted

      A lot can change over the next week, but here is my best 53-man roster (note: I'm just basing this on guys on the 90 man roster currently). Obviously there could be trades/ waiver claims/ FA signings.   Offense (25) QB (2): Bryce Young, Andy Dalton RB (3): Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle, Trevor Etienne TE (4): Tommy Tremble, JT Sanders, Mitchell Evans, James Mitchell WR (7): Tetoria McMillan, Xavier Legette, Adam Theilen, Jalen Coker, Hunter Renfrow, Jimmy Horn, Brycen Tremayne  OL (9): Ikem Ekwonu, Damien Lewis, Austin Corbett, Robert Hunt, Taylor Moton, Cade Mays, Chandler Zavala, Brady Christensen, Yosh Nijman    Defense (25) DL (6): Derrick Brown, Bobby Brown, Ashawn Robinson, Tershawn Wharton, Sam Roberts, Cam Jackson OLB (5): DJ Wonnum, Pat Jones, Nic Scourton, Princely Umanmielen, Thomas Incoom  ILB (5): Trevin Wallace, Christian Rozeboom, Krys Barnes, Jon Rattigen, Claudin Cherelus S (4): Trevon Moehrig, Demani Richardson, Lathan Ransom, Nick Scott  CB (5): Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson, Chau Smith-Wade, Corey Thornton, Shemar Bartholomew    ST (3): LS: JJ Jansen  P: Sam Martin  K: Matthew Wright    Would like to hear everyone's thoughts

      He was a more accurate passer at 56.2%. That's what I mean. Even by outlier standards, this dude was inaccurate. Closest I can recall to something like that would have been one of those GT QB's like Reggie Ball. Career 48.6% passer.
