This site has the Panthers OL ranked at 23. You can’t judge OL performance based on one game. I don’t know why your OL is weak but it’s been in the bottom third for about 2 years now (injuries?). It’s too bad your sports reporters don’t know how to talk about anything expect the high profile positions. Panthers OL needs to rise to the level of the team’s defense. Good luck to your team. Btw, I thought Baker’s Thursday night shout out to his Panthers team mates was a class act. https://fantasyindex.com/2022/11/25/offensive-lines/updated-offensive-line-rankings

This is for all the geniuses in the sports media who don’t understand the relationship between the OL and QB. As I previously said to all the Panthers fans Baker haters on this site: his lackluster performance was mostly the product of your relatively weak OL. Your OL has not been rated over 22 for at least two years. By contrast, the Rams OL is 13. Baker has a quick release, a very strong arm and can read defenses extremely well. But no NFL QB can perform well with a weak OL. If Panthers fans want to be some day be competitive your front office will have to build its OL and DL. Welcome to Football 101.

Sorry - I meant to say Anderson has WRS

Every people are making new excuses with addressing the one consistent problem: the offensive line pass protection. NFL QB’s need solid pockets to pass from. This team doesn’t have that. This is why the OL is ranked 22nd in the league. Yet, all the geniuses in the media NEVER discuss this foundational problem. On thing is certain: the coaching staff sees it. The problem is there is little can do about. Robinson has an advanced case of WRS (wide receiver syndrome). Unfortunately, there is no cure.

I doubt it. The pocket frequently starts collapse within two seconds of the snap. He has a quick release but not that quick. If he ever gets solid pass protection his numbers will go up.

The most basic, though not only, reason for Mayfield’s difficulties is that the OL has been ranked between 22 and 24 for at least two years. But what really agitates me is this is never even mentioned by the geniuses who cover the team.
