Coach: Protecting Cam top priority

[jarhead]

Rotoworld 4 days ago:

"Panthers LG Silatolu struggled as a pass protector while making 15 starts as a rookie in 2012 (grading out as a bottom-five guard in Pro Football Focus' ratings). Then he blew out his knee three games into the 2013 season and was lost for the rest of the year. He'll be a question mark for 2014 along with potential left tackle Byron Bell, right tackle Garry Williams and Chris Scott/Nate Chandler at right guard. The Panthers arguably have the worst offensive line in the NFL right now."

From where I sit we look pretty bad on paper.

We probably have the worst OL in the league on paper.  We may also have the worst WR corps in the league on paper.  Cam Newton pretty much is our offense as it sits right now.

well we still have this guy (probably my favorite player on the team)

Don't get me wrong, I love Tolbert too, but if you're talking about your offense being a one man show and you have to say, "Hey, wait about this guy!" and we're talking about a fullback, well... that says a lot.

just trying to make you feel a bit better man.

Well hope he means its a priority over adding depth/replacements at OLB/DE and getting a corner too.

 

Seriously, what do you think Cam's reaction is going to be if we go DE/CB or something the first 2 rounds?  :cam2:

 

Cue the "Newton isn't Gettleman's quarterback" conspiracy theorists if we do.
