Gross said Bell could play LT

Rivera said Bell could play LT

Gettleman said Bell could play LT

Kalil said Bell could play LT

Huddle says bell can't play LT

I am in the wait and see category myself. I am sure there will be some OL drafted and then it's a best man up type of mentality.

Bell can't handle the speed and athletic guys in the right.....traditional it is more and better versions attacking the left.

Don't confuse good ole fashioned team support and saying what you are suppose to say.....as Bell can play LT

So you are saying without a shadow of a doubt it's impossible for Bell to play LT effectively? Are you saying  there is no way possible that he could be marginally better playing the LT being that he is a left handed person.  Are you saying he is not even serviceable playing T in general.  If you are then I guess we will see.  If you aren't then I guess we will see.  The whole point is, it doesn't matter until we see him on the field.  It doesn't matter who we draft there will be a competition for that LT position.

Not really I believe there is still some solid picks left, as for bell yeah I know he had bad games but even gross along with Kalil has said that bell has progressed each and every season...who knows he might actually be better on the left side...his run blocking is solid he jus needs to keep working on pass protection...hopefully we get someone to compete and make us better tho

Technically I could line up and play it. Cam would be sacked every down and I likely would be in the hospital but technically I could

We know for a fact now Bell struggles with speed and athleticism at RT. We know he will face even better rushers more consistantly at LT.

So what leads you to believe he can.....besides politically correct team support while we have no option

I like Billy Turner in the second, but NFCS teams loading up on WR, I'd take a flyer on Desir or SJB in the second and pray to God that Flemming is there in the third and then sign or trade for Roos.

LT: Roos, Bell

LG: Silatolu, Folkerts

C: Kalil

RG: Kugbilla, Scott,

RT: Flemming, Williams

That's awful, but it could be worse.

What leads me to believe he can?  The GM, Coaches, former and current players.

 

My question to you is simple but you kind of avoided it.   Are you saying there is no way that Byron Bell can play LT effectively?  All of the Byron Bell is the worst tackle ever people never actually say this.  They post pictures of turnstyles, they say they can play the position about the same, they say there are 283728378 people who can play it better.  Just straight out... are you saying there is absolutely no way Byron Bell can play LT effectively?

Yea I dont think people realize how abysmal our entire line is outside of C.

I'm fairly confident that.most fans don't know the talent we have outside of C, cause they haven't had time to even play together. How the hell can you judge the line just based on the players the Panthers have, when ya haven't even seen the intended lineup play together?

Damn, I hate stupidity....how fricking difficult is it for people to use their brains.

And for the record:  I don't know if Byron Bell can play LT.  I am just in the wait and see category since people in the organization I somewhat trust are saying he can. Getting Cam killed is not in anyone's best interest.  Especially a coach and GM.
