Is it still to early to be worried about Byron Bell?

[davos]

The Bell hate was consistent last year, then the season ended and post-draft people were pissed it seemed we were keeping him at RT....Then as the offseason progressed, there was a fandome transition to having faith in his play since they were giving him a shot at LT, then people started more blind optimism when it seemed like he beat out Chandler, and now people are realizing his actual talent again.  

 

I just hope he's not terrible.  I like his story and he seems passionate but it doesn't matter if you can't translate it.  We're not changing starters at this point but at the least need some OT depth.  Velasco/Scott are good for the interior.

I already bought one. And my niece has been wearing it for 2 years. Believe it or not some people love the Panthers whether they win or lose. Whether they make the pro bowl or play poorly.

I think it's pretty normal to be nervous about Bell at LT. But not based on preseason week 4. Just based on him being slower than every guy he lines up against. He looks out manned and hopefully we scheme for that.

The one thing our line gets criticized for unfairly is the run game. Deangelo is really really bad. Just his decision making and playing physical. He makes the line look bad. Also Shula does some bizarre things like ask a receiving Tight End to block a Pro Bowl defensive end. We get outflanked by defeated tight ends way too often.

So Deangelo is bad but its ok for bell to be?

Deangelo is bad. And Bell probably is too. But I have no vitriol for either. I wish no harm or negativity towards either. I don't make vile jokes about either. There is a difference between acknowledging someone is bad and hating them.

Two starters I wish would get cut.. Bell and D Will

If Bell is cut and replaced with better production, then maybe just maybe you would feel differently about DWill?

It's too late to be worried about Byron Bell. Maybe we could start David Foucault at LT. I don't know, but I do know that Bell is trash at the pro level.

I in no way hate bell. Didn't start this thread as a joke. I'm seriously concerned that we have a problem a left tackle and he if he is moved back to right tackle. He is not a starting caliber tackle period. I wish him well and success and a long NFL career but I do not want him starting for the Panthers.

D Will is just too one dimensional, hes good in the screen game but HORRIBLE in between the tackles

So who's fault is it that they keep calling those plays for him? Good teams scheme around the talent they have.

I'd really like to be in the meeting rooms with Gman to see exactly what it is he sees in Bell to give him the faith he's given him! I'm not gonna say I've lost all faith but I will admit to being slight concerned.....
