Panthers Sign Michael Oher

[Captain Morgan]

keep in mind how bad the ot market is this year.  Most analysts have Oher ranked as the 6th to 8th 

best option.  Considering our need and budget, this is a ver good signing with a large upside, imho.

comments from fellow Huddlers in the Titans cut OT Michael Oher thread:

PantherDynasty:

He's worse than Bell. And thats not a joke

Jeremy Igo

PFF ranks him lower than Nate Chandler.

Jeremy Igo

Remmers is at least in the positive, ranked far above Oher who is

way negative. Oher is a RT by the way. He won't ever play LT in the league again.

UNCrules2187:

PFF notes he's gotten worse every year since his rookie season

Matthias

He's a failed LT, and now he can't play RT.

TheSpecial1

He's terrible.

The Huddler

Dude is trash.

Mage

He has sucked since his 2nd season.

WOW!!

We've punished Cam enough...by putting RT's on the left side..

[davos]

I guess we'll see if he makes it through camp.

#Panthers signed Michael Oher to a two-year contract. He is

not the answer at left tackle and I hope they don't think he is.

Where's that it's happening gif?

[davos]

I guess everyone should just set their expectations Byron Bell low.  But it's no guarantee he's even starting or making the team yet. 

 

We probably gave him a DeCoud/Cason type deal.

"Panthers signed OT Michael Oher to a two-year contract.

Turning 29 in May, Oher has been a disaster as both a pass and run blocker the past few seasons. The lowly Titans cut him in February, after just one season [at RT] ... The Panthers will be in trouble if they end up counting on Oher to make starts. He's best suited as a swing tackle"

Michael Oher is part of the plan, he’s not THE plan. But, yes, he could start the season at LT. Probable stopgap, adds competition.

 

[Toker Smurf]

Obviously we will not know until he lines up on Sunday. For now, I think we have to take solace, in the fact that Matsko knows Oher and Bell well, so they made an informed decision and chose Oher.

Im gunna go on record, un edited, saying this guy is gunna turn it around and be a beast for us. Im on the wagon DAY ONE

flame me. Call me a dumbass. But 90% of you guys dont give him a chance, im in the other 10%

Welcome to the team Oher

I'm definitely with you sometimes all it takes is for a player to be put in the right environment. I don't see the point in trashing the guy who else is out there that is better? Hopefully he and Remmers can hold down the position for another year while we groom a rookie.

So Voth is speculating we're planning on falling back on Oher if we don't find a T in the draft?  I thought we'd at least consider the Derek Newton/Barksdale/Parnell types.  Well I guess we'll see what plays out. 

[Growl]

As a backup I am absolutely okay with this. He's got starting experience at both ends which you want in backup OL.

Beyond that and I'll be scared.
