Titans complete OT switcheroo with Panthers, sign Byron Bell

[Mr. Scot]

My question is what the hell is up with Barksdale?

I think he has Crabtree syndrome, in other words he believes he's worth a lot more than he really is.

A Byron Bell , Michael Oher swap is so fitting, because its a

lateral move for each team.

Bell may not be a super star, but he would be a major upgrade over Oher.

Bell will be an upgrade over Michael Oher

James Holaday Jr @ Titan4Ever595

I'm not sure there is worse than Oher. Bell and Oher may be the same but Oher was horrible

Paul Kuharsky @ PaulKuharskyNFL

the Panthers think Michael Oher is better than Byron Bell

Patrick @ TennessyXO

The Panthers didn't have to watch Oher's protective instincts fail play after play

personal take on Bell...You know when a team signs Oher to replace you you gotta really suck

TitansReport.com: Bell visiting Titans

- Panthers fans absolutely hate the guy. When it comes to OL fans almost always get it right in terms of who they hate. Keep this guy far away.

-Bell would have to line up in a 4 point stance to be worse than Oher.

-If Bell is signed..it will only verify that Webster learned nothing from the Oher mistake...

-Mike Keith was just on the Midday 180 talking about Bell. ... saying that he played poorly on the left side but was decent at times on the right side. 

- It is beyond obvious that they are just going to have to draft someone on day 2 to start at RT. They simply can not afford to make another mess like Oher. You don't sign a guy to start just because he is a veteran. If he sucked before, he will continue to suck.

When someone uses the phrase "decent at times" and thats the absolute nicest part of their statement about you, you've got a problem.

Panthers fans don't watch Titans scrub offensive linemen.

Titans fans don't watch Panthers scrub offensive linemen.

So it's kind of funny to me that either group could say definitively that their guy is worse. Fans are hyperbolic by nature and always think their guy is the best, worst, (whatever supports their argument here), etc.

That could be true.
