Don't forget about 60...

The dbags at my work who know nothing about the panthers all say we need to draft an RT. I said sure but not in the first or second. We have a guy we drafted last year to play RT. They just stare at me. No clue. This kid will be a stud.

I feel like ive seen quite a few tackles stand 95 up

As long as he gets better at his footwork.  You can't maul the guy if you can't get there.

Hell, on average an OT will win about 85% of time against a pass rush. The greats do it close to 100% and the worst are around 70%. Even the worst win more than they lose.

Is it bad that part of me still wonders what would have happened has Williams been the RT versus Remmers?

Miller would have wrecked Williams too. Speed was his weakness coming out of the draft and a rookie is just not going to have a good time against Von Miller.

Exactly, I think people are looking at things in a grass is always greener kind of way in regards to what could have been after the Super Bowl. The facts are he was a 4th round rookie and Von Miller would have eaten his lunch too. Remmers had a good year throughout the whole year only having 2 or 3 actual bad games. One of them just happened to be the super bowl.

Williams didn't allow a sack all season his senior year at OU.  Kid's legit.

My thoughts as well, can he kick out fast enough to handle the speed rushers?

[Mr Mojo Risin]

I was not as impressed with Remmers as most of you are in here. I bet we bring in more competition this year. Remmers was exposed multiple times throughout the season and was also a penalty machine. Was he as bad as Chandler/Bell? No, but he was bad enough.

Haven't forgotten about him. 

Just hoping he proves the injuries this year were a fluke

He got a sprained MCL, which is not an uncommon injury or generally one with lingering effects (even for big lineman).  And once he was healed, he played the rest of the year without any reported setbacks or problems.  So, there's really no reason to think of this as a concerning injury or one that puts any question on his future.  Also, you keep mentioning injuries in the plural.  I only remember the one knee sprain, what other injuries are you concerned about?

I recall there being something else late in the season, during a game I think.

I did a search, and the only injury talked about with Williams was the MCL sprain.  Nothing about any other sort of injury - even a minor one - any time after he returned from the knee.

Might not have been anything major then.

I can live with that.

I think we are going to be good with Williams.  I have little doubt he'll be starting over Remmers next year...and our run game will be much better for it.
