WE NEED TACKLES!!

we have a great oline with norwell kalil and turner but the revolving doors at tackle make the oline as a whole look like crap !!!. we need to bring in 2 tackles in free agents , they dont have to be no high priced guys but at least a proven starter to compete with williams and oher and to replace that bum remmers  . with a solid oline we seen what cam can do and with a bad oline he plain sucks when hes getting hit every play . we are wasting cams talent seriously hes better off and almost every offense in the nfl other than ours we have legit the worst offense without cam !! get tackles and spend a early pick on a rb we need a running game . we can cut tolbert and restructure stewart to keep as a change of pace because hes too injury prone . just picture cam with an actual running game where he doesn't have to do most of the work and tackles that are half decent . once again im not asking for no joe thomas or tyron smith  just a guy thats an upgrade over oher and remmers .

I will be shocked if the Panthers front office ever addresses the OT position outside of some over priced band aids.

The OT position has not been neglected, it has just had very poor judgement by Gettleman since 2014.

I would not be shocked to see Oher and Remmers remain over paid OTs for the Panthers for the next few seasons.

Not gonna lie, the bust rate of recent 1st round OTs scares me a bit.

We'll have to wait and see where we end up picking, but it wouldn't shock me if Leonard Fournette is the pick depending on how the board falls. 

yea i deff dont want no first rd tackle would rather get one in freeagency

This years FA class is awful sadly.

Honestly, it usually is.  All these recent 1st round bust OTs has a trickle down effect. It seems like it's getting harder and harder to find legit starting caliber OTs, so they very rarely hit free agency. I think a lot of it has to do with the passing game becoming a bigger and bigger part of the game in general.  All those dropbacks puts a lot of pressure on the OTs and most OTs come out of college more NFL ready in terms of the run game than they are in terms pass protection. The exotic blitz schemes and downright physical freaks at DE and OLB that these guys face at the NFL level is tough to process for them in pass protection. There's a reason why offensive linemen love running the football.  They're the ones dictating the action in the run game. It doesn't matter what the defense is doing, they're the ones on the attack. Pass protection is tougher and requires more athleticism because you're on the defense.  You're largely reacting to what the defense and defender is doing to try to get to your QB. That's a lot tougher of a job.
