Tyler Larsen , the next Norwell?


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

Tyler Larsen looked better at center last night against a stout defense than Gradkowski had looked all year. It took an injury to discover this, just like it did with Norwell. 

Unfortunately, it is too little too late. The season is over. If the coaching staff had recognized this earlier the Panthers may still have a chance. Gradkowski's poor play definitely added to the losses. 

Should the coaching staff be criticized for not seeing it, or praised for eventually being forced to get it right due to injuries?

I personally wasn't surprised by Larsen playing well.  He was a high regarded Guard coming out of Utah State. Projected to be drafted anywhere between 3rd-5th round.   I was more surprised he's bounced around as he has and also being undrafted.  I do believe he could be the next Norwell.  Maybe a good fit for any guard or center position.  Trai Turner looked very well at RT.

If all healthy wonder who a LT Norwell, LG Laren, C Kalil, RG Trai Turner, RT Daryl Williams would look.   IMO that would be a road grading line. 

i don't want to wonder what norwell at left tackle looks like

    • I mean saying he worked with Wilson is a stretch
    • Canales has worked with Wilson, Smith & Mayfield. He didn't move on from them did he? Reich & Canales have both benched Young. Young consumed a bulk of the Panthers' draft capital & free agency the past 2 seasons all for offense. What will it take for people to realize Young isn't a professional athlete, nevermind a leader of professional athletes?
    • Brees was the EXCEPTION. My God why can’t people see this. We didn’t outsmart anybody by drafting Bryce other than ourselves. In his prime Brees was NEVER A PROJECT. He was never just an ok QB before getting plugged in with Payton.  In his second season in SD he threw for 3,200 yards and 17 TDs. His last 2 years in SD he threw 51 TDs while being sacked 55 times. He was already a stud before going to the Saints.  he threw for at least 4,000 f-in yards EVERY SEASON from 2006 to 2018.  He threw for over 5,000 yards in 5 of those. I really thought all of the Bryce people had given up by now. He’s not Drew Brees. He’s not throwing for 80,000 yards and 571 TDs over a 19 year career, while leading one of the most prolific offenses of all time. He would be lucky to have met the guy who once carried DB’s jock.  Bryce is morale poison who throws hospital balls, 2 yard dump offs and pick 6s because he lacks the critical physical attributes to succeed in the NFL as well as the burning desire to BE A CHAMPION. He spent the offseason watching tv and playing video games. Every year wasted on him is a year wasted in developing other actual legitimate talent that exists on offense. Expect XL, the line, and pretty much the entire offense to regress if he starts next season. Canales gets it. It’s about making the Panthers win. Not Bryce.  Imagine being his teammate and hearing that after his pathetic ass rookie season, he went home to watch tv and play video games in the offseason. Imagine what Thielen really thought when he first heard. He should have hired a personal trainer and throwing coach the last day of the season. He needed to immerse himself deeper in to football, he chose to withdraw. he is not and will never be a champion. Dan is putting together some good offensive talent that will be completely wasted with Bryce under center. He’s injected high level talent and veteran leadership on the offensive line. There are skill players with big play ability, who are running free. I’m trying to pump the brakes but this offense is shaping up to be pretty fun to watch, and it only took one offseason’s worth of moves. I don’t think we are as far as people say we are.  So his big contract hit….   Want to know why divorce is so expensive… because it’s worth it.
