You're full of $hit and talking like $hit in your mouth. Oher will be back and will be playing LT. 

 

Face it Chuck. Kalil is coming here to play LT

If his last name wasn't Kalil or another team in out division was trying to sign him we'd be calling him trash

There's no reason for me to think he's any better than Remmers.  None

You talk as if there is not precedent here. His situation and Micheal Oher's are very similar. 

Both hit free agency 27/28 (their "athletic prime") , both entered free agency coming off of a injured season, both are former 1st round picks with prototypical size, both have connections to the Panthers (Matsko/Ryan Kalil), both play dropped off significantly after their first two seasons, and I'm sure there's more. Micheal Oher's play was so bad that they moved him from LT to RT while Kalil has always played LT.

People naturally go back to the things they've had success with and Micheal Oher is Gettlemans best free agent signing, so it is only natural that Gettleman would look at Kalil favorably (As Voth has reported).

Exactly what I was thinking. Gettleman seems to go after players that have had a down year and get at a discount price who have shown potential. Usually the year that was down was injury related. Now this is what he did when we had no cap room. It will be interesting to see if that philosophy continues when he has some spending money.

I don't get the Kalil love on here. The guy is trash. No way I want him protecting Cam's blindside. For depth? Sure. But I'm sure he's still looking to start somewhere.

Spend our resources on a proven commodity. Whitworth would be expensive but proven. Sign him for 2-3 years while we groom a prospect. At the very least Beachum and hope he's completely recovered.

Cam has taken his poundings. Time to give him a clean pocket already. We're wasting the years of Kalil, Olsen and TD with this cheap spending.

Spending on a guy like Whitworth may take us right back to the playoffs. 

We all saw in 2015 how well Cam played with an average Oher at LT. Even if we pay a premium price for a year or two, we have the money and it's something that could instantly change our entire offense. 

It just blows my mind that this organization continues to be comfortable with rolling the dice on a position that's responsible for keeping your QB off the ground.

His form looks awful in all of those vines. Zero engagement of the defender on some of those plays- no wonder they blow by you. Now also to be fair. Khalil Mack looks a lot of people look bad.

The all important 'unknown factor'. Schrodinger's Cat - until Kalil plays left tackle for the Panthers he is both better and worse than who we have right now. Makes for great discussion...

If healthy, upgrade over Remmers. 

Help save us a pick in the draft taking a rookie OT in a very weak class.

Hips. Sorry, that's more of a red flag than knees.

To be fair as bad as they were killing Kalil in Minnesota last year, there oline actually got much worse when he was out, and the fans actually missed him. He's not an All Pro but as we have seen you can do a lot worse than Matt Kalil..
