For those of you with dreams of the Kalil Brothers on the same team, it's not as far-fetched as some think.

According to Voth and his sources with knowledge on the matter, Panthers are interested in seeking out Matt Kalil in Free Agency.

"We're in the unknown and we're going to move forward. We've got a plan and we'll just see where it goes. I can't give you anything more than that."

That plan, according to sources, includes interest in left tackle Matt Kalil, who's set to become a free agent on March 9.

The younger brother of Panthers center Ryan Kalil, Matt Kalil has been a disappointment after the Vikings took him with the fourth overall pick in the 2012 draft. But the Panthers believe Kalil can be more than serviceable with a change of scenery.

Don't be surprised to see Matt Kalil as another addition to our o-line. At worst he's a good backup with potential to become a starter there.

Although Kalil still has a ways to go to getting back to his amazing rookie season form, it's not too far-fetched to believe Gettleman can't do it again. He has potential to come and solidify the LT spot with our interior being one of the best, and help us out.

Another Oher-like possibility that does make a lot of sense.

EDIT: Since there are those who believe this was news that had broke grounds earlier; yes, Voth has mentioned multiple times in the past on the possibility of Matt Kalil. However, this article was the first that really said the Panthers themselves had the interest and that Voth got the info from sources.

Sorry for the confusion.

This isn't exactly breaking news

Actually, it kind of is. This shows the Panthers are actually interested in Mat Kalil like we are. The only things floating around lately have been "what if Matt Kalil were on the team?" 

Voth basically certified the Panthers have actual interest in that possibility. Pretty cool stuff.

Voth has been saying this for a couple weeks now.

Voth doesn't often tweet stuff like this. When he does, it means something 

Well, appears he made that in an opinion-like sentence. The part I quoted stated Voth had heard from sources on the matter.

      I don't know about you but I have been a life long Chiefs fan for the past 4 years.

      If "fans" would have came out today we would have made up those 3-points in home field advantage.

      Sure there's a ton of transplants in Colorado now. But as far as Denver in particular goes the Broncos have also been around for 65 years. Someone moving to Denver is going to be far more likely to become a fan of the Broncos and even attend games versus someone moving to Charlotte and the Panthers. Like I said it's not just one single thing with us it's multiple factors.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      He's definitely getting better. It's fun to watch.  I've been getting killed for this take, but with the current state of college football, it just takes more time to develop a quarterback. I don't think it's a plug and play position anymore. I'm really not sure if it ever was. NFL offenses have always been substantially more complex than the college game, and the college game has simplified even more in recent years. Many college teams do not have a physical playbook anymore. That's just not the national football league.  Are there freaks who have success from day 1? Yes, without question. But so many of those guys are runners, and so many of those guys tail off. Is Bryce ever going to be Josh Allen? Probably not.  What I am seeing is a guy with complete command of the offense. He's checking into things at the line, making adjustments, and making timely throws.  He goes to David Moore a ton, because Moore is a consistent route runner. Bryce knows where he is and when he should be open. I think the guy with the "super processor" needs to be comfortable in the offense in order to do the "super processing." He doesn't have elite arm talent, and he is small of stature, but if he makes the smart play consistently, and he's willing to throw the ball downfield and not make mistakes, like he's starting to show, he's going to be a starter for a long time in this league, and it's not a position I'd spend draft capital right now.
