You don't FUGGIN cut Ryan FUGGIN Kalil


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

Ryan Kalil is one of if not the best center in the league when he's healthy. But he's had injury problems recently and he might not last the season, again. With his cap figure, you should be getting a guy that is going to play the entire season. With so much talent walking out the door already, it's very likely the Panthers take a step back from their 11-5 record. Why not plan for the future? I know it sucks to waste another year of Cam's career, but I think that's going to happen either way.

Kalil barely played in some of those 6 games and you didn’t include the playoff game.

You think the playoff game will significantly help Kalil? Okay, here's the numbers with the playoff game included...

Rush yards: 125 (131 with Larsen) 

Pass yards: 187 (206 with Larsen)

Total yards: 319 (336 with Larsen)

Points per game 20.8 (24.3 with Larsen)

1st downs: 20.6 (20 with Larsen)

Sacks per game: 2.3 (2.3 with Larsen)

Win/Loss: 4-3 (7-3 with Larsen)

 

There's just no statistical argument for it.

Ok, now remove the game(s) Kalil barely played a quarter in.

What Ryan is costing the team with that hefty tag and lack of production playing 6 out off 17 isn't good enough. We can better allocate those funds I'm ok with Larsen if he improves slightly it will be a win win for us.

So what you're saying is that we should cut him based on his issues last season? Or are you saying he will only start 6 games this coming year? If Ryan is healthy and can play week in and week out, our offensive line is Top 10. If he doesn't play, without Norwell, we are garbage.

Not sure any website aggregates snap count by game, but I'm pretty sure one of those games is going to be the Bears game and that was our worst offensive performance of the year. I'm sure the change at center mid-season and mid-game didn't help with that.

Which is another factor to consider here. Continuity is one of the most important aspects for an OL and Ryan Kalil is just plain unreliable at this point. Bringing Kalil back virtually guarantees that we're going to have a lack of continuity at probably the most important position on the OL in terms of the value of continuity.

I'm in the camp that thought the OL performed much better with Kalil... until I looked at the numbers. Looking purely at the numbers, there's no argument for Kalil even if age/cap hit isn't even being considered. The offense was just plain better with Tyler Larsen.

Now exclude games where Kalil woke up in white pajamas.

He's just desperately clinging to this notion that the OL and the offense as a whole was better with Kalil. Hell, I thought that way too until I actually dug into the numbers.

The would is beautiful with Homer glasses on.   I can tell those that reason with logic and those that reason with emotion.  That's why Hurney has so many fans wanting to believe in him.  It's an emotional thing.   Reason and logic has nothing to do with it.

    • I saw that too--and what you said made sense because there is something like that in the rules--said that he is unlikely to get picked up (and I was not suggesting that we do) and Jones wants to go to a winning team.   After getting beaten to death in NY behind a sub par OL, poor WRs, and brutal fan base, I get it. 
    • True.  Sam and Baker did not do well here but went on to better things under better coaching, circumstances or both.  The real question is, ‘why aren’t the Panthers able to get improved performance out of ‘broken toys’, similar to Minnesota and Tampa? That is a rhetorical question.  I think we know the answer.   [The cultural reference to Pogo dates me, I’ll admit.]
    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.
