Panthers biggest need per PFF (You already know...)

Can he play LT? That continues to be the question that has plagued Panthers fans really since Jordan Gross departed. PFF picked the biggest offseason need for all 32 teams, and of course LT is our biggest need, and this is their super short synopsis:

Matt Kalil’s $55 million deal is shaping up to be an all-time bad signing. He earned a 63.1 overall grade in 2017 before missing all of 2018 with yet another injury. It will cost them more to cut the soon to be 30-year old tackle than to roster him in 2019, but either way, you likely don’t want him starting.

 

No, only an enemy would want him starting. With the contract what it is, let us pray that he's a handsome-paid backup and that Marty Hurney can indeed pull a rabbit out of the hat to finally put an end to one of the Huddle's biggest not-so-private jokes since Gross left (half o' pun not intended).

I dont even know why ppl are upset over this. We neglected the OL for years banking on Cam being a superior athletic phenom that we could skimp on OL because he was so gifted top be mobile/strong and get away from the failings of the OL. 

 

LT isnt our biggest need. Our biggest need is for this organization to care about Cam as a true QB..and not a physically gifted athlete that can overcome the lack of complimentary parts most other teams place around him,.

I think you keep him as the main back up and get the cap hit over with. Moton at LT and hopefully Williams at RT. Then a misc back swing tackle. If we draft a LT (1st rd) then Moton at RT. If you need to sign a back up anyway get the dead money over with and have him one more year. Freezes up some money for another position.

Due to being stuck with Kahil's contract and having Moton, Williams, and Clark on the roster, I still believe interior OL and DE are bigger needs.

Kalil can be cut June 1 without famhaet

 

Williams and Clark are FA, which I hope is resigned.  Williams for obvious reason, Clark for depth

Wouldn't it still be a huge cap hit getting rid of him after June 1? It seems from what I've read it would be more advantageous to cut after the 2019 season. 

I understand we've been without an elite LT for many years, but with Ryan Kahil retiring and really not having a standout guy at LG (Van Roton), I see interior OL as more of an immediate need. Now if we do cut M Kahil after June 1 and don't retain Williams and/or Clark, I agree tackle would be the bigger need.

he would still count against our cap but it would be less than his salary.  I forget what the savings would be, but it has been posted here several times

In our final two games of the season each of our 2 backup quarterbacks were unable to finish the game behind this OL without injury.

If you really don't think the offensive line is our highest priority, you're either shitposting, or you just have no clue what you're talking about.

I have to ask ...at what point did you feel i said our OL was not at what it should be? Have you even read my previous posts where i made it very clear our team neglected the OL because Cam was a freakish athlete?

 

If you really cannot read what i said before..please do not acccuse me of shitposting.

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      By fanpanther · Posted

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.
