Burns v Little... Mixed emotions.

Little is a 6-pack LT. Meaning, if you drink a 6-pack, Little doesn't look so bad - better than Williams who never looks good, no matter how much you drink. 

Just think what happens when the Panthers finally land a legitimate LT who doesn't require you to drink when they play.

Little will improve and be serviceable. That's damning with faint praise. 

He's not your savior.

In Little’s defense Burns is going to be an elite pass rusher that gives 99% of LT’s fits. 

Little looked fine for rookie getting his first action in a regular season game at LT. 

Just like Bradberry improved once he started practicing against a real NFL WR daily, Little will see legit competition daily going up against Burns. 

There’s no reason to have Williams out there anymore. Little is the future at LT for us so let’s roll with him and let him take his bumps now

Some folks are natural pass rushers, just perfect combinations of size, speed, agility and predator instincts.

No one is a natual left tackle. It's a learned skill set the requires a near impossible combination of size, mass, strength and smarts, coupled with a learned ability to move in kick steps and redirection rather than grappling. Even Jordan Gross took time to get good and then great at it. 

And we have to remember that a tackle will eventually lose on every play, it is a delaying game they have to play, holding off the inevitable, with no stats given for just doing their job.

Little looked good yesterday in limited service. If we keep bringing him along then some of the doubters may very well be eating their hats next season or even late into this one. Many of the same folks were telling us that CMC was a busted pick, just a third down scat back who couldn't run between the tackles. Expert opinions.
