“Daley suffered a concussion during Sunday's game against the Lions, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Daley recovered a fumble in the second quarter but suffered a concussion in the process. He'll need to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol before playing in another game, and his status is uncertain for a Week 12 matchup against the Vikings.”

I think we all knew it

Sh-t.

Daley is good but his body isn't holding up. I don't think you can depend on him long term.

It’s like a repeating story with any of our promising lineman. If they are solid for any real stretch it’s been all too common to get hurt shortly thereafter. It feels like the injury bug hits our oline more than any other franchise recently.

It's the story with a lot of late round picks.

I've said it before: The hardest part of the Draft isn't deciding who's good right now. The really difficult part is predicting how long they're going to be good.

People get excited when a late round pick or an undrafted free agent look great; and yeah, it's a good thing. The problem is that as often as not, it doesn't last very long.

He’s been OK. I wouldn’t say he was promising or good. He’s stepped up when we needed him but if we want a solid OL I still think, health aside, we’d need an upgrade. Health added in and he’s definitely not a long term solution.

Those 2018/2019 drafts really did kill our depth and create holes. We had 2 extra 3rds and we still ended up with Burns, Moore and meh.

My experience has been that with OL, waist benders tend to have the most head injuries.  It only makes sense.  Stick your nugget in Reggie White's face and see how long you last. 

(The reason I said that:  The RT for the Raiders last night --his father was on the practice squad for the Steelers and he told me about a scrimmage they had with Philly.  Reggie knocked him out during a drill.  He is now a preacher--like Reggie was--I told him, "Reg knocked the word of God into your head" and he said, "and knocked a lot of crap out the other end")

Didn't he leave the game WAY after that or am i remembering incorrectly.

I'd put Daley in the range of good to sometimes approaching very good. Not great, but that's okay.

I was going to classify him as "better than Greg Little" but I realized that's way too broad a category.

He had a good start last year but got worse. He’s not above average which is good to me. Remember how good we thought Chris Clark was and even Little looked OK until he played Atlanta and looked like he wasn’t allowed to move his feet. Daley has not played well enough consistently to be considered above average. He’s potentially salvageable unlike Little. Wouldn’t surprise me if Little gets the Gaulden treatment after this year.

      Snow in the high country

      i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with.

      FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.

      Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
