31) Carolina Panthers

When we look back at the 2021 NFL Draft in the coming years, the Carolina Panthers not addressing their offensive line could easily stand out as one of the more questionable decisions. While they retained Taylor Moton on the franchise tag at right tackle, Cameron Erving is set to start at left tackle. Erving’s 1.7% run stuff rate is among the bottom 10 for players who played more than 100 snaps in 2020.

An interior grouping of Matt Paradis, Pat Elflein, and John Miller does not give the line a huge boost. Paradis struggled in the run game with 14 blown blocks, tied for the third most. Meanwhile, Elflein’s blown block rate of 4% placed him as the seventh-worst interior offensive lineman in 2020.

Who do you think will start in their place?

I don't know.  I'm done guessing what they are doing.  Is the Moton to LT and BC to RT real?  Possible, but seems improbable.  Can Moore or Brown beat out Eiflin or even MIller?  Maybe. 

I'm not excited for a bunch of rookies on the line either.  

Eiflin was from the Jets, and Erving's been backup since he was drafted into the no win Browns.  Does the coaching staff believe that they were victims of circumstance and think they can coach them up?

The whole Erving, Eiflin thing is a mystery. 

Maybe they just wanted Darnold to feel at home.

These offensive line rankings is nothing but fools writing and reading. 

An oline doesn't consist of individual players. It is a unit. 

Predicting play based off a players last season under different circumstances doesn't equate to anything.  

While I'm not going to tell you we'll have an elite line, what I will tell you is until we see them come together as a unit, being coached by our staff, nobody knows anything. Not a damn thing. 

It's easy to sit back and Predict the end of the world.  How often has the world come to an end though?

People act like Russel Okung wasn’t injured for 90% of last season. Oh and we lost Chris Reed, big deal.
 

We added two depth pieces and some rookies. Not sure how that equates to dropping to the second worst unit in the league when we had a middle of the pack line last season.

Like I said. Written by fools, believed by bigger fools.

I think he played 7 games and we lost most if not all of them.

We almost beat KC with Daley and Little playing left tackle.

I think we all would prefer we didn't look so bad on paper here, but we just have a lot of prove-it guys.

They have Jets line rated higher because of adding one first round lineman. I guess they also forgot Becton couldn’t stay on the field either.

      Some love for Steve Wilks

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm not saying he should be working in the NFL. He did deserve some criticism as DC there. But Kyle Shanahan certainly did use him as a convenient scapegoat. Now there is no one left to throw under the bus. Anyways he could find his way back to the league in some capacity who knows. But he's old school and in the NFL you either adjust or you get left behind. All the same no hard feelings toward him he's a good guy.

      Is it too early to lock up Horn to a long term deal?

      By CRA · Posted

      he has barely suited up for 50% of our games.  It matters pending how much of our cap and resources go that way.  If he cost in the ballpark of a Surtain? No thank you.  Let someone else  And as far we know what happens when we let talent walk away or trade them…..that’s a mixed bag.   should we of paid Norman, Bradberry at CB? They probably had earned the right to be called better than Horn at that moment of the decision.  Do we regret that? Do we regret Star walking? Can take it back to Spoon.  Flip side is probably Peppers.

      Bryce Young what a crazy statement

      By frankw · Posted

      We need to get better in the redzone. And yes that is an issue that involves all the moving parts. Oline receivers QB and playcalling. But Bryce himself has to lead the charge on that or surely we could face another blowout in one of these upcoming games. Every team no matter how good they are is going to face an opponent that imposes their will on them and requires the same in response. Those are the games where we have got to capitalize on drives. Honestly I get the sense that the Chiefs on some level overlooked us.  So while I am pleased we were as competitive as we were it certainly remains to be seen if this was the beginning for something new or just an anomaly. I think that's a perfectly fair take at this juncture.
