Panthers RT Taylor Moton named one of NFL's top 11 offensive tackles

A second-round pick out of Western Michigan in the 2017 draft, Moton really came on in his second NFL season, allowing two sacks, one quarterback hit, and 25 quarterback hurries in 2018. Last season was his best, though, both in metrics and on film. While he did allow three sacks, he gave up no quarterback hits and 16 quarterback hurries in 657 pass-blocking reps. And if you wonder about his power as a run-blocker… well, ask Falcons defensive lineman John Cominsky about that as Moton pushed Cominsky out of the play and out of the screen last season.

It's about time somebody else realized how good he was.

I honestly believe Panther fans in general don't completely appreciate how good Moton is, only because he isn't a LT.

I think they are planning on moving him to LT when Armstrong's contract runs out after the season (or gets hurt again).  He's played LT for the Saints before.  That would justify the 19 mill per year.

Serious Question for anybody...

Is Moton better than prime-Darryl WIlliams on the right side?

I can't even remember how good Williams was before his injury. 

Opinions anyone?

Abso-fuggin-lutely!

And I actually think DW played well right up to the SB.

So in typical Panthers fashion we're going to fail to resign him at the end of the year now aren't we?

I really love the guy, but until he signs a new contract the future of our offensive line is a dumpster fire. They're all either old under performing players, or young under performing player and then Morton.

We gambled Cams career on a bad offensive line and lost. We gambled on it with Allen under center and lost. Same with Teddy, and now we're gambling on it with Darnold.

Morton absolutely has to get resigned, and we absolutely have to spend more quality picks on quality offensive linemen instead of hoping for the best year after year.

Can't argue with any of this. Seen this story play out enough times over the last several years. It's "Moton" btw.

Yeah, my new phone autocorrected it and I didn't notice.

LOL, suuuure. I got moton at the 8-11 best RT in the game, hogwash hes the best 11th best overall. Did moton's agent slip this guy a 100$? Following up with what I posted in the other threads

Ramczyk >> Moton

 

Simply you can not pay every single spot TOP money, somebody has make the hard choices. RT is not in the top half of "pay that man his money" positions. If moton was a yearly top 1-3 RT, I would change my tune, but hes not. Plus given the big brains at panthers office have already paid LB Shaq and RB CMC too much, it would add to the problem of wasting money at lesser-valued spots to pay Moton 18-20 per for 8th best RT play.

Right now, with the tag, Moton is the 4th highest paid RT.  Any long term contract is probably north of there.

Are you saying we shouldn't re-sign him?
