We really rolling with this offensive line?

[NiceDreams]

Don't know much about the individual players on your Oline, but protecting Sam really needs to be the focal point, which I'm sure is an extremely obvious talking point, but its vital. Give him a little bit of time and he should be ok. If he has an Oline like he did in 2019 & 2020.......whooooaaa nelly. Not many QBs can perform well in that scenario.

It’s weird how our last 3 GMs have all not prioritized OL

It's really weird how fans....fans,  think any football executive is ignoring such an important unit such as the offensive line. 

But as we all know, fans know better/best.

I'm waiting to see the starting 5 after they have time to gel.  

Another month, and then we'll know one way or the other...until then it's just hyperbole. Sorry if ya don't like waiting to a into the regular season, I hate it, but it's a fact of life with the modern CBA.

Ah the joys of being a Panthers fan, every year hoping that this offensive line of bubble gum and duct tape is the one that will put it all together.

Why don’t they just start Brown or Christensen???

They will after we start 0-4 and Darnold is done for season

Maybe the coaching staff already knows that some of these guys will be on a very short leash, performance-wise. We can't say for sure what goes on behind those doors. We'll see how they perform and any adjustments. I can't believe they'll just allow the line to be a sieve without making timely changes. Hopefully they'll get the mixture as best as possible with this group of guys and we'll be able to work around this weakness.

Remember when they started Whitehead for almost an entire season while this board was screaming that his backup was much better only to find out when they finally benched him his backup was indeed much better and the starter this season?

 

Good times. 

So come Sunday is Sam stays clean and the o line they put out there looks decent will everybody around here calm down about the damn line for at least a few days?

You all act like we have the worst ranked O Line in the NFL year after year.

If starting QB gets hurt, they won’t be looking so smart.

When they say its a rebuilding year...they mean Sam's knees.

Rhule and his analytics…. Not sure what analytics he’s looking at…. Darnold is about to run for his life.

...thats ok...hes use to it...can Brady plan around the weaknesses?.... it will be hard for us to push the ball down field if not....he has 1.3485 seconds to get rid of the ball...he better know where hes going with it.

[pantherj]

At the very least we could pull out Effie and put in Deonte on important short yardage situations.

Game Announcer:  Darnold is down!  Darnold is down!

Rhule:  "Whoo hoo!  High draft pick in 22 baby!

Too soon?

I'd reverse the question: Did we really believe a top O-Line was gonna be built in one offseason?

My read this offseason has been that they're signing stopgap vets (minus Moton, of course) while looking to build the line of the future primarily via the draft.

Will it work? Don't know, but I can respect the approach.

Going all in on a single season when you're realistically in a rebuilding stage would be classic Marty Hurney.

Saw a couple of OL get decimated this weekend in Carolina & Clemson…it was the deciding factor in both games
