He has still been bad overall - think he graded in the 50s the first couple games 

 

116 snaps, 0 penalties, 1 sack allowed. Yet only has a 48.5 grade. Still must be atrocious in the running game.

 

And Fitt got something for him. Yeah Fitt.

And sometimes it's just comes down to young guys just not getting how much actual work it takes to be an NFL player. They either get it, or they fail. Sounds like Little got it.

If you have a 1st round grade on a tackle, he better get it from day 1. He should have been a day 3 pick but Marty Hurney's gut and all...

1st round tackles usually don't get it day one unless they are HOF. Sometimes it takes years and position changes. Hell we found gold in the White Buffalo and he went on to be terrible for Jax.

Norwell, Turner, Obada, Mayo... the anders collected a bunch of Panthers castoffs over there.

I happen to see the NFL replay of the Miami game the other day.  Greg Little was starting guard and looked OK.  I'm not sure if any of you notice but seems like we should have had him at guard once he flopped at Tackle.

I wasn't focused on him be he's their starting guard and Miami looks solid. 

He wasn't great also one just about anyone can have one solid game a career it does not make.

 

The only offensive lineman I can think of in Panthers history that we gave up on too early was Evan Mathis.

Norwell wasn’t terrible in Jax, he just wasn’t elite like he was here. He was also surrounded by utter trash and worse coaching but he was still average at worst for them, when he wasn’t injured.

Hell, Jaguars Notwell would instantly be our best olineman outside of Moton…not that it’s saying much.

But I do agree tackles usually take 2 yearish…not sure what fantasy maddden land people live in saying they contribute day 1. It’s unbelievable rare even for HOFamer.

Which reminds us all how Rhule downgraded Slater defying all odds and doing just that lmao… Rhule is such a fuging clown.

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
