looks like a lot of people had high hopes for jeff this season. i saw some when asked, thought he'd have a pro bowl kind of season in his second season with the panthers. while he's been great in the run game he's been borderline horrible in the passing game. he often looks like he has lead feet when forced to pass block. it also seems like atleast once a game,he's rolling around on the ground with some phantom knee or leg problem that makes us all go oh no not again.what does the future hold for jeff and is he still on the upswing?

well he's on IR now, so we'll never know if he would've been pro-bowl-worthy or not. also, most fans aren't trained enough to be able to judge the caliber of an offensive lineman unless that lineman is unbelievably dominant.

he false starts a lot, so that's definitely a problem, and he does have pass protection problems - an area schwartz was definitely much improved in. run-blocking though... the man is an absolute steamroller... hard to argue with that. it's one of the reasons our run game has been so dominant.

He was midseason All-Pro for Peter King. Apparently the rest of the league disagrees with you as he is seen as one of the best RTs in the game.

He had some false starts, thats about it. I think he confusing Vincent with the holding calls and letting his man beat him for sacks

Otah was on some all-pro stuff before the injury

otah had 6 false starts, 0 holding, 5 sacks allowed.

sorry....not really seeing that as a weak point there. it isn't perfect but for a sophomore on a team with huge offensive problems for most of the year...i'd say he did pretty well.

phantom injuries? rolling on the ground? how often was that really seen? lol.

he hasnt completed a full season. and if u watch all the games like i do, u'd see he goes down more than the rest of the lineman(tho he gets back up most of the time) on the team.

I noticed that D'Brickashaw Ferguson was added to the pro bowl for the AFC this year. Here was his stat line- 16 games played, 8 penalties for 60 yards, 5 false starts, 2 holding penalties, 8 sacks allowed.

Here are Otah numbers- 13 games started, 7 penalties for 35 yards ( 6 false starts, 0 holding, 5 sacks allowed.

Yes he plays right side and Ferguson plays left side. Still the stat line by comparison suggests he is doing okay for a second year player.

just sayin...........................

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      By fanpanther · Posted

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.

      In my dream, we somehow luck into a top 2 pick and someone wants a QB bad and doesn’t want anyone else to jump them. Somehow we’ll probably screw up the picks anyway, but it would be nice to do even partially what Chicago did to us. We’d have to lose out, which is a decent possibility unless Tampa is resting. We need Atlanta to stay within a game because Atlanta beat Tampa twice. The rest of the draft slots are who knows because Jax plays the Raiders and then Tennessee and you never know who will rest starters. I think we are top 7 unless we somehow pull out 2 more wins. The 4 win teams have higher SOS and there is only one 5 win team with the same SOS. If we win 1 of 3, we still should stay in top 7. If we lose out and the Jax games work for us, we can easily be top 3.
