Might want to spend that second round pick on a new LT

And speaking of sacks,

Playing form behind all the time will do that.  Bryce might want to put some of that 4th quarter effort into the first half.

I'm reserving judgement until next season.  He's been bad this year, no doubt, but is it him or the circumstances?  He was one of the best rookie offensive linemen last season, but the OL was stable and he had veteran QBs then.  Now he has a revolving door at LG next to him and a rookie QB with no pocket awareness.

He's trash dawg.  He was better hidden last year.  But the dude can't pass block to save his life. Gets manhandled by stronger dudes.  Not fast enough for the smaller guys.  He stinks.  Sooner we realize it the better off we'll be.  Or we better hope a coaching savant comes and fixes him up.

He doesn't fit the zone scheme at all. That said, he's never been a good pass blocker.

It's extremely disappointing. He showed some serious promise last year. Then he read all his pressure clippings and they went to his head. I do think he's an OG though.

Reserving judgment until next season? Why do that?

Might be the biggest bust in team history (barring Bryce?). I’m not sure he’s salvageable. We drafted a franchise left tackle that cant pass block

How do you "hide" a LT?  Again, I'm am going to wait.  Not strong?  He's very strong, but I'll give you he's not a dancing bear.  Here's another reason for pause, one of the most respected OL coaches in the League is presiding over a train wreck.  Did Campen forget how to coach an OL?  Bozeman has looked bad this year too and while Moton is still good, is not quite up to his par level of play.

Part of the problem....MAJOR part of the problem.

Because of last season.  One good year, one bad.  Recency bias is a real thing.  He's on a rookie deal. It would be a very Panther thing to do to flush a young, cheap LT because he's having a bad season on a historically bad team.

Just noticed your avatar, that explains a lot.... Interesting that you don't have such patience with our other young (no pun intended) players.
