God forbid that J. Gross tests the F.A. Market and leaves. I don't think we will just let Peppers leave. He will get the Tag Regardless of what J. Gross. Hopefully we don't find out.

I know that Frank Omiyale only started one game but he did play in a total of 10 games for us. The one game he started he did OK. Granted he is not the Caliber that Gross is but he could step in. So if we lose J. Gross. Frank stays.

I also think that push comes to shove Wharton moves back to LT and we fill the interior with someone else. I am sure we will.

Go Panthers

Frank did well when he was on the field. I bet the FO has plans to offer him a new contract however I bet they wait until after midnight on the first day of free agency in order to have more cap space at that point in time.

Or cut those already targeted and sign him as soon as they do. I don't see us letting both walk though.

Go Panthers

Wharton will stay at guard and Omiyale or Bridges will play RT with Otah moving to left...at least that's how they will start camp. They traded a first rounder for Otah because they think he's a franchise LT. If it goes south, the tackles will swap...but I don't see that happening.

Not saying you are wrong at all because it could happen, but I am not sure that is likely because I recall their saying during the year that Omiyale needed to be playing only @ LT. I admit that puzzled me because theoretically a LT should be able to swap to RT with some prep, though I realize that some are far better on one side than they are on the other. I agree about Wharton needing to stay @ guard though. I don't think he's as bad as some seem to think as a LT, but he is a better guard.

You could be right about Omiyale...he's a tad light for a RT and possibly not as strong as he needs to be, though that can be changed if he has the work ethic ;)

I don't remember much drop off when he started at LT that one game. And throughout the times he has come in, the line still played well with each other. I would hope we keep him as a back up LT... (Behind Gross, meaning we get him signed, and let Otah stay on the right)

From what I have read it would appear that is has all the skills necessary for a left tackle. He is athletic, has good feet, and good balance. He has decent strength and really just lacks playing time. When he was with Atlantic folks said he had a nasty streak in practice. Should fit right in with the other guys. At 6 4 and 310, he seems the right weight for the position.

Wharton would move to LT, and Otah stays at RT where he's suited. There's no doubts about this. You don't let Gross walk for Frank Omiyale. Omiyale's a good backup, but you don't make that move.

You could, of course, re-sign Hangartner for the LG spot, but I'd like someone who generates more push. There's a pretty big difference between Kalil and Hangartner in push (and no, you don't move Kalil over).

      PFF names Panthers QB Bryce Young the best deep passer

      By trucpfan · Posted

      Arm is weak? Another useless complaint who gives a flying f… if he makes all the throws accurately idgaf about arm strength. Let’s dive deeper into your complaint no zip on the ball show me a play where his lack of zip cost us anything. Show me a play where his weak arm cost us a completion or because he doesn’t have a Josh Allen cannon he didn’t make the play he needed to make. His 40 yarder down the field to XL two weeks ago was a got d…. dime his throw to AT in the end zone was a dime, his throw to XL 3 weeks ago that the man pulled out his hand was a dime about 30+ yards. What about the one handed grab to AT was a rocket arm needed? You’re logic is so self absorbed your judging the man off what you want him to have and that’s just outright goofy, not judging him off performance not off the talent he’s going against not even the situation he’s facing ex..(4th quarter down by 4 needed a TD) in which he’s outperformed all expectations vs KC vs Giants vs Tampa nobody Gives a f…. about him not having a rocket he’s noodle arm in the last 4-5 weeks has him rated as top 3 QB I think that’s way more Important then satisfying fans need for our QB to possess a cannon these complaints are getting too notch outlandish and quite embarrassing go be a dam Bills fan so your QB can have the strongest arm in the league yet he’s won nothing significant since he’s been in the dam league besides your heart he’s won your heart by having a rocket arm we gotta see what’s his consolation prize for winning arm of the year award. This is just dumb they benched him to help him because he has all the tools but wasn’t playing up to par benched him he  focused on his technique and came back and started doing what was expected what crow would they even be eating this is ignorant.

      Cleaning up Fitterer's Mess

      By Seltzer · Posted

      https://x.com/avl_mike/status/1863950938467189041 Incredible job by Brandt Tilis. Maybe Tepper has finally hired the right group and will stay out of the way. For reference, Dead Money for the past few seasons: 2021: $53.9M 2022: $52.4M 2023: $62.1M 2024: $69.3M 2025: $1.9M All that waste and ineptitude for 17 wins over the past 63 games... Fitterer deserves to be extradited back to CLT to stand trial for war crimes against this franchise. The one caveat is we'll never know how much meddling Tepper actually did, but the results speak for themselves... one of the worst GM tenures in NFL history. Look at this nonsense from this season alone in dead money: Von Bell: $9.9M Hayden Hurst: $9.8M Donte Jackson: $9.7M Diontae Johnson: $9.4M Bradley Bozeman: $7.2M Justin Houston: $3.8M DJ Chark: $3.1M Just such organizational dysfunction, from top to bottom. These weren't even good players. That 2025 dead money number will go up some with the probable release of Miles Sanders, Ian Thomas, etc., but nothing even remotely close to the sheer recklessness and stupidity of the Fitterer Era. Hopefully, we will look back in a few years and see this as the moment where we started to reemerge from the abyss... One can hope... Keep Pounding!!

      Not much. Most are still in denial.
