Byron Bell is not as good as Otah at all.

Welp.

anyone surprised by this? otah is hurt and it he'll have to deal with it the rest of the season?

shocker.

[rayzor]

matt kalil, please.

[CRA]

seriously....we need to scrap this thinking.

i don't care how much of a beast otah is when healthy. it doesn't matter because he isn't healthy. he's hurt more often that not and he misses more games than he plays in. when he comes back from injury he's always trying to play catch up and when he finally gets caught up he gets hurt....AGAIN!

otah is worthless.

Nobody was saying Thomas Davis was worthless at the start of the season........

Otah is a beast. He is also a very large human......with injury issues. When he gets ont he field he is the complete opposite of worthless.

Draft matt Kalil

Trade Otah for a 2nd or 3rd rounder, or for a DT

Move Bell to RG

Move Gross to RT

Starting OL = Kalil(Matt), Wharton, Kalil(Ryan), Bell, Gross

Offense = awesome

Hopefully then, Mom and Sister Kalil move to Charlotte too

[rayzor]

if he were on the field more it would matter. he is worthless because he can't stay on the field.

where are all the people saying we were ok on the OL and bell is good enough to start?

reality hit.

I'm saying Bell could start at RG next yr, he's still young too

[FugginPoo]

Otah is really looking like we drafted a Lemon, I predict a 5yr max career for him.

Thats funny... When the guy handled Clay pretty good... I heard how good he was for a rook on here but after Edwards ate his lunch in the 2nd half.... Edwards suck and he is not that good...lol

I've been saying for weeks all the people gushing over Bell on this forum are delusional. The Panthers hardly ran to his side against ATL unless it was an outside run with a guard pulling. They have zero confidence in him as a run blocker. And clearly he doesn't have the speed to handle a pass rusher on the road when the defense can get a quick jump. Otah's injuries woes suck, but fans are stupid enough to pull against guys like Otah instead of hoping he gets it together.

Where was this when he handled Clay Mathews? Bell had one off game, ya'll act like he's been the starter since the beginning and you're calling for Otah now..Come on...

How did he handle Matthews? So far, the Carolina game has been Clays best game as a pass rusher this year.

He had a total of eight Qb disruptions (sacks, pressures etc) Bell was responsible for five of those.

Bell had a horrific game yesterday, but Bell is about 80% of what, a first round pick, Otah is at his best. Otah can't touch the field. Even Cam has had bad games as a rookie. Strange with all of the hate. I focus in on OL during games (b/c the skill players can be seen at any point), Otah is not all that...esp. against the pass. If he could ever get his sorry butt on the field you would see.

I'm the first to say Otah can play well, but he is as inconsistent as Bell & this is Bell's second full game in the NFL ever....as an UFA! I really am for sticking with Bell & getting him soem reps. A player is no value to a team if he can't play. Otah's weakness at not playing thru injuries is just sad for a man of his size & power.
