Pat Yasinskas, of ESPN.com, reports C Ryan Kalil said he believes OT Jordan Gross should go to the Pro Bowl this season. "It starts with Jordan Gross," Kalil said. "He's been living up to his franchise tag. He's been doing a great job so far. He really needs to go to a Pro Bowl. If he doesn't go to the Pro Bowl this year, the system is flawed because he is a monster out there."

Every unit seems extremely tight knit this year. I saw an article at work written a day before thanksgiving, with different players and what they were Thankful for. Jarrett said he was thankful to be a Carolina Panthers and talked about how thankful he was for ALL his team mates. Maybe he actually does understand Smith being so hard on him was only because the potential he see is him

A great line isn't always full of "stars", they usually are more than the sum of their parts. The best OLs are the ones that stay healthy and intact player wise for awhile (ie Colts until this year, NYG, etc). The key thing this year is that the backups have been filling in very nicely.

Gross is having his best year as a pro. And surprise surprise, it's at the LT position, which many, including myself, thought he could never be the LT that we need. Seems to me he is doing better than anybody else we've had at the position. Not only that, but he's a leader, and remains healthy.

Pay the man.

    • Everyone wants to know what happened to Hunter Renfrow. He went from the Pro Bowl in 2021 to an afterthought in 2022 and 2023 to out of the league in 2024.  Renfrow ow is attempting a comeback with the Panthers. “It’s just trying to get back, trying to get healthy, trying to do something I love,” Renfrow told Darin Gantt of the team website when asked about a year out of the game. “I enjoyed other parts of life. We had our second daughter, so enjoying that and just wanting to make sure if I’m going to come back and give my time and attention to something that I was going to be all in on it.” Renfrow, 29, revealed that he has dealt with a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis, which left him with weight loss, fatigue and high fever. It’s a reason he did not play last season. Instead, Renfrow spent a year consulting with doctors and getting the condition under control. “It kicked my butt pretty good,” Renfrow said. “Last year, I fluctuated in weight. I went down to 150 pounds. I had like seven straight days of 103-degree fevers. It’s tough to play when you’re not feeling great.” He now weighs 187 with a goal of a playing weight of 185. “It’s a weird feeling. It makes you grateful for the times that you do feel good,” Renfrow said. “It makes you grateful for the opportunities that you’ve had, and when you feel like you’ve been blessed with some skill to go out there and perform, it makes you not want to waste the opportunity that you have. And that was one of the reasons why I wanted to come back and play.” In five seasons, Renfrow has 269 receptions for 2,884 yards and 17 touchdowns. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/hunter-renfrow-a-health-challenge-led-to-time-away-from-football  
    • I am feeling optimistic for sure. But at this point in time in Panthers fandom talk is cheap and seeing is believing.
