We're ranked 21st in pass pro....

According to Washington post stats, Jeff Otah is vital to this line, Byron Bell is meh an if I'm not correct he's the one who was allowed the hit on Cam in the NO game that banged up his shoulder. We also really need to upgrade the RG spot.

I think we are fine at RG. Get healthy and add Bell for depth.

RT, need to find a starting caliber RT to play and compete w/ Otah and keep on the roster.

[Ricky Spanish]

we get the schwartz back next year. We're not too shabby all things considered.

[Kurb]

Otah will be your 2012 starter.

Beyond that ? Might be a 2013 draft pick.

[Brooklyn Bully]

Otah will not be a Panther next season.

Damn I didn't mean to pie you, but why on earth would you think that? Hurney has already said it's was THEIR decision to IR him cause it would be a lingering issue. And it's better for him to strengthen it up.

[chknwing]

Otah traded for a washing machine.

Otah will not be a Panther next season.

he is cheap

it is a contract year for him

he is a stud when on the field

why exactly will he not be here next year?

Well for starters, why would he be a starter? He hasn't been healthy in two seasons, he has shown very little drive to get out there, and we have very little to go off of as to how solid he really is. That said, the same staff member who told me Godfrey would miss the final two games told be Otah is done. So I'm using those words to base my opinion.

I believe we keep Otah for next season.

The one I believe may be gone is Wharton. His cap hit is huge for a Guard.

[Woodcookedbbq]

Otah will get one more season to prove himself.

I think Otah is done in Carolina as well. Just not next season. Would make no sense to dump him before you get that last year out of him. Even if he doesn't start he would make a GREAT backup for a year.

Can't have enough OL talent.

He would be a starter cause he's a our 3rd best offensive lineman and doesn't open up like a revolving door letting defenders get shots at our QB.

Seems like Otah has been rehabing.
