So... Is Bell the starter now?

[bleys]

with all the competition, and knowing what Rivera himself has said, I would have to assume the best man for the job will earn a starting spot.

Maybe Matt Reynolds is showing some promise as well?

Bruce Cambell has a chance. I'm not to worried because Cam showed he could get the job done without an elite line.

That is the gospel truth bro. Cam didn't have an elite line like Brees had and he still mange to break Manning passing rookie record and rushing record for QBs as well. But a good oline would help to keep Cam from been hit all the time. But overall Cam has proven he can do it with a decent oline.

I'm sorry, but Bell was terrible both games vs ATL. And he allowed the sack, that Cam was slow to get up from to his shoulder vs NO.

it's between bell and campbell IMO

Did I miss something? Bell has been a starter since last year..

I doubt Rivera is making final decisions based on last year.. especially considering players grow from year to year.

No one said he didn't have terrible games. He was still solid throughout the season. Plus the guy is a rookie undrafted. What do you expected. The guy should better this coming year with a full year under his belt and a full training camp like Fue and Mcclain. Time will tell.

Byron Bell, Bruce Campbell, Garry Williams, Lee Ziemba. Let the best man win.

I believe we will look at FA. Bell is alright and Cam did good with him at RT, but I would prefer a tackle that will limit Cam's scrambles. Just because Cam can do that in order to compensate for Bell doesn't mean I want him to continue doing that.

On what grounds?

I remember we all believed that DT would be addressed in FA or through the draft 5 months ago. None of that happened. I believe they're riding with what we got now, if no one steps up, next years draft is going to be where that RT emerges from.

On the grounds of what I said beyond the first sentence.

He had one of the worst ratings for his position last year in the NFL. The fact that he wasn't drafted is not a plus. It makes a sentimental story, but does nothing on Sundays to help the team. My guess is the Panthers are sitting back waiting for someone to get cut.
