ITT we discuss the offensive line

[Mage]

If it's only a one year deal it's not a bad investment.

 

And what kind of a team do you think Wharton transforms our team into exactly?

If we are going to be good, we are going to be good regardless of Wharton or not.  The same applies the other way around.  Wharton is a 32 year old guard coming off a season ending injury and he wasn't good anymore before he left.  He offers us very little regardless of if he is better than what we have right now.

 

And I am not sold at all that the Wharton I saw playing LG in 2011 is better than the Williams I see playing RG in 2013.

That's find Mage, you can have your opinion. I have no intentions of getting into an argument tonight.

However, when your franchise quarterbacks' health depends on the offensive line, don't act like it's such a stupid idea to upgrade it.

[Seltzer]

Not going to pretend I know the perfect solution but I have to believe that with Bruce Campbell being out 2-3 of the 8-9 Olinmen they will carry are not currently on the roster.

I never said don't upgrade the offensive line.  Please read my posts. 

 

Signing Travelle Wharton is not going to somehow make me feel any better about our offensive line or Newton's health.  Can we stop acting like Wharton is the second coming of Hutchinson?  If this was Brandon Moore, I would feel differently.  But Wharton was trash in 2011.  People seem to overlook this.  He is coming off a season ending injury and hasn't participated in anything recently.  His "strength" beforehand was run blocking anyway, at least if I remember correctly.  

 

He sucks.  Signing him is not going to make Newton feel any better about himself in the pocket.  Our offensive line is just full of guys who excel (or for better word, are better at) at run blocking a lot more than pass blocking, and that includes Kalil.

I agree signing Wharton is not the end-all be-all to the Oline issues, but the Panthers need depth along with the fact only 2 of the 5 positions right now are even above average

Don't worry guys.

2014 Draft Class:

Jake Matthews

Taylor Lewan

Cyrus Kouandjio

James Hurst

Cyril Richardsom

Gabe Jackson

Etc.

Oh don't forget about those CB/WR prospects. Crazy!

[top dawg]

I wasn't impressed, and, to be frank, it was reminiscent of last year's nightmare.  The hog mollies looked like hog follies on more than one occasion.

We just need to pick up a vet RG after the cut to 53 and we'll be fine.

There have been too many years we have said this. This Hurney cluster fug is the biggest problem for our team.

every week we are either going to win the superbowl or land the number one draft pick by october. preseason spawns more reactionaries than any single game during the regular season.

On my calendar, the Annual Hyperbole Festival comes right after the season opener.

I think that's the biggest event of it's kind. Preseason isn't far behind though.

All I want this year is to make the Playoffs. Show that we are capable of being a competitive team. From tonight's game, we got a long way to go.

We have been competitive ever since Rivera got here. Only 1-3 games where we got blown out. The season imo rests on the OL and Cam.
