Ouch!  I don't know much about Wharton.  Is he a reliable back up?

 

The injury didn't just happen.  Wharton was our starter last week.  He is better than Amini.  Amini has some upside Wharton doesn't but  isn't a consistent player yet.

The move means Panthers like their OL depth and wanted a proven special teams player, which Williams is.

 

Gettlemen loves this OL!!!!!  No worries!

 

Meanwhile, I bet RR goes to bed every night cursing this dude out.

The good news, from a Panther perspective, is that he will likely draw Kendall Langford rather than Michael Brockers.  Brockers has really come on in the last couple of weeks and looked unstoppable last week against the Texans OL.

wharton was one of the better LGs in the league and had been a starter there and at LT.

 

the old GM released him because he'd rather overpay for RBs and LBs than keep a good RG around. wharton was due a bunch of money and wanted him to restructure/take a pay cut. wharton didnt want to so he was let go. he got picked up by the bengals but then got put on IR during his first preseason game with them.

 

he was part of the OL here while it was at it's best in the non-steroid era. he's been out a year and just getting back into the swing of things, but he did very well last week. he's quite familiar with the guys on either side of him so the chemistry is there.

 

basically we don't take a step backward with inserting wharton there. like others have said, not as much upside as silatolu, but more experience and better chemistry with the OL.

      What's your confidence level in Canales?

      By flagfootballcoach28 · Posted

      Some of you who are not sold on Canales are insane. His main purpose was to turn around Bryce Young’s career and he did that. Of all of the teams in the top 10 of the NFL draft, we were the team that was consistently showing the most fight week in and week out. Our players never quit on the season. The offense which he is responsible for took a huge step forward compared to last year, despite the lack of skill talent  that we have. It was our defense that was a mess. That’s one of my critiques on Canales. He should’ve gotten rid of Evero and hired his own DC that shares the same vision. But as a whole, I can’t see how people are not pleased with what Canales did with this team. I’d give him an 9/10

      QB School: Bryce Young vs Falcons

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      One of the first thoughts after the game yesterday was that JT was going to jump all over it. He's been more favorable about BY from the beginning, and so yesterday must've felt like Christmas.

      Mock Draft from the 33rd Team

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Maybe, but they were always going to be an impossible team to accurately mocked right now. They have an absurd amount of cap room, what they need right now will not be what they need come draft day.  They can make multiple big splash signings and even make trades for players who need new contracts and their teams don't want to give it to them. OT and WR might be their two biggest needs right now, but it wouldn't be unreasonable to think they could go into the draft needing neither of them.  I think a LT will be their top FA priority, also think they're going to make a big offer to Higgins, and I could see them being a team in the running to trade for someone like DK Metcalf as they need a WR like him and they have the cap space to give him a big new contract.
