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?

      Getting any level of competition and cohesion out of this roster is a job well done.

      Not sure if anyone else is watching this D1-AA championship game but I don't know if these receivers have NFL athleticism but they got HANDS. These boys can flat out CATCH. This is a good football game.

      People on here are wrong all the time. I mean some of our best draft picks people didn't like initially due to various reasons. On the other hand there have been a multitude of decisions made by people who are paid very well to know what they're doing that some Panthers fans here saw as a mistake a mile away. Well look man let's put all the chips on the table. Because your grievance is particularly about the QB position. The Panthers have had only two long term starting franchise QB's in 30 years. Thirty years. Two. This fanbase has seen a hell of a lot of poor to mediocre QB play and even short lived fairy tales like the Kyle Allen win streak or going back even further Matt Moore. As far as Darnold and Mayfield goes I think they are certainly overachieving but I don't think anyone here that was critical of either of them were wrong. They both had a heaping portion of humble pie here that has served them greatly now. Mayfield in particular because when he first got here he was still a cocky idiot. Darnold at least kept his head down and did his job for the most part. But I have a hard time seeing either of them going far in the playoffs because in the midst of some of their best games I've seen the same flawed QB's. Darnold is no Nick Foles let's be real with one another here. Baker specifically looked like hot garbage against our defense in Charlotte recently. And those best teams in the playoffs have all that on film and damn well know about it too if average fans like us can see it.
