I understand Byron Bell went through a very difficult situation in his life, I knew about the story when he was trying to make the team. But that does not excuse his horrible play as a lineman.

And he's more successful than you will ever be in life.

lol.... I like that. Its like when in singing competitions the contestants scream "Well you couldn't do it!" to the judges.

 

Fairly silly.

 

Perhaps, but even singing judges have experience in the industry and a technical understanding of what they're listening for. No matter how much football we watch as fans, none of us have a technical understanding of offensive line play outside of generic "hand placement/footwork" statements. Bell tries his best, the roster lacks alternatives, and the coaches and his teammates have confidence in him, and this interview seems to indicate his problems tend to be related to confidence more than anything. But it's pretty obvious he'll either have to continue to improve or his position will eventually be addressed as it is a weakness.

Except when the fat woman dressed as a pirate screams death metal into the microphone. Its pretty obvious then that she isn't good.

      Passing yards per game leaders

      I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
