Those are the third best odds of the four divisional teams, which is how I take that to mean a third place finish for the Panthers. Without getting side tracked on whether those two things actually mean the same thing Kawann Short Jersey , I would normally give you a homer inspired ‘They are wrong’ response. After last season’s second half nosedive, my inner Homer is not feeling so vocal.Has anyone figured out what exactly the eff happened last season? Well I know what happened, what I do not know is why it happened. Has there ever been more of a penultimate game in Panthers regular season history then the Week 10 52-21 waxing by the Steelers? The Panthers season went straight downhill from there with only a final game win against the Saints’ second team saving a 0-8 skid. There were things that were just not normal about that game and the lasting effect it had on the team. On the Panthers’ opening drive Vernon Butler Color Rush Jersey , they drove the field methodically and scored a touchdown to take the lead. What a great start to a game I knew would be a difficult road game. As you well remember, the Steelers scored on their very first play on a long touchdown pass and it was game over. The quick touchdown appeared to deflate not only the defense but the offense as well. That is not normal for the Panthers.What is also not normal is second half of season collapses by the Panthers since Rivera took the reins. Rivera prides himself on being able to get a team to forget about last week and focus on the game at hand. His team usually comes ready to play especially in December when it matters. If not for the aforementioned gift from the Saints in the season finale, the Panthers would have went 0-5 in December. In the span of eight weeks everything we thought we knew about Ron Rivera coached teams went out the window. So now Cam Newton Color Rush Jersey , I wonder if Ron Rivera is in the hot seat going into the 2019 season. I do not think any of the history matters to new owner David Tepper who is now focusing all of his energy on turning around the franchise. I think that equates to a short lease for Rivera and probably general manager Marty Hurney as well. When I say ‘short’ I mean at least the 2019 season. I do not see Tepper as the kind of owner to make a midseason coaching change… outside of a horrible start. Opening the season against the NFC champion Rams gives the Panthers and Rivera a chance to put last season behind them.If you are feeling a rebound season for the Panthers then you could multiply your money nicely, just place a wager. Bet $20 and win a cool $100, it is that simple. On the other hand being a Panthers homer after the 2018 season is not so easy. There isn’t enough depth at the offensive tackle position to go around."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Keep Sounding PodcastPanthers 2019 NFL DraftCSR Film RoomIf the Panthers want to draft an offensive tackle Michael Palardy Jersey , they need to do it earlyNew,19commentsThere isn’t enough depth at the offensive tackle position to go around. ESTShareTweetShareShareIf the Panthers want to draft an offensive tackle, they need to do it earlyJeremy Brevard-USA TODAY SportsThe Carolina Panthers need an offensive tackle. They haven’t had a reliable anchor on either end of the line since Jordan Gross retired. Daryl Williams played well on the right side two years ago and Taylor Moton bettered that last season https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Sam-Mills-Jersey , but Williams is a free agent and it’s yet to be determined if Moton can handle the left side. Matt Kalil is currently in line to start next season at left tackle, and we know how that goes. The Panthers will probably look to address the position in the draft. If they’re serious about finding a tackle of the future, they’ll have to nab one early. I looked at players selected at or after the Panthers picks in each round in the ten drafts between 2008 and 2017 (I left last season’s rookies out of it). I only looked at the first three rounds of the draft because rounds four through seven tend to be a crap shoot regardless of position. Below is a look at how offensive tackles have panned out compared to the positional average in the first three rounds of the last ten drafts. Note that AV/Year is Pro Football Reference’s Approximate Value divided by the amount of years since the player was drafted. Offensive tackles tend to fare better over the course of their careers than other positions selected in the first and second rounds. Nearly half of the first round tackles taken at or after the 16th pick in the last ten drafts have started at least 75% of their team’s games https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Christian-Mccaffrey-Jersey , compared to just 30% for other positions. Over half of those tackles have been primary starters for three quarters of their career. Getting a starting caliber offensive tackle in the first round is a pretty sure bet. Guys like Duane Brown, Anthony Castonzo, and Taylor Decker have gone in this range. The second round also has an above average hit rate https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Daryl-Williams-Jersey , but it falls off a cliff in the third round. Joe Barksdale is the only player listed as an offensive tackle to start at least half his team’s games after being selected in the back half of the third round. There are several tackles projected to go in the middle of the first round. Barring an unforeseen fall by a blue chip player, an offensive tackle will likely be the safest pick for the Panthers at No. 16.
