blacklabel Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Former 4th overall pick in 2012, never lived up to it. He's just not good. His brother is better but he hung up the cleats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddyjj Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Have to believe OBD knew this and went ahead with Ty Nsekhe signing given Kalil didn't play for most of 2018 and was one of worst LTs in NFL after big FA signing by Gettelman in 2017 in Carolina. MATT KALILT, UNSIGNED FREE AGENT Panthers released OT Matt Kalil. It's a post-June 1 designation, which creates $7.25 million in cap space. It was a necessary, expected move after Kalil missed 2018 with an unexplained knee issue. The injury washout came on the heels of a truly dreadful 2017 where Kalil's play regressed even further, and he was one of the worst tackles in the league. Kalil's 2017 signing was an abject disaster for ex-GM Dave Gettleman. The Panthers will be moving forward with Taylor Moton and Daryl Williams at tackle. Four months shy of his 30th birthday, Kalil is in danger of washing out of the league. RELATED: Carolina Panthers SOURCE: Jourdan Rodrigue on Twitter Mar 14, 2019, 4:05 PM Pass on this dude please.

Howe does OBD knowing or not knowing Kalil was to be cut have anything to do with the decision to sign Ty Nsekhe? So you think they would have not signed TN if they knew Kalil was going to be cut and then sign Kalil instead??

So you think they would have not signed TN if they knew Kalil was going to be cut and then sign Kalil instead?? Given that OBD has sources in Carolina its very possible this info ruled out signing Williams at RT or Kalil at LT given their 2018 injury history and Kalil's inability to play at an acceptable level. The info would have been used to build their board for FA targets, and OBD obviously valued Ty Nsekhe over both the Carolina OTs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is just that the level of consistent athleticism they face at the Pro Level becomes overwhelming. Once teams find an athletic weakness they probably just exploit it to no end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The linemen they chose were versatile guys who can play more than one position. That’s apparently the board they built. Kalil and Williams only play one position. This Carolina connection stuff is way overblown. The front office there is totally revamped from Beanes days there and I would doubt he has any real inside info there any other GM doesn’t have. I doubt he calls Rivera and asks questions on players. Morse is obviously locked in to start but all those others signed are versatile players who can play multiple positions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, as mentioned in a recent discussion about O-line play, many college teams are running the spread where an O-lineman only has to hold off his defender for a short time.

MrEpsYtown Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Yeah this guy is a warning to all the Jonah Williams lovers that want to take him in the top ten. Khalil was a really good college tackle who had some flaws in his game, but was considered the next big thing. Really athletic and all, but he struggled with elite rushers and he was a bit light in the pants, so he was mediocre in the NFL. Their combine numbers are very close, but Khalil was an inch or two taller, has longer arms, and is stronger. Just like Robert Gallery and Luke Joeckel, that's what you are getting with Jonah Williams. He's more of a late first round guy for me. He is not elite, therefore you should take him in the top ten. Take an elite defensive guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 That guy that posted that we didn't sign any Panthers this FA just jinxed us. Was never a big fan of M. Khalil, it seems like he just doesn't want to play football but wants to get paid. I think taking a OT that is a 2nd or 3rd rd prospect that has a amazing combine that pushes them into the top 10 is risky. Taking a LT like Jonah Williams who might be the most fundamentally sound LT that I have ever seen and proved it by playing against top competition is a easy pick at 9. His intelligence, understanding and awareness of his craft are impressive and he is outstanding in pass protection. I think in 2 years this guy will be a top 5 LT.
