If you had Mike Remmers in the pool, you win.
Unless you’re Cam Newton, of course.
Panthers coach Ron Rivera said Remmers would start at right tackle this week, via Bill Voth of Black and Blue Review.
Who is Mike Remmers, you might ask? (And trust me, you did.)
Remmers was one of the Vikings’ final cuts this preseason. He was on the Rams practice squad since then. He’s been a Panther since Oct. 28, and was also a Charger (where he played his one career game) and a Buccaneer and a Bronco at different points in his career. He was originally an undrafted rookie from Oregon State. He likes to hunt moose in his spare time and his favorite color is blue (both those facts are totally made up).
The Panthers are clearly desperate at the position, as they have been all year.
His inclusion into such an illustrious club means the Panthers will have started seven different combinations of offensive linemen in as many weeks.
That, as much as anything, explains why they’re 3-7-1.
