BY's press conference today. His mindset is so impressive to me, it leaves no doubt he will do whatever it takes to be successful.

Veteran Andy Dalton got the first reps with the first-team offense in Monday’s OTA practice. Rookie Bryce Young ended up getting more of them. Via Joseph Person of TheAthletic.com, the first overall pick in the draft got the majority of the snaps with the first-team offense during his first full-squad offseason practice. It’s not unexpected. Coach Frank Reich recently said Young would end up getting more of the snaps with the first-team offense. The situation points to Young likely being the Week One starter. At some point, the goal will be to get him ready. Which means that, at some point, he’ll need to get all of the first-team reps. It’s a tough balance for a team. One one hand, the player must be prepared. On the other hand, other players might think the rookie is being given things he has not earned. The reality is that Young earned the starting job when the Panthers made him the first overall pick in the draft. The job now becomes getting him ready to do that which the Panthers believe he can do; otherwise, they wouldn’t have picked him. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/05/22/bryce-young-gets-majority-of-first-team-reps-in-first-ota-practice/

I hear you but you’re missed

We? Lol ok

Dude when will you get back to reporting again?

I am with you on this

I agree he didn’t get a fair shot last year but he will just have to show what he can do with third stringers and fight for a backup job.

That’s fine, I just think we will be middle of the table in conference and hopefully have a winning record. I don’t think the division will be as down this year and if Carr actually plays well, the Saints will be a tough out.

That’s probably it won’t happen until we go through a major renovation or build a new stadium that forces a reissue of PSL’s

Brown would have been a legend even in today’s NFL. RIP

Water under the bridge, but he's right, having the cap space benefit really helped. If Mingo can produce something like 700 yards this season, it would be more than worth the trade. Not to mention, it saved us a 2025 1st rounder.

And a crap QB can ruin careers. I think TMJ will shine with Bryce distributing the football

I think the point is to have a great atmosphere consistently, regardless of how the team plays. It can make a big difference, not only in the overall fan experience, but the performance of the team.

https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/gm-report/panthers-wide-receiver-group-is-under-construction Panthers Wide Receiver Group is 'Under Construction' Shawn Jefferson is learning his personnel during this phase of the offseason. SCHUYLER CALLIHAN 4 HOURS AGO A couple of years ago, former Panthers head coach Matt Rhule told reporters that the team's offensive line was "under construction" similar to I-85. And he was right. The line was in bad shape and needed a ton of work, including adding some new pieces. On Thursday, new Panthers wide receivers coach Shawn Jefferson used the same term. However, it's not because he believes this group doesn't have enough talent. It's more so about finding out how to use all the pieces to maximize the potential of the passing game. "We are a group that's under construction right now. That means everybody. We're under construction," Jefferson said. "We're trying to get the offense implemented, so we're in the building process -- the land-clearing process phase here. Everybody right now is in learning mode and trying to get used to what we want them to do. We're finding out what guys can do. It's part of our job as coaches to put it out there and see what these guys can do, then we can start building the blocks of how we want them, plug them in where we want them to be, and where they fit best according to their talent skillset." The one thing Jefferson is doing in this phase of the offseason is inserting guys in different spots, even some places they're not used to playing. It's how you find not only the right mix of who you want on the field but where. For example, DJ Chark has had a solid career as a X/Z receiver but he may get a couple of reps in the slot just to see what he can do. By doing this, you may discover that a player could raise his level of production simply by lining up in a different spot. But it's not just about creating individual production. It's also to keep defenses guessing. "We want to be different. We don't want to be just stagnant with people where people can just say, okay, they're going to play here or there. I want to move these guys around because it's an advantage to us. We're all about putting stress on the defense. If we got these guys in multiple positions, they don't know who's getting this ball. What defenses typically do is they say he's the 'X', he's the 'Z', they see these types of formations then they're doing that. But we don't want to do that. We want to be multiple. We want to cause some stress to the defense." With Adam Thielen, DJ Chark, Terrace Marshall Jr., Jonathan Mingo, Laviska Shenault, and Damiere Byrd, there's a lot of opportunity for Jefferson to get creative and do exactly what he set out to do - confuse the defense.

LOL - so many of you guys were overly optimistic with Rhule and even Rivera's latter years when I cautioned against it. Now when it's actually time to be optimistic, you want to be Debbie downers haha

Well the Supporters section would presumably know when to turn it up and when to be quiet

I don’t think they use noisemakers that much. It’s primarily all vocal
