Kaye seems to think Shi Smith is not standing out WR Shi Smith The Panthers went out of their way to stack the depth chart with receivers who could play in the slot this offseason. With Adam Thielen, DJ Chark, Johnathan Mingo and Damiere Byrd joining the position group, Smith was already facing an uphill battle to earn a job on the 53-man roster. Holdover receivers Terrace Marshall, Laviska Shenault and Derek Wright out-shined Smith during the offseason program. And while Smith provided the occasional impressive play in front of the media, he didn’t really take to the offense like his peers did during the five weeks of workouts. Smith’s special teams upside also took a major hit with the new kickoff rule. While he can return punts, Byrd and Blackshear can also thrive in that role. Smith needs to put together a phenomenal camp in Spartanburg to stay in a Panthers uniform.

Yeah you could argue that teams use that wr1 as a crutch. 2015 we had jags on the field and a rb rotation. Obviously we had Olsen at TE but a combo of Thielen and Hurst gives you that check down/red zone safety net. It's also arguably harder for teams to game plan against a team that spreads the ball out vs knowing Either DJ or CMC is getting the ball every snap

With teams more than likely keeping 3 qb's on the 53 after that new emergency qb rule i really don't see room for 7 Wr's. We need to keep extra cb's and O-line if anything considering current injuries.

The fact that Schnall is currently a minority owner of the Atlanta Hawks and the other guy was part of that GameStop stock thing is a cause for concern. These numb nuts with Kupcack and Clifford lol.

Which D Brown?

I think the mandatory mini camp is only 2 days, Monday was for physicals and stuff like that.

I suppose his gait wasn't the issue with his lack of development/usage previously, despite the excuse from the last coach

Bryce does look thicker in the legs, probably don't want him to get too stiff in the arms. I know he's getting the 1st team reps but I like how they're all cycling through the drills equally so there's less of a gap between how much coaching each guy is getting. The last staff seemed to make QB3/4 complete afterthoughts in every aspect during last camp until they just tossed them out there in preseason to freelance with scrubs

Was wondering why we haven't heard anything about him with Jaycee and Donte being out
