Here's the full list.  

I don't think Allen is better than Rogers imo

Neither does Aaron Rodgers lol

Well what do you expect when you pretty much "opt out" of most of an NFL season. Let's just hope we're competitive this year and CMC plays with some iron balls

Don't forget about AJ bouye.  Watch the donte Jackson interview on "carolina blitz" YouTube channel. He gives high praises to AJ saying he can play any position in the secondary 

CMC stays healthy all season long

"He's a way better athlete than people give him credit for."

"The guy went for a 52 yard touchdown against the Denver Broncos.  Right up the middle.  Weaved through everybody."

And alot of people are forgetting the fact that he has Sean Ryan as a QB coach who is widely considered to be the best QB coach in the NFL right now.

Going from Cam f*cking Newton to a noodle armed crazy asshole like Teddy Bridgewater to a ruined loser like Sam Darnold makes me so sad. 

Damn pretty optimistic of you lol

My blueprint for the team would be young fast LBs with nothing to lose. Rhule likes grandpa LBs so we're polar opposites on how to build a team. I never would have brought in TB or Darnold either, but if this works I'll be thrilled. I only want the team to win.

Alot of people are forgetting the fact that Sean Ryan is the QBs coach though...who by the way is widely considered to be the best QBs coach in the NFL right now.

If Earl Thomas wears a helmet again, it'll be inside a padded room. Dude is GONE.

Lol damn shame too

Earl Thomas is probably the second best FS I've seen in my lifetime behind Ed Reed, but the guy has gone completely batshit crazy. Given that Fitts was still in Seattle when he went off the rails, I'd say that other than the Seahawks we're probably the least likely team in the league to sign him. Well, put the Ravens ahead of us too since that's where he REALLY went completely off the rails.

Yeah and his attitude outside of football was exactly what I was afraid of..... hypothetically if he got his poo together I think we would be the one team that would have the greatest chance of landing him 

What do y'all think if the Panthers signed KJ Wright or even earl Thomas?.....knowing the past relationship Scott fitterer had with these guys  ....

Good day ladies and gentlemen. Here are a few observations from minicamp after watching yesterday. Again, some things cannot be said due to team policies.

 

- The two positions that you can get the best feel for in OTAs are the receivers and corners. Those guys have very little contact to begin with. If I had to choose a group that won it would be the corners. This group is much improved over last season. Of course, Terrace Marshall and Shi Smith were not practicing, that may have helped. Coach Rhule remarked after practice that the corners also are better than advertised this offseason.

- TE Dan Arnold looks like the most fluid route runner and pass catcher since Greg Olsen. The guy just knows the soft spot of the zone and anticipates the ball being there with great hands to match. So much to be said for a player like that. I have no idea how well he blocks, but at the very least he could add something interesting to third downs. 

- I don't believe enough has been said about DaQuan Jones and Derek Brown playing next to each other. These dudes are big and athletic. I have a feeling once the pads are on they are going to create some havoc. 

- Jeremy Chinn is turning into the leader of this defense. He is a different guy on the sideline this season. Much more relaxed, talkative, and amped at the same time. 

- Sam Darnold has thrown some really nice quick passes on crossing routes. He has looked good overall, but I've noticed just the right amount of zip and great placement on those passes in particular. Nice, because those are some of the most difficult to defend.

- Grier had a better day. His only pick thrown was because the perfectly placed ball went right through the hands of the receiver. 

- Pretty much the entire day was team situational work. 11 on 11, here is the situation, now go score (or stop them from scoring). These are the most fun practices to watch, imo. There was a whole lot of killing the clock and getting the field goal off very quickly. Was actually pretty impressive.

 

If you have any specific questions I'll try to answer if I can.

 

 

Wow great stuff! Thanks for sharing! I've been telling people don't sleep on this defense this year. They kinda remind me of a hybrid much younger version of the 03 bucs and 01 ravens defense.  Very fast and athletic. There's probably 4 potential starters who can play multiple positions on defense 

My 3 bold predictions that I stand firmly by........

1) Carolina's defense will be top 10 defense 

2) Brian burns will be the 2021-22 NFL defensive player of the year 

3) Panthers make the playoffs and win at least one playoff game 

I'm basing this off of the fact that Panthers front 7 is extremely fast to go along with a much approved secondary. overall athletic defense with at least 4 players who can play multiple positions on defense. They will give opposing offensive coordinators nightmares
