Fortunately I was able to come see these events, as I am rarely in the Charlotte area. I tried to pay attention as much as possible but, I didn't really go to these events with the intent to analyze. I will post what I have noticed.

Kelvin is the real deal. Zod has posted good pictures and coverage which describe to you how good he is. However, until you see it in person you have no idea what a specimen he is. His touchdown against the Bills happened right in front of mine and my nephews' seats. It was really impressive to see. He also was routinely pulling the ball down one handed in warm ups too. Today at practice was the only time I have seen him not try and it was on a position drill where the ball was thrown really low. He stuck his hand out and hit the ball.

Tavarres King is impressive. He beat Godfrey today in position drills and seems to have a knack for getting open. He is nowhere near as polished as Avant on Cotcherry though. Those two have tremendous footwork and run crisp routes. King is on par with Bersin who impresses every time I have seen him. During the game he was able to get separation a few times but didn't get many looks. Today in practice he looked sharp.

As for Cotcherry today, I posted in the practice thread after he went out today, he just landed hard on the ball. He was fine and came back in.

Norman is hot/cold. His play during one on one drills was terrible. Avant and Kelvin beat him. I think he was also the one that got burned by Marcus Lucas on a double move but, I can't remember. He did intercept Cam later on though, showing good ball skills.

Today, Cam had some near misses on overthrows to Underwood and Kelvin. The overthrow to Underwood wasn't a true overthrow. Had 11 extended his arms he would have made the catch but, failed to do so.

Our first team defense won the two minute drill at the goal line. This was when Cam overthrew Benjamin on fourth down. Before the snap Davis was hyping up the defense by screaming "win this down."

Our offensive tackles are as hot/cold as Norman. Bell looked good vs Buffalo but, gave up a couple of would be sacks to 76 today. I hope what I saw during the game was better than what I saw today. Although, neither time they could generate a push in the run game. Stewart looked surprisingly strong. He is obviously we'll rested.

If I remember anything else, I will post. Again, I am sorry for not being too analytical with it but, I needed to get my football fix as I will miss most of this season and won't be back in Charlotte until this time next year.

One last time I want to thank Zod for his coverage of tc this year.

      Would you take a chance on Cam Ward?

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I think where they would be picked if redrafted before both classes have played enough football to really tell.  Baker literally looked like a washout with us after Cleveland gave up on him, then turned world beater with the Rams, got a prove it deal with the Bucs and has looked awesome ever since. Asking where Ward would’ve went had he went in ‘24 is just stupid.  I’m no GM, but I wouldn’t have taken Williams #1 either.  I would’ve taken Joe Milton way higher than he went.  I think Shadeur should’ve been a first round pick this year.  Point being, opinions are like buttholes, everybody has one.  It’s my opinion that Ward has that “something special.”  I get that feeling that he’ll be an even better pro than he was a collegiate QB because of whatever that quality is.  I think he’s gonna surprise a lot of people, especially being such an under appreciated first overall pick.

      Where do we get our T-shirts and hats? Pretty sure this is the first championship ever in professional basketball or football in Charlotte!

      Nice turnaround for Kon.  I’m still a little worried about his ability to create for himself and others, but it was SL.  Come regular season, he will playing a much different role and shots will be there for him.  He showed some reason for hope - and not just him, but the whole squad.  I suppose for the first time ever, we have drafted and acquired enough young talent that we actually not only competed for once, but won the whole thing in summer league.     Kon, Simpson, and Sims made all the difference.  Almost every year prior I felt we always struggled because we usually didn’t have a floor general/real PG to get us into offense.  This was such a breath of fresh air.  And look at us!  We finally are champions!😂
