Yesterday before practice I saw these two guys chatting.....

Which got me thinking about the current Miami Hurricanes connection for the Panthers.

 

Ken Dorsey was the QB of the 2001-2002 Hurricanes. He went undefeated in 2002 but lost the Championship game. Dorsey had both Jeremy Shockey and Kellen Winslow to throw to... interesting considering the Panthers are stacked at tight end this season. Dorsey should have great insight into QB-TE connections for Cam.

 

His offensive coordinator in Miami? None other than Rob Chudzinski , whose playbook remains somewhat intact for the Panthers. Chudzinski was influential in the Panthers hiring Dorsey as a pro scout in 2011.

 

Greg Olsen missed playing with Dorsey by one year, joining the Hurricanes in 2003. Olsen spent one year at Miami under then Offensive Coordinator Rob Chudzinski. Olsen went on to become a first round draft pick of the Chicago Bears in 2007. In 2011 Olsen joined the Carolina Panthers once again in Chudzinski's offense.

 

Dorsey is well liked within the Panthers organization, and I am told has a real future in the NFL Coaching ranks.

      Would you take a chance on Cam Ward?

      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!😂
