GETTING TO KNOW …

Mackenzy Bernadeau, guard

Background: One of the final players taken in the 2008 draft when Panthers took him in the seventh round with the 250th overall pick. … Played at Bentley (Mass.), an NCAA Division III college in his hometown of Waltham, Mass. … Was on Panthers' active roster all season, but didn't play in any of the five games he dressed for.

What you need to know: With two backups (Geoff Hangartner and Frank Omiyale) gone from last season's deep and talented offensive line, Bernadeau is one of the Panthers' young players who might be needed if injuries strike. … Bernadeau won a strong man competition in the offseason.

BY THE NUMBERS

13 - Total runbacks for touchdowns by rookie Larry Beaver at Division III Wesley (Del.), an NCAA all-divisions record.

50 - Consecutive starts by rookie offensive tackle Patrick Brown at Central Florida.

51 - Career touchdowns by receiver Steve Smith, most in Panthers history.

OBSERVATIONS

Monday night's practice was held in relatively cool temperatures. That won't be the case Tuesday, when another hot one (mid- to upper-90s) is expected in Spartanburg.

Jake Delhomme had a rough couple of plays in the night practice against the nickel defense, sandwiching a completion between a bail-out toss out of bounds and a long interception by Chris Gamble.

Rookie defensive tackle Everette Brown excels at drills that require quickness and running. He blazed around a tackling-dummy slalom course during the evening practice. He'll rely on that speed and quickness when the season starts.

Linebacker Thomas Davis, who missed another day of practice with a sprained knee, was running on it without any noticeable limp.

QUOTING

“Everybody is in better shape than me.” Linebacker Jon Beason, who missed a week of practice with a hamstring injury.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
