Rivera: Webb probably staying

Per J.Jones. Rivera basically admitted that Webb will now be on the final 53. Says he wasn't overly concerned and expects Cam ready for week one. No hysteria yet of course and Rivera is usually honest about things. Research says that these things take a few weeks to heal so this offensive line better man up and keep him off the ground. This also probably takes away his option to run (not to mention the healing ankle). That is my main concern. If he can't run that takes away a big part of his game and he isn't proficient as a pocket passer. If he can't run and is forced to hang in the pocket holding the ball for six seconds, it won't be pretty. A few bad shots to those ribs could really set him back. Hopefully the coach s correct and it is nothing to be concerned about. Going to watch Anderson and Webb closely next week .

Well considering he has basically the same skill sets as Cam (without the cannon, athletic ability and size of course).

At least he can run and we won't lose that aspect of the game and has a decent arm.Cam light so to speak.

    • Coaches can't mentor, they coach, they are two entirely different things, and your coaches can also only do so many things at one time.  When they're running a drill, the vets are pulling the young guys aside after their reps and giving tips while waiting for the drill to reset. You do also realize that for the most part, players are only around the coaches in the film room and on the field, coaches aren't in the locker room other than just before the game and at half.  That's another place someone like Thielen shines, he's always been a pro's pro, he's going to take these young WRs under his wing and team them how you go about being an NFL player. That's not stuff coaches do, you NEED the vets for it and Thielen has embraced the role.  When you have a guy who made his career on doing the little things right, and he is willing to be that vet mentor to a group of young WRs in their 1st or 2nd year that you hope to be your future 1-4, then he's worth every penny we're giving him this year.
    • Why in Minnesota? That's bizarre. Not like we have a vet WR who played his college ball and the majority of his NFL ball in Minnesota that a few room temperature IQ Panthers fans want to poo on who was obviously brought in every bit as much to mentor young WRs as much as he was to play who has still managed to put up decent numbers in awful offenses in the twilight of his career. Anyone who thinks the Panthers haven't gotten everything out of Thielen that they signed up for shouldn't be taken seriously.
