Steve Logan's points on the Panthers game past weekend and future. Radio interview today on 99.9 in Raleigh. Paraphrased as best I could

[raleigh-panther]

1. Could not believe benjamin was not thrown to more

2. Point one was made in relation to Bersin failing on his route...why was Bersin the target there

3. Said one of the differences in championship teams is they had a punt and kick returners. Could not believe the Panthers did not address this in the offseason

4. Felt the Panthers were in decent shape for next year but tweaking was required including finding a decent returner. Discussion jokingly about Ginns one year contract being up and resigning him

5. Interestingly said the reason the Pamthers run the zone read so much has more to do with OL blocking deficiencies than Newton. Easier to hide those deficiencies in that scheme

6. Draft. No surprises. Same as most say on here

7. Asked what Cam should do in the offseason maybe trying what Kap is doing working with Werner and Logan said it couldn't hurt to work on 7 on 7s

8. Asked if Newton was worth the signing to long term. Unequivocally he said yes. Said in final QBR which his words just one metric of many, Newton ranked 14 out of 32 of the starting QBs

Again interesting to hear from someone who knows the Panthers and has been a coach

Who is Steve Logan?

Ginn is really on a one year deal for the Cards? if so. Bring that man back! PLEASE!

I wonder what the details are though because if I recall there were some rumors they might actually cut him during the preseason

I dunno. The news section of Google doesn't show any recent articles questioning his future.

Cards would be on the hook for $1.5m of unamortized signing bonus. His cap hit is $4m for next season, so the Cards would save $2.5m by releasing him ($3.25m if designated a post-June 1 cut).

 

$4m cap hit seems like a lot for a guy that put up a 14/190/0 stat line.

Love Steve Logan... smart dude. I remember being a big fan of his as a kid when he was ECU's head coach.

Just wanted to say this though... if cam currently ranks 14th in qbr, and we know for a fact he is physically more talented than any other qb in the league, imagine what he could do and where he would be in that respect, if he had an nfl-caliber line and receiving corps. If we get him some weapons, especially ones that don't struggle to get separation across the board, he is going to blow people's minds.

John Brown took his offensive snaps. He had a few big plays on special team but I remember one week Arians said something like 'I was so mad I was about to bench him but he came through in the end'.

thanks for the summary RP

 

I really enjoy listening to Logan - in addition to some real knowledge he is always good for a few laughs as well.
