Carolina Panthers rookie camp


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

Rookie Camp is this Friday and Saturday.

A first look at the rookies, drafted and undrafted, and also the guys invited to try out.

I remember Kelvin's rookie camp vividly, will be interesting to see how Funchess performs in comparison.

We have a few solid weeks of actual Panthers news until the 6 weeks or so of dead air before training camp.

I'm trying to temper my expectations, but in regards to the offense, you cannot deny that Funchess was drafted into a pretty ideal situation all things considered.

 

He will be working not only with one of the better WR coaches in the NFL in Ricky Proehl, but a savvy veteran in Greg Olsen, and Kelvin Benjamin who at one point was a ROTY candidate last season. Not to mention he will be getting some much needed reps with Cam Newton. Add in the addition of OT Daryl Williams, and there is plenty to smile about moving forward.

Yeah the practices are closed. I'll be there to provide many pics and observations and extended coverage to the all pros.

 

Guessing they'll still have at least a small crowd gather just to watch them walk to the field.

Usually a hand full of folks. Mostly autograph hunters. Always wonder if the items go right to eBay.

 

I got Clausen's for my buddy's teenage daughter back in his rookie year.

 

I've never sold anything like that on eBay.

 

(heck, I've never sold anything at all on eBay)

Funchess has slightly more speed but much less physicality than Benji and, sadly enough, worse hands.

The Huddle needs to temper their enthusiasm for the dude. You're prob gonna have to give him more time than Kelvin.

That being said, I love the insider updates.

    • I would say that seems like an odd comment from Morgan, but at the same time it's almost impossible to find a college QB declaring for the draft to have less physical ability than BY so you can assume almost anyone you bring in would be your go to QB sneak/designed run guy. 
    • Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.  
    • This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
