sounds like a work horse maybe they will show him on the Carolina Huddle mini-camp show next weekend as I watched the Panther Huddle yesterday where they showed the rookies playing. And they showed Gettie and Ron introducing Shaq to Carolina and you could tell they really loved him and where high on him finishing his college and his work ethics..And listening to Shaq made me feel a lot better about the pick...I think he will be a solid addition to Carolina and not a waste of a pick..

The kid has the legs of a 190+ player. A little upper body work and he will get there.

He is the opposite of guys like Joe Adams who had sticks for legs.

 

 

That comparison about Byrd's legs, brings to mind Steve Smith and the  large,powerful he has for  legs for his size.

I just sense a lot of optimism. I hope and want all of these guys to succeed. I was just rying to see if you were playing them up a little bit for a little needed hype. 

 

From your response I think you are meaning what you say. It sounds like we have some good new players.

 

Living in Florida I dont get much of a chance to see my team, especially in the offseason. Thanks for the updates. I hope you didnt take my post the wrong way.

 

Jeremy has posted training camp write-ups before about how there was no sense of urgency and the team seemed listless, before they came out and sucked in the regular season. If he sounds optimistic, it's not because it's forced or hype, it's what he feels based on what he watches.

      Rookie season being key to uour argument. I didn't at all mislead about the talent Cam had to work with. Kalil was a great center. Olsen was a great TE. Our WRs were probably the worst in the league. Cam still won MVP, we went 15-1, and we went to the SB. Your attempt to bring up Cam to defend Bryce is desperate and clownish. Bryce has more talent to work with and has done WAY less.

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
