In the first open media OTA session of 2015 my main objective was to get a real glimpse of how the Carolina Panthers receiving corps were shaping up. With Kelvin Benjamin out with injury and rookie Devin Funchess out of town, there was a real opportunity to see which players would step up and make a case for themselves as that second or third option. 

Those two receivers today were Corey Brown and Stephen Hill.

I'm telling everyone right now. Philly will be our #3 WR this season. I've been saying this for the past couple months, after watching tape from last season. Not saying it'll happen, but don't be surprised if he explodes like Victor Cruz did. As much as people here want to call him a JAG (top dawg...), he is a legitimate threat and I think he'll be a longterm WR for us. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he pushes Funchess for the second most snaps at wideout, depending on Funchess' development. I don't anticipate that but it would not surprise me at all. Working on getting video clips set up and I'll post a breakdown hopefully this weekend.

Can you imagine the the impact on this team if Brown improves, and Hill finally comes into his own. No wonder Cam seems to be so enthusiastic.  If all this comes to fruition and KB keeps his production on an upward trajectory, and Funchess has a Benjiman type rookie season. The sky will be the limit for this offense. IS IT SEPTEMBER YET?

Man that's great stuff Igo. The WR group was the one unit on the team I wanted to see most as the battles for each spot (or even how many spots) will be so tight. With the presumed top 2 out of the mix temporarily, the other guys get a chance to shine. And while the possible "arrival" of the new Stephen Hill could be a game changer for this team...the noted infectious enthusiasm of Cam Newton is what makes me think this offense and to some extent this team...is going to have a special year.

 

Many fans are expressing their excitement for this team this year...but I think the players know something special is afoot as well.

      ESPN showing some love on out draft class!!

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      He makes a good point about Wallace.  In fairness to Wallace it is hard to play your position as freely as you need to when your defensive line is getting pushed around like ragdolls.  One of the greatest attributes a defensive line has is sucking up blocks, freeing up your linebackers.  Our defensive line couldn't suck up a lollipop more or less blocks.  I think Evans, Sanders and Tremble are going to be a really nice TE group.  I can see all three getting time on the field.  If Sanders can improve as a blocker teams won't be so inclined to believe it is a pass play whenever Sanders is on the field.  Ryan Fitzgerald, I think was an awesome pick-up. Hopefully he can fill our kicker void. Luke Kandra many turn out to be our next Norwell.  Everything I have heard about him says he's a beast.  He needs some refinement, but the good news is he's got Hunt and Lewis (arguably the best guard tandem in the league) to learn from.

      Morgan & Canales

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Great teams build through the draft and have several young players that start that are on rookie contracts. It's important to hit on players in rounds 4 thru 7.  These should be future starters and solid depth.  When you hit on most of your picks you free up a lot of cap space for those one- or two-year players to fill spots you are thin at. No GM is going to perfect on all their picks.  You're going to whiff every once in a while.  That was Hurney problem.  He'd nail the first pick but after that it was reach after reach and we couldn't get any depth on this team. I'm excited about Morgan as our GM and hopefully he'll be around a long time.  It will be even better if Canales can continue to grow as a head coach, both in the development of young players and play calling. I remember last season after Young came back in the lineup and started to perform well.  We saw different plays I had only seen other teams use.   If Canales's play design and play calling continue to grow. Morgan and Canales will be linked together for a long time.  It would be nice to see a Coach and GM together for a decade or two. Go Panthers
