Huddle gets mention on B/R

I’d say Ginn has a better shot of earning a spot than Cotchery just because his speed adds a new dimension to the roster, but considering the lack of experience of Benjamin and Funchess, a veteran's presence would be valuable.

Then you have young players like Corey Brown and Stephen Hill fighting for larger roles. They have more upside at this point, but you need to have some experience at the position.

Cotchery has seen fewer snaps with the first team than he did last season, according to Carolina Huddle. It’s been Funchess, Brown, Ginn and Brenton Bersin spending most of the time working with Newton.  You’d have to consider those four, plus Benjamin, the leaders in the clubhouse to get spots on the 53-man roster, but this competition is far from over.

hile no one, except possibly Russell Wilson, is better with their legs at quarterback than Newton, his arm still needs some work. According to Football Outsiders, Newton was the fifth-least accurate quarterback in 2014, including finishing with the worst rate of overthrown passes, at 17 percent. It’s not just the injuries Newton suffered last year, either—he overthrew 15 percent of his passes in 2013.

That needs to change if Newton is going to justify his new contract. I believe that he can improve—and it’s certainly something more concrete than the bizarre criticism that he "plays like someone who constantly has friends in his ear telling him that he’s the greatest”, likeSports Illustrated said earlier this week—but it’s the one thing holding Newton back from being one of the top QBs in the game.

Alright BR, I see you for calling out SI.  Good poo.

    • I've watched literally every single snap of T-Mac's career, there isn't a person on these boards who knows his game better than I do.  And I'm telling you, he is a great fit for what Bryce does well, period. You keep talking about these "get open quick WRs" as what Bryce needs, but I couldn't disagree more, because it blatantly disregards what Bryce does best. AND NO.... that's not me saying we don't need any "get open quick" type of WRs, I've long said we still needed one of those in addition to a true outside #1, but it's not the only type of WR that can be a successful pairing with Bryce. Bryce's biggest strength is his mental side of the game, he reads defenses and plays chess instead of checkers.  That type of QB doesn't need to rely on his WR's to quickly create acres of separation because their mental side of the game will mean they are going to put the ball on the WR when they create even minimal separation, as he's going to anticipate it and throw the ball before the WR has even made his cut on the route. AND THAT is where and why Bryce and T-Mac are a great pairing.  When you have a guy with T-Mac's hands and catch radius, he doesn't need 5 yards of separation to get open and have Bryce then get the ball to him.   Bryce is going to be throwing the ball before he even makes his cut, so even if all T-Mac is able to do is create 1 yard of separation, the ball is getting to him when he creates that and because of his hands and size, he's plucking that ball out of the air before the defender even has a chance to close that 1 yard, because the ball is there as soon as T-Mac creates the room and turns his head.
    • I read an article a few days ago that places like Seattle green bay and a few others are revoking tickets rights to holders that sell 100% of their tickets. That would do a lot of good league wide for bringing back some home field advantages. We aren't the only team who's stadiums get over run by visitors. It happens basically everywhere. That would go a long way to bringing ticket costs down 
    • yeah, you can basically copy and paste my thoughts from this time last year.   We are building an O more suited for Jake Delhomme than Bryce Young.  Tmac and XL sound great for the downfield gunslinger  Give them opportunities to make plays.  From what I have seen, and the scouting stuff I have read.....TMac does not project as a get open quick WR.  He is going to have to work on getting off the line at this level, getting open, etc.  Which is all good.  This you go to think people will be studs out the gate or you are hater logic just ain't what I do.   Take my XL stance last year.  I lobbied hard for him.  When we drafted him I immediately told folks to pump their breaks on the wild expectations.    If XL legitimately turned into what I think he can be.....his best setup in the league would not be paired w/ a QB like Young.  if Bryce was going to be the dude, I would have lobbied for Ladd vs XL.  I was an XL guy.   And again, I would have gone Warren/Jeanty this draft.   I would have invested in small ball talent for him to be the PG for.
