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.

    • We have without question one of the worst QB rooms in the league and your key concern is people having the audacity to be talking about it lol.
    • I saw this list crossing the screen waiting for any Panther.  Chubba, JC Horn and Hunt.  It was a crime to see so many that were not as good as these three.  ESPN is garbage anyhow.
    • Bingo!  We are on the same page.  Our scouting department was average under Hurney, but at least we hit hit it out of the park with our first rounders.  Our scouting department under Tepper's reign with his revolving doors of HCs and GMs has sucked because the scouts largely stay in place.  One or two may change every few years, but the core philosophy stays in place and I believe that to be heavily RAS influenced.    Looking the part of a football player (physical/athletic measurables) vastly outweighs putting on the tape and deep diving into his stats with our scouting department. Until we change that mindset, this team is doomed. Again, how many of us Huddlers (none of us are professional scouts) wanted McConkey over Legette? Yet, we went with XL.  Why?  RAS score, pure and simple.  If you put on the tape and look at the numbers without taking RAS into account, McConkey was the clear choice.
