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.

    • Over previous years? Sure is 😆
    • An odd little vibe I've noticed here of late: some folks are "all or nothing" to an absolutely extreme level when it comes to Bryce. Here's a bit of truth telling though: There are, in fact, things Bryce does well. Likewise, there are areas in which he's improved over his time here. He has, on several occasions now, legitimately helped us win games. On the flipside, there have been failures in other areas as well as coaching that we're not in any way his fault.  And finally , it is also genuinely possible that the team may see him as the future, even if we don't. The craziest part, though? It's actually possible that they're right and we're wrong. All of this is true, and more, yet if you accept any of these premises people go from zero to apesh-t in under three seconds 😳 Anything less than total disavowal of Bryce and / or agreement that he's the worst QB of all time and suddenly you're a "stan". Oy 🙄 The reality though?  Bryce is indeed an NFL quarterback. Not a great one, probably backup level good, and I've seen way worse. Now, if you run that statement through your personal Google translator and it comes back with some version of "I want to throw 50 million a year at Bryce for the next 10 years", that's not really my issue it's yours  I don't wanna make him the franchise quarterback, but it's not my call. Win or lose, the team is going to do what they think is best. And as always, if it disagrees with what I think we should do, I'm gonna hope I'm the one who's wrong. Internet clout means nothing. Watching my favorite team win at my favorite sport meas fun 😁
