It got to the point where it had to be asked – why is he always so jubilant?

"Because I am grateful for the opportunity to be here," Whittaker said. "Not everybody is where they want to be, and just last year at this point in time, I was at home."

Whittaker was waived by the Cleveland Browns in May of 2014 and was out of work until the Panthers signed him on the third day of training camp. It was the chance he needed, and he knows how rare those chances are for free agents looking to latch on as the start of the season nears.

"So I'm making sure I take advantage of every opportunity to be out here," Whittaker said.

 

Fozzy was without a team at this point last season. This guy has a great story and is the genuine nice guy that others pretended to be.

Love Foz, hope he can be here for a while.

I think he's got real NFL talent. He's a good change of pace to Stewart. Unfortunately for him we just got Todman and Payne to compete for the job. I'm pulling for him though.

Will definitely be interesting to watch.

Love me some Fozzy.

It's good to have competition at RB without having to dump $80 million into the position.

I'm rooting for him, but I still want the best player on the field.

I named my stray cat fozzy, he has a similar story.

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Hopefully the competition brings out the best in Fozzy.  He was great for us down the stretch last season and he also closed out a couple of games. Really hope he's on the roster for this season.

[Mr. Scot]

I'm rooting for him

I think most of us are.

"...I was at home."

I'm beginning to think there are quite a few Panther players that feel this way, especially with the talk about "family" & "belonging". Teams with players that feel this way, IMO, do better.  Everybody pulls together for the benefit of the team.

I do love me some Fozzy though! With a nickname like that, how can you not be happy? 

[Mol3m4n]

I think the guy is decent, just severely overrated by the Huddle.

[Mr. Scot]

I've gone back and watched that 39 yard TD from the Arizona game numerous times. It's such a great play.

All I know is when he's on the field, good things happen.

[L-TownCat]

I think most of us are.

 

I'm really high on CAP though.  Between the two I like what CAP brings to the table.

If he's the guy that can help us win 3x in a row then I wish him luck
