Last year in training camp, it was Andrew Norwell. Norwell showed early flashes, like below man handling Kony Ealy in one on one drills.

Most of the media saw it as Ealy coming along too slowly. Turns out it was just Norwell being.. well,.. Norwell.

Who is your pick for surprise player of 2015? A guy not predicted to make the team but steps in and makes a major contribution.

if byrd turns out to be a punt or kick returning phenom it could really shake things up at several roster positions.

I am really trying to temper my enthusiasm over that kid until the pads are on and he takes a hit. Huge potential there, just worry a bit about his frame at this level.

I'll go with Kurt Coleman. He's expected to make the roster, but many have already penciled in Harper as the starter. Also I think Big Frank will have a breakout year and help us forget Hardy, but I don't think that would be a huge surprise to many. We all know he has the talent, just has to stay on the field.

I say Funchess. I know he is a second round guy so maybe doesn't count as "surprise", but from a national perception point of view it seems a lot of people thought he would be a slow tight end with bad hands. If he can have a season similar to Kelvin's rookie season then I'd say that would be a pleasant surprise.

I really, really think people are going to enjoy Artis-Payne. Maybe not right off of the bat, but I could see him breaking out in December..

 

With that being said though I really like Fozzy too. So it's tough for me to pick between the two for the backup spot

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.

      Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor.

      Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
