Not a whole lot coming out on Twitter this a.m.  - here's what I've seen so far:

A lot of the tweets are focused on the latest Make-A-Wish visitor to the Panthers:

What's up with Bene & the bubble wrap?

More to follow....

Jeremy is having some fun last week and this week stirring the Bersin pot...  but it does sound like Sunshine is geared up and making some plays....:

At this point, it's exciting to have any / all WRs balling out.... just means that much better competition and focus.

Looks like McClain is going to have to really stink it up at training camp to not make the squad.

Agree he's got an edge due to experience.  But do remember Bene is not out there in team drills as he is still recovering from injury.

Man. I love and hate that we have so many good WRs. I mean all of them have good stories and stuff to prove, and yet we can only keep 5-6. Nevertheless, it's amazing to think last year we had one of the weakest WR corps, according to the media, and this year we might have one of the deepest and strong corps in the league, with those who didn't make it starting for other teams.

 

That's a good problem to have.

Caught the tail end of Ron's post-practice comments via Periscope on Twitter.   Sounds like he's pleased with the development of the CBs.   One of the reporters asked a great question about the fact that we have WRs of all different types - small/fast, big / physical..., and Ron acknowledged that having such a big diverse group of WRs was helpful to the cahners' development.  (I believe it was here on the Huddle I first saw someone suggest exactly this about why we have 14 WRs going into camp this year.  Need a lot of WRs of different types for the rookie CBs to practice against...)

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
