Gotta give the dbs a break.  Facing the #1 scoring offence and mvp in situations that dont benefit the defense.

These young guys should be prepared by the season starter and atleast be serviceable.

On the flip side cam is going to destroy the league this year.  We are going to beat people up on offense.

 

It is true that OTAs, and Mini Camps are set up for failure by the CBs. Which is why, in normal years, rookies are brought along slowly. You don't want to mess to much with their confidence by letting them be abused. Let them take their time, and learn the game as they grow. But...this is not a normal year. These kids are going to get their baptism sooner rather than later. They will get lots, and lots, of personal attention, more than a rookie usually gets anyway, which should speed their growth. As long as they don't fold under the pressure, they really should be ready to go by the time the Playoffs start.

 

And yeah!!! Cam being one year better kinda scares me. With KB back, Funchess's growth, and Olsen, we still have one hellofa receiving corp. for Cam to throw to. Add in what Ginn Jr., and Brown, can do, and there ain't no reason on earth for a Panther fan NOT to be excited over the numbers Cam very well could put up. Even in our run first Offense.

 

Or what IF Hill has actually grasp how to be an NFL WR? Or 1 or 2 of those young TEs can actually give us a solid #2 TE? Or if, Zod forbid, that Byrd character won't let the Panthers pass him over? All of a sudden, we have a whole bunch of targets for Cam. I am giddy with the prospects.

 

Just think. If our Defense can be in the top ten range. We are going to be real tough to beat. Man it is a great time to reside in Pantherland.

Can we put ole Joe out to pasture yet? Or better yet, take him out behind the barn and shoot him?  He always has to try to stir up some poo.  What a sad, pathetic little man.

Here are the Cam & KB jersey swap pix

A few more tidbits via Jones & Person.   We've been seeing "Dickson" and "drop" in the same sentence quite frequently it seems.  Given all the extra competition at TE this year, he could be feeling the pressure....

▪  Backup tight end Ed Dickson caught a 20-yard pass from Cam Newton during a one-minute drill. But Dickson later dropped a catchable ball along the sideline during the same drill.

▪  Ealy beat second-year offensive tackle Daryl Williams on consecutive plays during team drills while Williams was playing left tackle, going around the edge with speed. Then on the next play, Ealy jumped offside.

▪  Safety Tre Boston made a great leaping interception down the sideline during team drills. The pass, thrown by Newton, was intended for Funchess.

A bit off-topic, but looks like there's another Panther in the NFL top 100 countdown tonight

I think they're doing #31 - 40, is that correct? 

We've had Kalil, Stew, TD & KK.

I'm guessing this week is either J-No (is he counted as a Panther still for this series?) or Greg.

Luke & Cam have to be in the top 20 and hopefully top 10.

The rookie CB's better toughen up because they've got a huge target on their backs. You know Brees(if healthy) is gonna go at em' every chance he gets and so will everybody else. If they can make Brees pay he'll back off, but if not...
