Welcome to your Carolina Panthers at Tennessee Titans gameday thread. Please use this thread for general observations about the game. 

 

  • Cam Newton will not plays. 
  • First string players typically play a full quarter or about three series. 
  • Keep an eye on Austin Duke and Kaelin Clay later in the game. Both fighting for a roster spot. 
  • Tennessee Mom still wants Cam's :Eggplant_Emoji_Icon_42x42:, and feels guilty about it. 

 

Please do not create reactionary threads. Keep it nice and tidy in here. If you have a legitimate topic to discuss about the game that deserves its own thread by all means do it. 

 

Love,

 

Management.

You're the one stating we should keep an eye out for both.  Correct?  When neither one will make the team.  So, in essence, can you tell us why we should look out for players destined for the Practice Squad (if that)?

Because today's Damiere Byrd was also once a practice squad guy. Same with Russell Shepard who will be starting this year.

 Some of us like to keep up with such things.

Meh, keeping up with Practice Squad players that will never be on a final NFL roster.  That's like keeping up with Walk-Ons on a College Football team.  You know they're on the team, but know they'll never get any PT (unless your CFB team is complete trash).  It's better to look for battles that will impact the immediate roster, than watch for a bunch of players that won't see the field this season (unless a ton of injury attrition happens).

      If his seat was hot enough for him to be fired 6 games in then you should've just fired him when you made the decision to draft a QB #1 overall. I don't think you go from "this is definitely our guy" to "you're fired in 6 games". Seems like there would be had to have been doubts going in and that's not a recipe for success for a rookie QB.

      I like to use the analogy that a high draft pick QB is like a new supercar. Great to have one except too often, one forgets that they are high maintenance. A bad team secures their car under a cheap tent, puts regular gas in the tank, services it at Pep Boys, and then blames the car for not working properly and proceeds to get another one.  At the least, Ward getting sacked 25 times already is a massive red flag. If you can't protect your rookie QB, you do not put him out there. Otherwise, it's taking your supercar and immediately spinning it right into a tree. A few survive that rough of a start. Most do not.

      I don't think there's any one size fits all answer. I think you play the rookie when A) you think he's ready and B) you think there's a reasonable expectation that the overall situation provides him an opportunity to be successful, not necessarily in terms of wins and losses but just in terms of giving him a fighting chance with surrounding talent. If you rush either one it's probably not gonna be pretty.
