So the Kaaya thing


stirs

Recommended Posts

It seemed sorta left field at the time, but now?  Will coaches try these cast off guys and try to develop them quickly or will we hear an unexpected name at the 2018 draft?  It is becoming evident that Cam will not sign a 3rd contract, so when this one is up, will we have a valid replacement in house?

My favorite would be Rudoph

 

You just never know how the season will play out, but to continue on the knee jerk bandwagon we have going here, just thought I'd drop a few guys in for discussion.  Hopefully, in a few weeks, the Panthers and Cam are back up to speed, but in the light of the current struggles, thought we might speculate a bit.

I do an NFL Draft podcast and we just yesterday did an ep on all the QB prospects for 2018. I don't know the rules about linking stuff here, so I'll be safe and not do it. If you're interested you can look up "UDFA Podcast" on iTunes. It's me an a Bucs fan so the Panthers do get a lot of attention on the show.

I can't even imagine how bad Kaaya would look behind this line. When pressured his mechanics go to sh*t and with Kalil and Williams around...

Goooooooood f'n luck. 

I know

Makes you wonder what they have him doing in practice.  Is he working on mechanics with eye for the future or just going through the motions.

I was under the impression that Kaaya would be Cam's new backup, beginning next season. Haven't seen anything from DA on the field to make me think that he'll be sticking around past 2017.

I wouldn't assume anything at this point.  Hell it wouldn't surprise me if they don't try to trade the kid for a kicker when Gano shits the bed in an important game this season.

I thought we had a pretty decent backup in the preseason.  Maybe not 1st team quality but a total improvement for the 2nd team.

Maybe Kaaya is even better?  Fug it... there's only one way to find out.  I seriously don't want to see DA on the field anymore.  None.

I'm not ready to give up on Cam but having a quality QB to develop is not a bad problem to have, just ask the Packers (Brett/Aaron) or Pats with Jimmy G.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
