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.

    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
    • Theilen is about to retire. I dont care about him sticking around. Lets say you did and he retires at the end of the year. Now that connection is gone next year and it's just another excuse for regression that was just held off. 
    • Short term is the key point. Those first two games without him where pretty bad. They still aren't back to where they were offensively but they are getting better. Hopefully Tet continues to improve and Coker eventually returns - and stays healthy.
