Breeland a Panther

I'm hoping he's better than he looked across from Norman.

He was very solid in Washington. Definitely significantly better than Worley was here, though I do still think Worley would've eventually "gotten" it. Was just taking too long.

think he'll be better than Worley/Seymour, but I just remember that first year JNo went to WSH and watching Breeland then, he was atrocious and absolutely targeted and abused.  Even so, when I watched him, I never felt he lacked the ability, just seemed to be more technique, whereas in Worley's case it was due to his lack of athleticism and fluidity.  When I've watched WSH over the last year, I can say Breeland did not appear to be the liability he was before, so he must have developed into a solid player...  still, not overly excited about this pickup, especially if we planned on bringing in Norman anyway if he is released.

One side effect: I think we can now probably put to bed the "Josh Norman is coming back" talk.

Not really. Breeland isn't a top tier guy and wouldn't keep us from bringing Josh back in the future. Though it was already clear well before this signing that it won't happen this offseason. They most likely cut him next year, but after letting Breeland walk and trading Fuller this offseason it was clear they were keeping him this year.

    • Yep, the Panthers powers that be seem desperate to convince themselves he can clear the bare minimum bar of demanding a legit franchise QB contract. Canales seems to be laying the groundwork here of building the case that all of Bryce's shortcomings are still there and even more glaring than you may have thought while his strengths aren't nearly as strong as you had hoped and aren't near enough to make up for the lack of pure physical tools. When you have historically anomalous lack of measurables you need historically anomalous positive intangibles to make up for it. That was always issue with Bryce as a prospect. Like Parcells said when evaluating him, "he better walk on water". 
    • I'm honestly not sure how much "west coast" plays into it. There's a huge difference between Tucson, AZ and Spokane, WA where he spent the previous two decades of his career. Chapel Hill is significantly different than Spokane but way more similar to it than Tucson. You're talking about a pretty significant plane ride to get back home either way. He and his family would be flying private and direct so we're talking about a 3ish hour flight vs. a 5ish hour flight. That's basically a wash. It's not like he went from Gonzaga to another PNW program. Tucson is a dramatic departure from Washington state. Honestly a far bigger departure climatically and scenery wise than Chapel Hill would be.
