Observations from camp today.....

Here are a few observations from Carolina Panthers training camp today.

- Atrocious day for backup quarterbacks. There were 4 picks thrown by them in a single team drill period.

- Overall, the secondary kicked the tails of the receivers all day long.

- Damiere Byrd had another lackluster day. He remains hot and cold this year when he really needs to stand out. At this point Curtis Samuel looks like he should get the reps in games.

- Cam Newton looked pretty darn good. Crisp pass to Olsen over the middle was on the money hitting him in stride. Good to see.

- I am growing pretty optimistic about this draft class after having watched them the past two weeks. I can't recall a draft class in recent memory where so many of them are legitimately competing to contribute right away.

- Norv Turner isn't shy about getting on the case of players or correcting them. Something Shula was never too big on during practice.

- You all may not like Matt Kalil, but you better pray he stays healthy. Anyone behind him is much, much worse.

- Funchess has had an OK camp. Not great. Not bad. Just ok. Was hoping for him to dominate out there but he just isn't. He should be standing out heads and shoulders above the other larger receivers.

- Shaq Thompson got the play of the day today when he tipped a Gilbert thrown ball at the line, contorted his body to make the interception and run with it.

- I am worried TD's play may have fallen off a bit. He just doesn't look to have the wheels he used to. Had a hard time keeping up with receivers. Hope it is just my eyes.

I love TD but he has been falling for two years now and it is a concern

we are getting old on defense in key areas. 

OL, my god,  just pray 

TD and RKalil should have been done. This was a good year to do it...if we kept Norwell. Would have been nice to keep Norman too.

Tis’ not the Panther/Hurney way though. We’ll drag this out and cling on, reward then for being fan favorites. God forbid our team look to the future or hurt casual fans’ feelings.

But maybe Tepper is just letting this year play out and the Panthers shift their main goal to winning.

im not understanding how this scenario works in your head.....

If we would have moved on from davis and kalil via cutting them we'd still be paying them.... making it impossible to afford norwell... 

Now imagine our cap if we kept Norman...this would have been a disaster season for us....

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
