Panthers Coach Ron Rivera hopes to get one good series out of quarterback Cam Newton tonight against Buffalo in his preseason debut of Norv Turner's offense. Then the goal is to get Garrett Gilbert in with the first team to see where he stands as he battles Taylor Heinicke for the backup job that has been Derek Anderson's since Newton entered the league in 2011.

Kyle Allen isn't mentioned as being in the mix, but it's worth noting that Heineke was an interception machine in practice recently.

I can't remember who I was talking to that told me Heineke was the one to watch. 

Heineke did nothing the 4 days I was at TC to make me think he even has a shot at the 53 man roster.

I'll be shocked of Cam plays more than one series. I won't be surprised if he hardly throws a pass. Maybe a screen or a check down or two. Call it a night.

That's what I'd do.

Might be what Rivera does. We'll see soon enough.

      Noah Fant? "Perfect fix?" More like imperfect fix.

      He has been a starter most of his career.  Why does anyone thing he would willing come here to be our 3rd TE?

      I've liked him since his rookie year as a prospect, but when he's been asked to play in a large capacity, he has simply not done well.   He does not really add anything, rather muddies up the room.  Fant is TERRIBLE as a blocker, a pure receiving TE.   Let's just put Tremble aside since he's PUP (although I still like him as a TE2, but yeah he's not our future starter)... Sanders has already shown better receiving skills than a Fant and has a nice ceiling.  Not to mention, he's got in-line run blocking skills.  I really want to see what he's capable of this year.  Also has a year+ experience now in Canales' offense, not to mention legit chemistry with Bryce. And after Sanders, I also imagine our staff is waiting to see how Mitchell Evans looks in camp as he's got the in-line blocking skills.  If he looks fully capable of filling in behind Sanders, then I don't see a need.  Overall, keep an eye out on early August moves.  They are usually soft indicators of how staff's view their rookie late rounders and roster overall.  This is a wait and see what the market presents and how they think their unit looks in camp.

      Every team has different needs of the backup QB.   On some teams a young hopeful makes sense and on others an old worn out dude makes sense.  We are a little more in the in-between IMO where you probably would prefer a Fields, Pickett, Howell type IMO.   So a young disappoint that you there is still some hail mary hope in.....given BY essentially was benched both seasons for performance (I know that's not the official line going into Seattle but I think most would agree he got a break and should of been benched later that year).  I know we want Bryce to be the week 17 guy all season this upcoming year.  But it's still in the reasonable thought process that the other dude could show back up.
