Panthers coach Matt Rhule on why he is beginning camp with 90 players instead of 80: “We had worked hard to take it to 90 guys we wanted to go camp with. Those guys worked hard all offseason. The rules say we can go down to 80 at any time (till Aug. 16). We thought we'd start off at 90 and see how things progressed.”

Matt Rhule still hasn't met all of his players yet. Asked if he's at a disadvantage because he hasn't had the practices and other benefits a new coach would get because of the pandemic, Rhule said: “Yes. It's less than ideal. Even as we make decisions now we're making them off zoom meetings. We all do the best we can with it and take it as a challenge.''

Panthers coach Matt Rhule says all of his players are wearing masks in the building, but some – including some coaches – are wearing full shields in practice. One advantage of the shield, he said, you can see the player's or coach's face. “All have been really good about covering,'' Rhule said.

Matt Rhule likes what he's seen so far in the relationship between quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and offensive coordinator Joe Brady as they reunite from their year together in New Orleans in 2018. “Teddy knows [the offense] so well. He and Joe have a great relationship, a football relationship where they talk about level 3 and level 4 coaching things. They're off to a great start.''

Matt Rhule offered some insight onto what has been done to Bank of America Stadium to make it safer. There are outdoor weight rooms, the media room has been turned into a recovery room, each player has a suite for their virtual meetings. Everyone also wears contact tracers so if you're around somebody for more than 10 minutes it alerts you by turning red.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
