In his early summer videos on IG he was focusing on lateral drills and coverage focus. I assumed there was a chance we were moving him to LB. I also read that he might be playing a different role on our defense that people expected someone like Isaiah Simmons would play.

Yeah, before he hurt his wrist last year he was looking like a stud. Then the same staff that played a starting QB with an obviously bum shoulder when we were out of playoff contention had their stud rookie pass rusher gunning on the punt team when we were out of playoff contention. Oh wee mayne... this organization makes some really damn dumb decisions.

...Burns punched the ground that injured his wrist, if I recall correctly.  While we're speaking of "damn dumb decisions".

I hope he'll be a monster out there this season and we get to see the Spider-man sack celebrations every week. The young guy certainly had a good start and all the tools to get the job done.

Still, defense always has the advantage early in training camp. Let's wait and see.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
