I did see this one tidbit from The Draft Network that concerned me. 

Quote

He has a ¾ like, quick release, but his arm angle puts a lot of pressure on his shoulder.

Quote

He has had injury history (throwing hand and shoulder) that needs to be evaluated as the process continues. He may have shoulder issues in the future due to the angle in which he releases the football — notable given he's already had shoulder surgery on his throwing arm.

So I don't know if anyone remembers this, but back in the day, a decade ago, there was a guy that was doing prospect breakdowns and he did one for Cam and said something along the lines of "His throwing motion is a very violent herky jerky motion that puts a ton of stress on his shoulder. He might have issues with that as his career goes forward." His mechanics were built around his shoulder instead of his legs and when his shoulder went to crap, his throwing ability fell apart. Might have been exaggerated due to the way he threw and why he had to tweak his throwing motion a few years back. I'll post the link if I can find it, but it this should not be something that the team should take lightly.

I am not going to lie, a few of those throws look identical to Trevor in regards to placing the ball right where the WR can get it and just perfect where the defender can do nothing.   I dont know how well he reads defenses or how he audibles but he throws some really nice balls.

 

I am not concerned with his shoulder but moreso his frame.  He has to get thicker

I dont think Cams motion hurt his shoulder it was just a combination of a ton of things.  Getting hit in particular scrambling, a terrible oline, Watt,  and waiting waiting waiting on treating the shoulder for fear of surgery.   The panthers failed Cam but he didnt do himself any favors trying to play through it.

What was the concise write up? This is what it said about the kid:

Wilson (6-foot-3, 210 pounds) is in the middle of a sensational season. Through nine games, he already has 2,724 passing yards, 26 touchdowns and two interceptions while averaging 11.5 yards per attempt.
 

Then it had videos.

It is concise with videos adding to it.  (Sic) Pictures vs a thousand words

Don’t like it, pass it by

I like Wilson the prospect, but there are definitely durability questions. He's still in college and he's already had two surgeries on his throwing arm - one on his shoulder and one on his thumb. That's pretty damn concerning. Factor in his slight frame and... yeah.

But yeah, I do really like him as a player.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By bandu · Posted

      there is one common denominator in the 2003 & 2015 Carolina Panthers teams they both had ELITE top tier Qb play.  it would require a MVP type of season from Bryce Young to have the same type of success that Jake Delhomme had in  2003 & or Cam Newton in 2015 & lead this team to a SuperBowl is this going to happen or is there any reason to believe Bryce Young is capable of playing similar to Jake Delhomme in 2003 or Cam Newton in 2015 ? well no there is no absolutely NO reason whatsoever to believe that this is going to happen in 2026 ..just saying

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I'd actually like to see Cherelus get a fair shot to win the job in camp. Wallace is decent in drop zone coverage, but he gets abused in the play action game and is often times out of position in the run game. It might just be me, but I swear every time I watch Wallace play, I see multiple plays a game were it looks like he's just trying to be blocked. Watching Cherelus last year he at least looked like he was trying to hit someone on every play. Wallace plays like a LB who doesn't trust what he sees and it makes him passive and cautious versus Cherelus who regardless of if his decision is right or wrong goes at it 100%.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Agreed.  Hasn’t happened to me either, but I feel very strongly about it.  That’s not just one of the worst things a woman could do to a man, it’s a power inherent to only women and is one of the worst things a HUMAN being can do to another.  A man can’t “hide” a pregnancy or maternity.  It’s impossible.  And that sucks for anyone that has to go through that. I always got a weird vibe off her and just found her very unlikeable.  Annoying even.  I’ve always been good at reading people and there was just something about her to me that was off-putting, somewhere under the surface.  And here we are…  she is despicable.
