So what there are 31 other teams in the league. His spot here is probably gone, but he could try to show some sort of effort if he wants to get picked up by someone else. 

I guess he is ok with being out of the league and is happy with the money he has made already.

I doubt 31 other teams are watching our practice to see how hard Ian Thomas jogs around the track.

Zods not paying too much attention to the lines other than lineup until pads are on.  Which makes sense

Its early.  

Sure, but Daley being the best LT early isn't a good sign. No one here, nor any expert expected that.  It's definitely a cause for concern. We need everyone to get healthy and some a positive sign there.

Yeah, I found that odd, did he even play LT much last year?   Even Scott had a few starts there.

Maybe this is the best time to give the  lineman a chance to get try the motions and feel for the other line positions.  Daley at left, Moton at left. 

What better time to experiment with different people in different places?

If not now, when?

No but the Carolina coaching staff sure sees it.  And coaches are a big fraternity who are networked with each other.  So you don't want to have a reputation as a lazy guy or poor worker.   It could affect whether another team takes a chance on you or not.

I guess he sees the writing on the wall.  Its too bad, I had such high hopes his rookie year.

Or he thinks "that's a College punishment and this is the NFL" - only Rhule is going to run a tight ship so he'd best get used to it.

I'm sure he was thinking it was beneath a pro...and then he didn't handle it professionally.

Don't think Daley played much at all last year.

If I recall correctly, he was hurt for most of it.

Yeah, he started a couple at guard, I thought. I don't remember him playing tackle... ah well...too lazy to look up.

- The defense feels like far and away the more cohesive and aggressive unit. They are well ahead of the offense when it comes to swagger, and it isn't close. The offense could really use a vocal leader stepping up.

 

Ironically, I'd look for Robby in this area. 

DJ and Marshall are just quiet

Moton, CMC are more lead by example types.

Anderson would be the talker. And possibly Darnold by training camp.

To be fair, at this time of year the defense should look better than the offense. And that's even true of teams that don't have a new quarterback.

Absolutely.  Defense almost always outshines Offense in early season camps, regardless of the team.

Offense is a big dance where everyone has to learn the steps.  That group coordination takes time & practice.  Defense is far more "read & react" which favors raw athleticism.

      I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
