Weren't those things he did during games and not practice?

#1 threw high passes and turnovers in camp and there was plenty of discussion about it no different than now. Idk why the kid gloves all the sudden but I guess memories get a little fuzzy.

These guys are having tons of info thrown at them, they are trying to stay hydrated.  Their legs feel like rubber and the heat makes it difficult to think.  Day 1--you are pumped.  Day 6?  You are closer to a zombie.  Trust me (based on college) they are counting the days...

Our last franchise qb was scrutinized on everything from his throws to how he sat on the bench to how he celebrated. Scrutiny comes with the position chief 🤷‍♂️

So if you didnt like it or think it was fair then why would you choose to continue the cycle?  There just isnt much benefit in scrutinizing every single throw in the first week of practice on a new team.

I believe this is my first camp thread remarking on his passes. But also it was specifically about a pick six though. That detail will garner a little more attention. Look we all know Sam has the arm and the ability it boils down to that next step. We want him to take it but this is the stuff he has to get out of his system now.

The constant conundrum of training camp. For one player/unit to have success requires another player/unit to struggle. Hence the constant hand wringing.

It makes the joint team practices much more exciting.

Who is currently RB2? 

Looked to be either Hubbard or Bonnafon based on what I saw Sat. night, but Rhule is giving a lot of the RBs reps with the ones.  I saw Rodney Smith, Darius Clark, and Spencer Brown sprinkled in a little bit.

The one guy who didn't see RB reps was Trenton Cannon, who was doing drills with the WR's.  I personally think this is to showcase his versatility.  Cannon is the #1 KR currently, and I think the staff is looking at him as primarily a returner with the ability to be RB4 or WR7 if needed along with playing ST's.  I think he has a great chance of making the team.

In fact, I think the one spot that could be up for grabs is Bonnafon's.  CMC is CMC, Hubbard will make the team, as will Cannon I think.  One of the guys mentioned above will have to beat out Bonnafon IMO, but I think Bonnafon has to slip for that to happen.

I think the RB depth (barring injuries) will be:

RB1: CMC (it's almost beyond accolades at this point to sa

RB2: Hubbard (he was also KR2 from what I saw)

RB3: Bonnafon (did really well in the limited opportunities backing up CMC in 2019 before injury last year)

RB4/WR7/KR1: Cannon

Biggest takeaway to me is that Rhule puts a lot of value on RB's being able to rush and catch passes from the RB spot

They practice all season and the same things happen. Its just that fans don't get daily practice updates.

I don't get the impression that those who over emphasize every rep played sports.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers.

      Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
