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.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By Icege · Posted

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
