arriving a few minutes earlier than the next guy is by no means whatsoever an indicator for initiative, heart, GUTS, and all that stuff. im sorry but it's nonsense.

there are an infinite number of rational and logical ways to make this decision over the quest of being the earliest earlies.

you want your leader, among other things, to be the first guy there and maybe even the last guy to leave. It sets the tone and it shows greater discipline than those who just show up "whenever".

it's not the only thing you want to see, but it's something you want to see and it matters in the big picture...especially for someone wanting to step up into a leadership position.

you're telling me a guy that arrives 15min early to practice must have more heart and drive than a guy that arrives 10min early to practice? gtfo.

please try explaining to the player that's 10min early everyday.

he's explained this to you very patiently like sixty times guy

It’s over your head… all you can see is that player arriving early, you haven’t the slightest clue about what else he is doing to set himself apart but at the end of the day if I can point to more things that he does that shows initiative then he’s set himself up better than his competition who is on equal grounds but shows no initiative whatsoever.

showing up a little less early by a matter of minutes than the next guy, is not showing "no initiative".  that guy couldve been in his locker studying the playbook for all you or the coaches know. it's not an indicator of jack. you could literally decide this by age, injuries, athleticism, potential, cap space. ANYTHING but, "hey this guy showed up on the field 15min early and this guy showed up 10min early". it's a gimmick for rookies to show the fans that care about stupid ish like this. nothing more.

you just cant see it.

Baker standing up for his WR at least. Not a Sam strength

Mayfield wearing shorts today but still in long sleeves.

Not walking out with Darnold today so things were a little less awkward.

 

The man was almost put on PUP due to a severe case of swamp-ass!

Looks like Spencer Brown beat everyone out to the field today but Corral was the first QB out once again… so far the kid is doing everything right and just working hard. Good to see.

Who cares if he's first? Really? It has nothing to do with anything.

i never understood why we care who is out on the field first. what's the point?

Exactly. Tyrod Taylor is known for being the first one in and last one out and he’s a solid back up.

Baker doing Baker things

If you don't approach the line, you'll never be big time. They weren't intercepted and then you come back on 3rd down and hit the deep crosser. Have faith, ye of LITTLE faith.

Assume we'll get video of this later if Panthers media deems us worthy of viewing

Did they bring a lunch pail out there too?

they should kill this comp and give Baker the reps he deserves and needs.  Then let Corral get backup caliber reps for growth.  Sam and PJ are what they are and we already know it.  Neither are the future or should play this year

You’ve been told many times that showing up early is just one of many things a player can do to show initiative but for some reason you are only focusing on being early. Once again, no one said that’s the end all be all and player A is making the roster over player B because player A showed up earlier. I’ve outlined it for you multiple times that if I can come up with more things that a player does to show leadership, initiative, and overall good energy then that player has a better chance of making the roster than his competition who doesn’t do those things. There’s a whole list of items that I’m taking into consideration, being early is just one of the 100.

If you can’t understand the premise then we don’t need to have a conversation because frankly it’s a waste of both of our times.

No reason for PJ to be here imo. Baker with the 1s, Sam/Matt splitting with the 2s/3s
