Panthers Wednesday training camp thread

[Tommy Jone]

Here's a picture from my encounter. I noticed the book in Baker's hand, and it appears to be the following:

The byline is "How to survive and thrive when opportunity roars"

Right not wrong with that but it just doesn’t play well inside an NFL locker room  

He’s literally the reason the team quit twice last year. If the QB isn’t a leader and the HC is a buffoon there’s nobody for the locker room to follow.

I hate to disrupt the echo chamber, but by all accounts, the players really like Rhule.

I'm starting to fangirl over Baker

Man it sounds like he is maturing.  I mean he is saying and doing all the right things (changing his contract for incentives, welcoming the open competition, practicing with WRs during dead periods).  IF and I know it's a big IF he has matured, his photographic memory with his arm talent could very well be a steal for us.  I want to get excited, but I will need to "see it to believe it" at this point.

Then why’d they quit on him? To be fair a person can be well liked but terrible at their job at the same time I guess

We don't talk about the drops in training camp.

We wait until gameday to realize WRs hands rarely if ever improve after 4 seasons in the pros, and a QBs ability to produce game winning drives in the pros does not improve from their college years.

I can see that though 3-2-6 is also one we ran a ton with Hartsfield as well, can imagine those are the packages with Horn in the nickel and Hartsfield still the 3rd safety.  6 DBs would be Chinn, Woods, Harts, Horn, Jackson, Hendo.   It seemed like we ran oddball stack formations (3-3-5 and 3-2-6) like 70%+ of our snaps last year.

The interesting thing is that Wilson's run-D gives us more flexibility with the DBs used.  He'll be the stable dude next to Shaq as an improvement over Luvu (who I like) and Littleton (mixed-bag). 

The pressure then lies up front for Brown to sh*t or get off the pot.

Might be part of the reason our run D was so poo the last 2/3 of the year or so.  Kinda hard to stack up when you have 6 DBs and 2 LBs on the field as your base D.

That brings up something I meant to ask @ellis

John, what's your opinion of Anderson as a WCO receiver?

West Coast Offenses certainly do make use of deep threats (Reid used to do it all the time in Philly) but the primary skill set needed is the ability to catch a quick pass and run it for a lot of yards. Pure deep threats tend to work better in a Coryell.

Anderson is certainly a deep threat, but have you seen enough of him as a RAC guy to endorse him in our system? Heaven knows his hands were an issue last year.

I feel like I've definitely seen him do that before, just not sure if I've seen it enough.

We could have YAC for DAYS with the guys we've got.  Robbie is one of the fastest guys in the league and we all know what CMC and Moore can do with the ball in their hands.

Yep. When you look at the skill positions, we have damn near ideal personnel for running a WCO.

O-line and QB have been holding this offense back for literal years now.  We've at least upgraded QB to middle of the pack, and the o line could actually be a strength of the team this year instead of bottom 5 in the NFL.  More and more I am getting excited about the prospects of this team as a whole this year.  Defense is looking very strong, and Horn is not even really playing.  We can seriously make some noise in a depleted NFC this year.

Hence the 3-0 start and 2-12 finish.

Big part of it, yeah.

Also didn't take much time to figure out the defense.

Players liked Ron Rivera too. Last time we saw that guy his team was kicking our ass. Matt has as much to prove as anyone.
