Jeremy Fowler: Panthers to go after QB Drew Lock

Are you sure Lock is B tier? To me he's JAG! He's not a higher end backup like The Red Rifle. Lock is anything but a lock, he's an open door to pure mediocrity. 

And Bryce is still a small man among big men. He went largely unscathed his rookie year---hell, damned durable---but let's not act like he's Superman out there, and even if he is, there's Kryptonite everywhere and the potential for him going down remains. Our backup QB may have a higher probability to play substantial minutes.

 

That's what I mean. He is "B" tier in the backup QB's. Borderline #3 QB(which are C Tier and lower by my definition).

Association + need = educated speculation.

Panthers need WR help = reports of Panthers looking at or being involved in FA WR's.

I expect most "sources" go like this.

Ring, ring.  Hello, this is Carolina Panthers person who works inside the building or is in the NFL in any way.

Yes, I'm a reporter.  Are you guys going after Calvin Ridley?

Anything is possible and we are looking to upgrade our WR's

Can I quote you on that?

Sure.

Sources inside the Panthers organization say they are interested in acquiring Calvin Ridley to upgrade their WR's for Bryce Young.  If the Panthers can sign Ridley, anything is possible, including a surprise trip to the Superbowl sooner rather than later.

Gallup's moment has passed.  That would be like DJ Hackett all over again.  

To the report - I don't mind Drew Lock at all.  He looked fine when he came in last year and could be a good tank commander if Bryce gets injured or just doesn't work out.  

Drew Lock got that on field Cam Newton swag minus the massive talent

Dalton isn’t actually a high end backup up.  We have bumped him up a tier just because he is here. 

He has seen the field each season over the last 9 years and never had a positive win % in any year.

It would be interesting to compare his win percentage to the rest of the field. You just might be surprised.

And all Dalton’s teams didn’t suck.  He had a losing record with even the Cowboys. 

We had Bryce Young who sucked.  And Dalton had to set an all time high in pass attempts despite playing for century….to give us a normal day.  Ever since then the board has boosted him.  But he has been pretty bad for a good number of years.  

a good backup either is young with question marks or just a great tudor.  No one working with Bryce Young needs to be around him again this year IMO.   Give him a new QB room.

    • Canales up first. Guys got their legs back yesterday and started a little slow when they came out Bryce challenged them in the huddle and they responded "Dominant practice for the defense today." Praised turnovers, "beautiful hits," and being physical Praised Moehrig, Ransom, Incoom, and Jones II Confirmed playing starters. Predominantly a young team and can't pass up an opportunity. Emphasized game day routines such as nutrition, body readiness, etc. Plus it's a bunch of new guys on the defense. Bryce will start. Will play them the first two, but starters might sit for the third game depending on how practice goes that week. Nic Scourton has a mild hamstring that happened in special teams. DJ Johnson had an issue with his hip flare up and is getting checked out this afternoon. Experimenting with approach to preseason games. In Seattle they played their starters in all but the last preseason game and what Pete Carroll was looking for in terms of mental readiness to play football. Thomas Incoom has been getting a lot of work with AC Carter adding to his toolbelt. Getting better as a rusher and being physical in the run game. Looking for a consistency in response. 1pt for a win, 3pts for a TD. Defense doesn't like that, but in games if they give up one go ball the score can swing. They challenged the pass game and the run game today. Guys are getting together before, between, and after team drills to challenge each other Job of the coaching staff to set the foundation for our schemes, philosophy, and expectations of what it's like to play Panthers football. Powerful when players take that and the locker room owns it. That's when it becomes our team, their team. At the end of the day, the men on the field have to rebound from a bad play, celebrate the good plays, and keep each other in tune for a whole game. Robert Hunt is amazing. Size, talent, quickness, flexibility. Really intelligent guy that there will say himself there are technique things he needs to work on. Regardless of where players are at, there's a constant learning curve and loves that Big Rob is challenging himself with the position coach. Thinks the digital down and distance can be really valuable. Getting the information quickly will help with the flow of the game. Thought TMac looked great but there were some near misses that he'll have to get in the room and communicate with Bryce on while reviewing film. James Mitchell keeps doing right and his trust factor is increasing with the QBs. If you're right and the coverage says the ball goes there, it'll come. Had some issues at the start of camp but is trending up. Newton or Person: "It looked like today was beyond thud but short of live. What do you call that?" Canales: "No, that's thud. In my mind, that's what thud should look like. The challenge for our defensive guys is can you put your body in a position where we know that would've been a tackle." Whizzing by, tagging with two hands, etc doesn't show you whether you would've made a tackle. That's not real football. Let's the play extend because guys have to be ready to chase sometime where the ball squirts out from a pit. Can't train to say "Ah, it was a tackle" and relax but instead play with intensity through the whistle. Lathan Ransom is bringing the physical style of play that they saw on film. Has been really into the details and someone that they can count on. Has really given himself a chance to start at the other safety position. Excited for the extra energy from a game-like environment that they'll get from FanFest. Used to have four preseason games and now FanFest feels like that first one. Will give ST full speed reps to evaluate. Making plays and feeding off of the fans. Window closed quickly on the INT to finish practice. CSW baited Bryce with some movement and made a great play. Saw it from Bryce's perspective with TMac coming open. Has played all over the secondary that they can count on to speak loudly and be on the same page with his teammates.
