Panthers coach Dave Canales said rookie RB Jonathon Brooks (knee) may not be ready for the start of training camp.
Canales also said Brooks has a ways to go before he is ready and the team will ease him into training camp. Brooks suffered a torn ACL late in his final season at Texas and is still recovering from the injury. Previous reports were optimistic that Brooks would be cleared by training camp, but Canales and the Panthers are now pumping the breaks. Chuba Hubbard and Miles Sanders are the next men up on Carolina’s depth chart. Hubbard proved far more effective than Sanders last year and would likely get the first crack at the starting gig if Brooks misses any time.

The good thing is RBs don't really need training camp as much as most other positions. Would obviously be better to have him, but he's either got vision/tackle-breaking/hands or he doesn't and one training camp isn't going to change much. Hopefully he's ready by preseason

therein lies the rub, the panthers are not a team that can sit a player for a year, our roster isnt anywhere close to that

uhh our roster and team expectations are exactly at a point where we can afford to sit/develop players. We need to build out a core and add talented players for the future period, nobody is expecting us to compete/contend this year. Teams solidly in their window (like the Chiefs, Bills, etc.) are ones who can't afford to use high picks or cap space on players who won't contribute immediately. 

I'd argue the main reason the Chiefs went back to back was their ability to draft immediate impact players the last 2 years. As a team squarely in the beginning of a rebuild we don't care about immediate impact, just starting to get some damn impact players at all. If they take a few years to develop so be it, we're not losing anything right now.

Dont waste your breath. You are talking to a guy who posts the same thing nearly 24/7

Its a 6 winish season, hes not going to be 100% for a while, should have just got a center or pass rusher or whatever and drafted a rb next year

Yeah, but it's lost development that could have gone to a player ready to play. I don't' really have a problem with it conceptually, just preferably not on a player drafted in the second round. 

Who knows though. Maybe this turns into a McGahee situation and he comes right in after all.

      I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.

      Eric Collins Calling First NFL Game (ours)

      Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.

      Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
