Winners:

Edwards - possibly the most impressive offensive player on the field not named Steve Smith

Porter - Showed very soft hands and an acrobatic catch on the sideline.

Sutton - First string snaps.

Clausen - Took a lot of snaps with the second string already, has more zip on the ball than anyone else

Losers:

Goodson - Beaten out for the 3rd rb spot

Cantwell - looks like the odd man out already

Kenny Moore - Watch your back, Edwards is closing quick

Things that cannot be assessed while watching minicamp:

run defense

rushing the passer

pass blocking

run blocking

basically anything that requires actual physical contact, as it is not allowed until actual training camp in July.

Yeah, I was pissed we got him at first, because I think Moore earned the job by helping rescue our season last year.

But I got looking at some of his highlights.... the kid can zing the ball, and is scary accurate. He also seems to throw very well on the run. Which is something we've never really had.

His college play looks like a mix between Tom Brady and Drew Brees. Not bad things to see in a guy.

If he can maintain that arm, and get something going with our new regime of receivers... who knows... maybe he'll be our "Tom Brees" and bring that Lombardi home in a few years.

Granted... best case scenario, Moore does it next year... but I'm not putting money on that.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
