updates from OTAs.(you can look at the past reports by clicking on the month and then going to the days)

Some interesting stuff.

Another sign the Panthers will look different on offense this year. “I think getting into a new offense you’re going to see things that you haven’t seen before and you’re going to have to adapt to what you see on the field,” said FB Tony Fiammetta. “The more you see things, the better you’re going to get.”

Carolina's DT rotation remains up in the air, but look for Tank Tyler andLouis Leonard to be running with the first team once players get into padded drills this summer.

Although most observers are under the assumption Mackenzy Bernadeau will take over for Keydrick Vincent as the team's starting RG this season, several sources inside the team said not to rule out converted T Geoff Schwartz as a possible starter there

OL Geoff Schwartz hopes to win the team's starting RG spot. "I'm excited just to have an opportunity to start," he said. "I don't mind guard. It's a little different than tackle, but nothing I can't get used to." He'll battle Mackenzy Bernadeau for that spot

don't forget about Duke Robinson for RG. he says he's pumped for the opportunity... but considering Bernadeau and Schwartz got actual playing time last season, I'm already penciling Robinson in as the #1 backup.

Updates from today(I hope they give Connor a real shot)

Although it was expected Dan Connor would compete for the vacant SLB spot with James Anderson, Connor said he hasn't worked at all at that spot in OTAs; he's practiced exclusively at MLB backing up Jon Beason. "I'm not in charge, so I just kind of go with," Connor said.

Rookie DE Greg Hardy is opimistic about his chance with Carolina, saying, "I feel like there is definitely a place for me to come in and play, contribute and start a couple of games. ... I feel like I should dominate at every level I'm at."

Hardy dropped to the sixth round in part because of injuries but it's motivated him because he feels as if he has something prove. "I'm a late-round draft pick and everybody has some questions," Hardy said. "But I have to come in and show them what I can do."

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
