Official Training Camp News Thread...

DE Charles Johnson said after the season he put on about 10 pounds while working at Maake Kemoeatu’s football camp for kids in Waikiki Beach, Hawaii. “That Hawaiian food is hard to resist,” Johnson said with a laugh. Since then, Johnson has dropped those 10 pounds along with an additional 10 more to get down to 279, a weight he feels he’s comfortable playing at. "I'm a lot quicker now," he said.

The Panthers like what they see out of rookie DE Greg Hardy, but at this point the team has no plans to move him inside on pass-rushing downs as they like to do with DE Charles Johnson.

“He probably could from a temperament standpoint and strength and speed,” said defensive line coach Brian Baker said of Hardy. “Problems with it is, him being a rookie, he has to learn everything up front in our sub package -- and that’s a lot. I want him to get down the base stuff first and the nickel stuff as an end, and if he can handle more we can explore it.

“I’d like to do that. I like to have moving parts and matchups. I’m just not sure he’s ready for that.”

    • These arguments are getting more and more disingenuous from both the pro and anti Bryce crowd. Bryce looked very good for stretches down the final 8 games. He finally showed glimpses of the guy that was projected as a top QB pick in the draft. Bryce also didn't look like a top 10 NFL QB.  I think we are so far removed from Prime Cam that we forget what an elite QB looks like. I could tell that when people were losing their minds and simping for Sam Darnold. This season needs to finally showcase Bryce as a franchise talent. If that doesn't happen, it's time to pivot. There are very few recent examples of QB's struggling or being a mixed bag through the first three seasons of starting and then suddenly becoming frachise caliber players.
    • See that's the thing what I saw in game 2 was so embarrassing id rather they could just forfeit 
    • Are you arguing that his height deficiencies and footwork within the pocket have not been a present issue clearly seen on his game tape particularly in the games he struggled in? Because that's simply denying what everyone in this fanbase who have watched the games have seen. It's interesting how hardline BY fans here quickly and effortlessly pivot from whailing about being victimized to becoming the aggressor and hurling out allegations of bias and hatred. And at the end of the day while Bryce Young clearly improved significantly from the first two games of the season the reality of the situation is he still finished 42nd in yards per pass attempt behind Mac Jones and tied with Caleb Williams and 38th in passing yards per game behind the likes of Gardner Minshew Aidan O'Connell Drake Maye and Will Levis. Furthermore it took Bryce Young 23 games to surpass Panthers legend Kyle Allen's 13 games worth of passing yardage in 2019. So if your argument is he became a head and shoulders better passer over the course of the second half of the season the reality is we're still waiting to see that growth this season. And there is nothing controversial or vitriolic about saying so from the mind of a rational observer.
