Winners

Beason - Put on a clinic

Williams - looks sharp

Connor - Looks like Morgan lite

D-Line - So far so good, did not look awful like expected

Sutton - Had the nicest grab of the day on a fade route for a TD.

Losers

Tony Pike - looks roughest out of all QB's

WR's - lots of drops/picks today

Edwards - dropped 3 punts in a row. ?????

I can't say I didn't expect Edwards to perform poorly at punt returns (actually I've been saying that for quite some time). He's just not accustomed to doing it. I worry that this is going to be another year where we've got lots of guys who seem to have potential returning, but no one really steps up. Maybe Witherspoon can be that guy.

I'm actually getting a bit excited about seeing how Beason does at WLB with Connor in at MLB. I would never wish Davis gone, but it sounds like they're going to be okay.

It's still early. I'm hoping the bad reports are just a case of shaking off the rust. And I think Armanti Edwards gets a pass (or catches one - get it?) for a little while as he's still schooling a new position. Let's see how it looks in a couple of weeks.

Certainly, I really didn't expect him to make a difference as a returner.

If you remember last year, everyone thought Goodson would excel there; he bobbled his fair share as well. Same with Munnerlyn.

Sutton may be okay with kick returns, but I wonder who will handle punt return duties.

Everything happens for a reason. Hopefully the positive that comes from the Davis injury is that Connor becomes a force in the middle. If it goes SLB/Connor/Beason does Beason still wear the helmet with the transmitter down the road? Most teams have an ILB wearing it, no?

    • I think we have some revisionist around it here because of all the drama around Tepper's involvement. If you pull up any scouting report from the time you'll see the same take. WalterFootball's report sums up the media's thoughts on him well: "Young has everything the NFL is looking for in a quarterback except in terms of weight and height." He was the consensus top QB of his draft and the only real question mark they had about him was whether his body could hold up in the NFL. The infamous Steph Curry comparison the Panthers latched onto came from Albert Breer. The excuses I've heard for him are more anecdotal. Bryce Young's development is the only bullet point most NFL fans have on the Panthers right now. That and the coaching turnover. If you're not actually watching our games it's easy to believe this is just a dysfunctional organization that doesn't know how to unleash this talented Heisman winner.  I've seen media and fans alike run with that narrative way more than criticizing Young outright. Whenever we win there's flocks who use it as proof that the Panthers just need to be patient.  
    • So maybe 1-3 vs playoff teams, going by standings as of today. I guess that is an improvement.  We are just about improved enough to be in purgatory draft wise. It really isn’t so bad in the 1st unless you really want that top QB or maybe edge guy because there are usually plenty of good players at the top but it hurts you some as get deeper in the draft.
