Dan Connor-LB- Panthers Aug. 3 - 6:05 pm et

The Rock Hill Herald's Darin Gantt confirms that new Panthers MLB Dan Connor is not practicing as part of the team's nickel package.

The two nickel 'backers are WLB Jon Beason and SLB James Anderson. Connor isn't going to be an every-down player, so it's hard to get too excited about his prospects in IDP leagues. Beason remains the Carolina linebacker to target.

thats what i do in madden for what its worth. you want the best guys on the field for what you are trying to do. if you drop a linebacker in normal situations it would be the will on madden by default. in last years roster that would take davis out and leave beason and diggs. that made no since to me so i would sub in davis. now i do the same thing for connor. i know that madden isnt real before i get reamed, bit it has a lot of real situations there and that just happens to be where i picked that up. im not surprised by that. connor is just a little slow to stay in in deff passing downs.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
