Just learned that Dan Connor has a twitter account (DanConnor55) for those of you who are interested.

Among other things, he tweeted the following response to someone asking him how he felt about Rivera:

I'm real excited for the change. Got to meet with Coach Rivera a few times over the past 2 weeks, and he's the real deal.

I noticed another post saying Beason may not be the ideal MLB in a JJ d-scheme. Does Connor have the intangibles that could potentially have him come in as the ideal MLB? I'm not sure how we could get Beason, Connor, Anderson and Davis all on the field at the same time or enough reps to satisfy their potential/talent. I wonder if we may end up trading one or rotating. I'm no defensive guru but I don't see how we could efficiently run 4 LBers in certain packages that would mesh well with their skill sets.

with how many injuries we suffered this year, depth is really good

Thomas Davis will probably have to come back slowly to a reduced role or to splitting snaps with James Anderson. If he wants to stay here, he's going to have to take a pay cut and a role reduction from what he could get in other places. I think his injury lead to a discovery in Anderson that may have made him expendable as much as I hate that idea. I say keep them all if we can keep them all happy, but I don't think we can. Connor played his ass off last year and deserves a chance to start here.

Couple of problems with this. First of all, for Connor to start, Beason would have to move back to the weakside, and I don't think anyone wants him there when he is so much better at MLB. And Anderson established himself at SLB, which was not Davis' best position. He was thriving at WLB prior to his injury. And that is the position I see him competing for again...and currently we don't have anybody established at weakside that could push him to a backup role. Of course, I have also heard that Rivera may go after a couple of his guys from SD, so that could throw a monkey wrench into the whole thing. But that's just speculation, so there may not be any teeth to it.

Also, I don't believe TD will struggle to come back like some believe. He's already shown he is a quick healer, and now he'll have more than a year to get ready...which should be more than enough time. Not to mention his rehab was on the fast track to come back by the end of this past season (until our season was lost and coming back early became pointless). And from what I understand, he hasn't had any setbacks that should prevent him from being 100% by TC.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.

      Vet QB Options - Trade/Cut/FA Edition

      Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor.

      Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
