was looking for some more info on him and stumbled upon this article

http://www.examiner.com/sports-in-charlotte/pilares-believes-he-is-ready-to-contribute

His opinion on Newton:

“I always saw him on television,” Pilares said. “It is crazy what kind of physical specimen that guy is. He is huge, and he is a great quarterback. He is definitely the greatest athlete in this draft. He is a baller. He is a good football player. Just to be on the same team with that guy I’m thankful. And I’m looking forward to working out with him.”

lots more in the actual article. After reading up on this guy he's becoming my favorite pick in the draft.

If they have to let Munnerlyn start at corner, I see Pilares taking over at PR. Maybe even if Munnerlyn isn't a starter. And he may even compete with Goodson for KR.

Depending on what happens with Smitty is going to determine how much Pilares actually contibutes in the passing game. At the very least he will be Smitty's primary backup even over Amanti Edwards who will probably be fighting for a roster spot as the primary backup for Gettis. As I pointed out in another thread, this team now has three starting WR, much the same way Fox always said that the nickleback is a starter on defense. Expect at least 6 WR to make the final roster, if not more. But I think Pilares easily become the #2 Slot and #1 Slot if Smitty leaves.

im a HUUUUUUUUGEEE newton fan.. but i completely see myself getting a Pilares jersey - that kid is going to be a monster. And by god if we still have Steve Smith on this roster.. The Panthers Might go to the Superbowl - Yes i said that. Superbowl -

I have no idea why people underestimate Newton - From just checking out his highlights video - that kid seems to be an Upgraded Roethlisberger - And we have an Offensive line - new coaching staff.. Our defense beleive it or not was intact, we also have one of the best defensive co ordinators around. Matt "Ballerina" Ryan and Drew Brees will have one nasty time with that guy. Of course - we now know what that tampa kid brings - weve seen a more premium version of that "Michael Vick" so now hes a known commodity.

This team is going to be Something.

I hope he doesn't. He has a good motor and heart but I'd much rather see Gamble, Marshall, and Hogan... i think that's a stout group right there

This kid is going to go down as one of our best draft picks. I'm telling you, once I saw his name flash on the screen, I immediately thought, "this is the kind of WR that the Pats and Colts take in the later rounds"

I agree. And even if Marshall isn't back, Hogan is a carbon copy of Marshall (if not better). Good tackler, decent in coverage but not spectacular. If Hogan can cover better he'll be an upgrade. Watching his youtube videos, I LOVE his tackling.

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      By Saca312 · Posted

      It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

      CBS Sports brief discussion about questionable Canales decision making

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
