Who Is Going To Lead This Locker Room?

Give me just a moment.

Who is going to lead this locker room and by definition define this upcoming year's team's attitude?

Cam is loud, cocky, funny, confident young lion. Smitty is the brooding, crafty, successful, locker-room quiet guy with the one-liners, that won't shut up with advice. Gross is the good-guy with the aw-shucks attitude but plenty of FU attitude on the field. Beast was once the unchallenged leader on dirt but then went down temporarily. Key is the most no-nonsense, let's get to business guy I have seen in my life. Rivera sets the tone, the players define the tone.

There is a reason teams with great drafts have not lived up to expectations, they never find a common goal/philosophy. Who does this team belong to on defense and offense?

My guess is Cam on O and quite possibly Luke on D.

Just because you get injured doesn't mean you are no longer the leader. It's been Beason's team ever since he was the one to have the balls to call Peppers out on his effort, or lack thereof.

Cam is growing into the leadership role and the wise veterans will make that happen while maintaining their own respected status...it should continue to be all about the team. It would be foolish not to prop Cam up as the leader and he should be more comfortable than ever taking on that role.

There is going to be ambiguity at Beason/Kuechly year two, maybe this year. Beast is my boy but Rivera is setting a new atmosphere, and it it is not accidental. Choose sides now because I do not think this will be amicable.

Not a chance in hell. Beason is the leader, even if he was moved to OLB (which I highly doubt.) There's no drama there.

    • He makes a good point about Wallace.  In fairness to Wallace it is hard to play your position as freely as you need to when your defensive line is getting pushed around like ragdolls.  One of the greatest attributes a defensive line has is sucking up blocks, freeing up your linebackers.  Our defensive line couldn't suck up a lollipop more or less blocks.  I think Evans, Sanders and Tremble are going to be a really nice TE group.  I can see all three getting time on the field.  If Sanders can improve as a blocker teams won't be so inclined to believe it is a pass play whenever Sanders is on the field.  Ryan Fitzgerald, I think was an awesome pick-up. Hopefully he can fill our kicker void. Luke Kandra many turn out to be our next Norwell.  Everything I have heard about him says he's a beast.  He needs some refinement, but the good news is he's got Hunt and Lewis (arguably the best guard tandem in the league) to learn from. 
    • Great teams build through the draft and have several young players that start that are on rookie contracts. It's important to hit on players in rounds 4 thru 7.  These should be future starters and solid depth.  When you hit on most of your picks you free up a lot of cap space for those one- or two-year players to fill spots you are thin at. No GM is going to perfect on all their picks.  You're going to whiff every once in a while.  That was Hurney problem.  He'd nail the first pick but after that it was reach after reach and we couldn't get any depth on this team. I'm excited about Morgan as our GM and hopefully he'll be around a long time.  It will be even better if Canales can continue to grow as a head coach, both in the development of young players and play calling. I remember last season after Young came back in the lineup and started to perform well.  We saw different plays I had only seen other teams use.   If Canales's play design and play calling continue to grow. Morgan and Canales will be linked together for a long time.  It would be nice to see a Coach and GM together for a decade or two. Go Panthers
