Wouldn't they have to switch his jersey number if he is listed as a RB on the roster?

He doesn't really line up like a traditional running back. And why would he, we have two of the best RBs in the league. What Pilares does is move around. Almost like that Aaron Hernandez run in the playoffs last year. Percy Harvin is another great example.

I'm hearing good things about Tauren Poole as well.

I think the RB's will be 1. Williams 2. Stewart 3. Poole, and Tolbert will play FB fulltime while taking snaps at #2 TE.

I keep hearing that Norman had a lot of playing time with the 1s on defense...but was this before or after Gamble had to take himself out of practice? I'm sure that had something to do with how much playing time Norman had out there. And who was opposite of him with the 1s...Munnerlyn? I haven't heard anything about Hogan either...where was he positioned? With the 2s or 3s or what? Any impressions on him?

Thanks for all the insight. I know it's not a sexy topic, but was Brad Nortman out-punting Nick Harris? Just wondering who has the leg-up in that camp battle.. pun intended.

Also, wondering how Frank Alexander and Amini Silotolu looked. Thanks Zod.

Good Job! You posed the question is it the Cam effect? I certainly agree that that is part of it but I have also noticed this year the Rivera and Chud effect as well. If my memory serves me well I cant recall a year when everyone was at camp with such an enthusiastic outlook.(including the fans).I think the players both respect Rivera but also know that there is competition at every position.One of the many differences in Rivera and Fox is the emphasis by Rivera to have competition through the entire depth chart.At this point my biggest worry is everyone staying healthy.

haven't been, but i'm thinking that nortman's draft pick and his soon to be legendary hang time is going to win him the job.

Rivera was praising him on an interview on panthers.com.I think he will get some playing time,

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Im not angry. Im disappointed. I want to win. Anyone who has watched Bryce play the last 3 years and thinks that this team has in any way seriously addressed the glaring deficiencies in our QB room is deluding themselves. It's been explained ad nauseum how our FO has protected Bryce from feeling even slightly challenged or pressured. A GM without an interfering owner would have brought in another QB to at least give the team a better chance at winning. We just gave an extension to a QB that only got 3k yards on the last play of his 16th game of the year. Indy admitted AR wasn't good enough by bringing in Jones to compete for the starting role. Tennessee drafted Ward to replace Levis. Stroud hasn't repeated his 1st year and Mills' performance was decent when he filled in after Stroud's injury and some were calling for him to remain starter. His future there is still in question even with a 5th year. We should have done the same, especially given that Bryce was benched.  Bringing in Grier is just another glaring billboard pronouncing the obvious. Dave Tepper still has his hands in the daily operations of this team. He controls the QB room because Bryce was his pick. Until Tepper finally admits that Bryce has barely lived up to the standards of a NFL Qb, we're going to spend our days reminiscing of when we were mediocre and finished 9-7.  It's just discouraging. We'll address every position on the field except the one with a glaringly obvious shortcoming. I had hoped Tepper really had backed off. Bryce's 5th year, Dalton's 2 year contract then trade, Kenny Pickett, Will Grier, Jack Plummer, and  Hendon Hooker say otherwise. It already feels like it's going to be a hard year of Panthers football to watch.
