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

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.

      Best part is if we draft him, we can also use him as our fourth and one QB sneaker
