CSR/James Dator camp review

Decent little write up.

All in all I'd say the

Carolina Panthers

look really good. It was a case where the defense looked really hungry, and the offense were more content going through the paces. In those situations you can't try and derive too much information, or draw sweeping conclusions. There were a few standout players, but this looks like a much better team overall. The depth players are stepping up, and we might be far deeper at WR and CB than even I expected.

Good write up but I do take issue with his characterization that young players who were putting it all on the line versus the vets were wasting energy or that saying guys need to give 100% on every play suggest lack of football knowledge. It really depends on who we are talking about. Perhaps veterans like Newton, or Kalil or Johnson may feel as if they can ease into things and be solid without giving it their all and be secured a position. Other guys are fighting for their NFL careers and are working hard to get noticed and make the cut. They recognize that if they don't give 100% on every play they won't be there for the marathon which is the NFL season. So while it is may be fine for established veterans to recognize that they are in a marathon, the 11 receivers all vying for 1 or 2 spots are in a mad sprint to convince the team to keep them around and should give everything they have to make the team. Many guys don't have the luxury to do anything but give 100% all the time.

Great read, highly suggest it.

I liked what I am hearing about Norman/Hogan out of that article. If we can start the season with Gamble at CB1, Norman CB2, and Hogan in the nickel, I think that makes for a pretty decent core with Captain at Hogan's heels. That report said Hogan played well but that Norman was clearly more talented , but I know that Hogan is a big physical corner that should excel when the pads come on and he can hit in run support. I think Norman might struggle to bring down the likes of DeAngelo, Stew, and Tolbert but hey, what corner wouldn't?

    • Also, just for clarity, is this thread meant for general discussion of Bryce Young, or discussion of General Bryce Young?  
    • The word I feel most comfortable using as a descriptor is "inconsistent". Haven't really seen anyone disagree with that. Consistency being one of the things I value most in a player, that makes me lean toward moving on. But he does still have both time and opportunity to prove otherwise. Mind you, having a streaky quarterback isn't exactly a new thing in Charlotte (you could argue it's been the norm). Delhomme was notorious for starting slow but finishing strong. He could sadly also find hos way into ruts that were difficult to crawl out of. Newton, on the other hand, was often known to start hot but fade late (the vast majority of the 2015 season followed that pattern) though it could be argued that was a team pattern as much as it was Cam's.  There are definitely some fans for whom this is always going to be a bridge too far. (or too short) Realistically, it's not impossible that he could still have a good career even with those issues. It's a damn sight more difficult, though. And arguably, less likely.
    • Oh, I did, and they weren't based in emotions either. Granted, characterizing them that way gives you an easy out to avoid responding to them. Similar tactic to dismissing the other guy's points with "nah, you didn't really watch the games" which saves you having to debate what he said. Strikes me as a kinda lazy way to go, but hey both elements are still back there if you feel up to trying later.
