Cam Newton had a sense of what the Panthers were getting when they drafted Kuechly, having seen him up close at the IMG academy. In training camp, Newton says Kuechly’s play recognition has forced the quarterback to throw passes into the ground because the rookie has destroyed the play.

"Luke is a wonderful person. Secondly, he’s an unbelievable football player," Newton says.

"Looking at him, you don’t think he has that fierce attitude on the field but looks may be deceiving."

Beason says he and Kuechly have had several long conversations, not just about football, but about other things.

"Some guys could be real shut off to you. Jon and all the guys have been very helpful and willing to help me out," Kuechly says. For me, it’s just go in and listen and do what I’m told at this point. I’m the young guy. You’ve got to earn the respect.

The veterans still make the rookie carry their shoulder pads as is NFL tradition -- Kuechly could be seen trudging up the hill from practice Thursday night, carrying Beason and Anderson’s equipment in the muggy heat -- but they’ve brought him into their circle.

"He is a rookie but we’ve opened the door and said you’re one of us," Beason says. "We don’t treat him like a rookie and we don’t expect him to play like that, either."

What is the deal so far with getting things with Kuechly wrong?

His date of birth on the Panthers website and according to the media is wrong. He turned 21 in April.

Next we can't spell his name right on his practice jersey.

Respect is coming, but really? These are easy details.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
