I don't really know too much about him, and never really saw him play except in limited pre-season work. The Panthers took him in the third round in 2006 as a weak side (Will) linebacker out of Virginia Tech. We could really use someone young to step into the strong side position that is held by Diggs.

Why hasn't this kid been used more there? Has anyone seen him play, and does he look like he may of been a bust, or has he progressed throughout the years here. Anyone with any kind of information as to how he has done so far and does it look are done developing him so far would be appreciated long time huddle fans. He looked like a solid prospect out of college with pretty good speed and strength.

Yeah, he was a damned fine player in college and a damned fine one for us last year late in the season in admitted limited access. I think he's ready to excel, he's certainly not a throwaway...

He definitely is fast and I have noticed him in passing situations some. He also did not suit up every game either last year. It will be hard for him to see a bunch of playing time as long as Davis is healthy, and even if he got hurt, not sure if Anderson would come in before Johnson either. Does anyone remember if it was weak or strong side where Connor was working out last year? If Connor was working weak side, then the Anderson era may be very limited, I hope he sticks around personally.

I just think we would be better suited giving someone playing time who can actually develop under it more. Diggs is past peaked and didn't Johnson's last year at Cinci he played MLB? I wish I would know more about Connor at one of the OLB positions, its time to find our starter of the future at SAM.

Last year during cuts, a lot of emphasis was put on ST, where he was needed. With so much young talent in camp this year, they may look to start devoloping some new guys. If thats the case, Anderson has to be one of the ones on the bubble.

diggs hasn't exactly peaked, he certainly doesn't have fresh legs but he's having a bit of a resurgance here in carolina, until somebody can unseat him he should be the starter

If I remember correctly, our starter was injured his rookie season I believe towards the end of the season, and he had a very good game against New Orleans. He had a 1 or 2 sacks and got a lot of pressure on the QB. I've always liked what I've seen from him, but I think despite his strength and speed, he may have problems on non-passing downs... That's the only thing I can figure as to why he doesn't get on the field.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
