Camp Battles. Who will win?

[koolkatluke]

Jobs that are up for Grab going into camp IMO.

1. #2 CB (Norman, Thomas, Dockerey)

2. SS (Mitchell, Campbell, Lester)

3. RG (Edmund, Hanggertner)

4. RT (Campbell, Bell)

5. #3, #4, #5, and if we carry a #6 WR's. (Adams, Hixon, Gettis, Pilaris, Edwards, Bryant, Ginn)

6. #3 TE (Rosario, Williams)

Who do you think will will win these battles? My picks are

1. Josh Norman

2. Mike Mitchell

3. Hangertner

4. Bell

5. Hixon, Gettis, Ginn, Adams (I'm hoping we find a way to keep Byrant)

6. Rosario

#2 CB: Josh Thomas

SS: D.J. Campbell

RG: Geoff Hangertner

RT: Byron Bell

WR: Gettis + Hixon + Ginn + Pilares

#3 TE: Rich Brockel

Agree with this, but I think Hangartner will lose his spot to Kugbila during the regular season.

I think out outside corners will end up being both Josh's vs Florence.

Slot corner comes down Moore vs Captain vs the loser of the outside corner competition.

SS I agree with whos battling but might add D.J Moore in that mix too. As far as who wins, no clue yet.

RG is likely still Hagmans job. If love to see Kugzilla take it from tho.

RT- no chance Bell gets best out by Campbell

Receivers. Safest bet is to say Hixon takes over the role Murphy played. Just can't rely in Gettis but he has some talent. I agree with who you have making the roster there assuming Gettis comes back healthy.

TE- I don't think # 2 or 3 is settled yet.

DT- this should be an interesting battle between Dwan and Kawann. Gettleman obviously thinks the rookie has got a decent shot at winning, we shall see.

Good thread btw.. Glad someone wants to talk actual football

[La Pantera]

The DB battles and the WR are going to be great this season. Not trying to guess who wins out just yet. But I will say I don't think there's even a battle between Bell and Campbell. Campbell will be the backup LT. The battle will be between Bell and Williams. And Bell easily wins that.

So is the assumption that Florence is the #1 corner?

[Jackofalltrades]

So is the assumption that Florence is the #1 corner?

I think he will be, though I'd prefer it be Josh Thomas.

[panther4life]

So is the assumption that Florence is the #1 corner?

I read it the same way which would be wrong to do. I feel there's a very good chance both Johs's beat him out.

[JawnyBlaze]

My guesses in bold:

1. #2 CB (Norman, Thomas, Dockerey)

2. SS (Mitchell, Campbell, Lester)

3. RG (Edmund, Hanggertner)

4. RT (Campbell, Bell)

5. #3, #4, #5, and if we carry a #6 WR's. (Adams, Hixon, Gettis, Pilaris, Edwards, Bryant, Ginn)

6. #3 TE (Rosario, Williams)

Norman better show up ready to play if he's going to beat out Josh Thomas. IMO Thomas has outplayed him in just about every way so far so going into training camp I'd have to give him the nod

[poorboysrev]

I expect Hixon to be #3. Ginn's pretty much just a returner and Gettis hasn't played in so long who knows what we have in him. I seriously doubt that we go into training camp without signing a vet RG. That is our biggest hole right now but an easy one to fill.

[chknwing]

I dont think Hangardner makes it to the regular season

[nosuchthingasapanther]

the panthers expect norman to be the number 1 corner.

from rotoworld...

Panthers GM Dave Gettleman said CB Josh Norman came back from his 2012 rookie-year benching as a "different kid."

Norman, the No. 143 pick out of Coastal Carolina last year, started the first 12 games but rode the bench for the final four weeks. Entering the league, Norman had a reputation for "guessing routes," and that's what got him in trouble as a rookie. As it stands right now, he's Carolina's No. 1 corner. The feeling inside the organization is Norman can develop into a top-tier cover man.

[top dawg]

If Lamont Bryant is any good, we shouldn't have to "find" a way to keep him. Bryant had better "find" himself. His physical stature is beast like. Assuming that he has good hands, he has had months to get his route running up to snuff. This training camp may not tell if he has what it takes to reach his ceiling from the perspective of his potential, but it should indicate if he has what it takes to be a legit pro.
