Hey! Lets draw conclusions from OTA's and offseason practices!

Before anyone starts spouting off about how any of the draft picks look in OTAs or summer school let me give my annual reminder of how those practices mean absolutely nothing in terms of how the rookies will look this year.

They are not allowed any contact. Trying to evaluate a rookie DT or LB without allowing them to touch other players is like evaluating a tennis player without a tennis ball.

Want to talk about their work ethic, punctuality, or haircut? Fine.

Want to draw conclusions on how they look? Ridiculous

We won't have any clue on how these guys progress until a couple weeks into training camp when they put on their pads and have their first scrimmage.

I know I know, you all know this already.

Love,

Zod

also, WRs dropping passes and even QBs overthrowing them isn't really an issue at that point.

it's more important learning routes and where everyone is supposed to be and their assignments. they can fine tune the stuff in TC. it's ok to make mistakes in the learning stage.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
