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.

      Would you take a chance on Cam Ward?

      I think where they would be picked if redrafted before both classes have played enough football to really tell.  Baker literally looked like a washout with us after Cleveland gave up on him, then turned world beater with the Rams, got a prove it deal with the Bucs and has looked awesome ever since. Asking where Ward would’ve went had he went in ‘24 is just stupid.  I’m no GM, but I wouldn’t have taken Williams #1 either.  I would’ve taken Joe Milton way higher than he went.  I think Shadeur should’ve been a first round pick this year.  Point being, opinions are like buttholes, everybody has one.  It’s my opinion that Ward has that “something special.”  I get that feeling that he’ll be an even better pro than he was a collegiate QB because of whatever that quality is.  I think he’s gonna surprise a lot of people, especially being such an under appreciated first overall pick.

      Where do we get our T-shirts and hats? Pretty sure this is the first championship ever in professional basketball or football in Charlotte!

      Nice turnaround for Kon.  I’m still a little worried about his ability to create for himself and others, but it was SL.  Come regular season, he will playing a much different role and shots will be there for him.  He showed some reason for hope - and not just him, but the whole squad.  I suppose for the first time ever, we have drafted and acquired enough young talent that we actually not only competed for once, but won the whole thing in summer league.     Kon, Simpson, and Sims made all the difference.  Almost every year prior I felt we always struggled because we usually didn’t have a floor general/real PG to get us into offense.  This was such a breath of fresh air.  And look at us!  We finally are champions!😂
