This is a possible Hardy sack or at least a pass disruption if he didn't slow up after burning Bell? If he extends and surges after rounding the corner he gets to Cam. He isn't allowed to in camp, so he slows up.

 

Sorry to be a Debbie Downer

I don't know. Hardy would have had to cut at a pretty hard angle to get to Cam since he was stepping up in the pocket.

 

He is really close to just extending his arms to get to the ball. I think he gets there if he was going at 100% and not 75%

It's 50/50 on whether Hardy makes that play.  It is clear that he lets up, but I think he was blocked out of the play pretty well by Bell. Bell also seems to let up a little on that second contact.  If he had wanted to, he could have pushed Hardy a little further away. Even if Hardy had been a step faster, I think Cam would still have gotten the ball out.  The placement on that throw was impressive and the receiver (Armanti) did an excellent job of making that grab.  From my perspective it looks like a solid play.

 

The other question would be if Gross would have handled that as well as Bell did there.

 

Probably in the reg season, Hardy makes that play on the opponent more times than not. Hopefully this is a sign that our offense can make huge plays like this when needed against good defenses.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      We’re in a pickle. My best hope is we protect him and can run the ball vs most Ds and the WRs are healthy so he has every chance to not look like what he looked like in too many games last year.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.
