Ricky Spanish

I'd expect him to miss at least the first month of the season.

Nash even got his own little hype piece on panthers.com a few days back. Him or McCray might be closer to starting than we originally thought.

Can we all take a step back and appreciate the HUGE uptick in coverage compared to the past two weeks? We are at page 19 and it's been filled with updates throughout. Kudos to all that posted the tweets/updates.

they didn't really exist, he scared them away.

There's a solid chance we get extra eyes on the squad what with the NY Media and rest of the circus that follows Rodgers around, so hopefully we get some good insight all around.

He also had an inside track with Indy and Reich was their coach, so it isn't a stretch to say he still maintains some contact with parts of the Reich regime/staff.

Dude has more insight into this franchise than probably anyone, honestly. He's been through 4 coaching regime changes, 3 GMs, and 2 owners. Plus he's a long snapper so he just kind of gets to observe things without really being bothered. I'd love to sit and pick his brain about everything he's seen over the past 16 years. I'm sure it'd be informative.

I really have grown to love JJ and his personality over the years. He's the longest tenured Panther ever and he's still really damn good at his job, even if it's just long snapping. Hope he sticks around in some way shape or form after he eventually retires, I'm not ready for him to do so yet.

Last team practice before joint practices against the Jets on Wednesday and Thursday. Post em if you got em.

I guess I'm in the minority here but I think AR is going to surprise a lot of people this season. I don't think he's as far off as people think. He is going to make some bonkers athletic plays that are going to be highlights for years to come.

Just realized Houston was with Indy for 2 years under Reich in 19 and 20. Probably had something to do with the signing.

I was anticipating this. Not Houston specifically, but someone at OLB/DE I don't think people have been paying attention to the trend of seasoned vets with stuff left in the tank essentially waiting for Training Camp to conclude/almost be over before they sign. Happens every year now, vets hate TC.

Rhule prioritized getting Watson over keeping Reddick so he went to philly (One of many reasons we didn't keep him). Time to move on.

You can't use that spot elsewhere, it's an emergency QB roster spot that doesn't count to your roster total on game days: https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-owners-pass-proposal-to-allow-teams-to-have-third-qb-active-on-game-days-wit You gotta look at it like we have two rookie QBs this year since he didn't really do anything all of last year. We have him under contract for the next couple years for super cheap, there's no point in getting rid of him, especially if he can develop into a #2 down the line, or even into trade bait for the end of his contract.

I don't think they plan on dealing him this year. Probably seeing what they have in him this season so they can see what to do with him next year. There was that new rule implemented because of what happened to SF where it's essentially a free roster spot for a QB on gamedays now.

He's a 3rd round pick from the previous regime who hasn't played meaningful football in over 2 years. He got screwed the moment we drafted him unfortunately. I would love to see him turn it all around and become a stud, but the opportunities to do so will be few and far between. The only way I see him getting some PT is if we are eliminated from playoff contention relatively early and BY gets hurt. If we're still in contention they'll throw Dalton out there to keep the ship steady until Bryce heals up, but if we are sucking they could play Corral to see what they have in him. His journey to relevancy is going to be a long and difficult one.

You're not wrong. I miss the daily photo threads we would get at TC too. It was good times. Zod used to have more access to the team, which lead to better content on here. Tepper bought the team and a lot of the access a bunch of third parties were privy to (Zod, Bill Voth, Roaring Riot, etc.) kind of went away when the media was all brought in house. Because of that, Zod has had to focus on other areas of work in order to keep the lights on. The restricted access coupled with the poor performance of the team over the past 5 or so years has really lead to a downgrade in coverage for the team in general. In short, this gif:

There hasn't been much on him. He is getting the PJ Walker equivalent reps this TC, which is more than last year but still not a lot. From the small clips I've seen here and there he still has plenty of zip on all his throws, I think he definitely has the strongest arm on the team.

Follow up tweet from Joe: Water is wet. I know a lot of people are high on Chuba, and he did RUN the ball better last year compared to the year before, but he can not catch a cold. He has stone hands and he is the worst receiving back on the team. When CMC went down, it wasn't just a noticeable dropoff in the RB receiving game because he wasn't being utilized, he was, he just dropped damn near everything thrown his way. I wouldn't be surprised to see Blackshear take 3rd down duties and slowly work into the running rotation as Chuba is fazed out as the year progresses.

I'm not expecting anything from him this year. Hurst was brought in to catch passes, Thomas is the blocker. I will say it was pretty telling what Tremble said about how they are actually being coached and taught things by their TE coach for the first time since he's been there, so everyone in that room might improve compared to last season.

Dude, this is awesome. I love this.

Also, regarding Trey Lance - A stat that blew my mind: Tom Brady threw more passes last season (799) than Trey Lance has thrown in his HS, College, and Pro Career COMBINED (798).
