Is it me or does training camp/preseaon have a lot more dark horse/underdog talents to root for?

This might be one of the most interesting camps i can recall. Everyone knows the big name talent we have and early round picks, but i look forward to seeing The return of gaydosh the Canadian farm beast. Not to mention alex hall another Canadian prospect whom i look forward to seeing push for a spot. I see craig roh is back who played pretty well when i saw him.As many of you know am excited to see Noel devine in  any role for the team if only for the preseason,but with that said there are also people like dorian dickerson former combine standout who couldn't find a role in the league thus far. I have heard good things about darring reaves and  the rookie and philly brown has a shot at making some noise. Not to mention seeing what mcnutt and king can do with more time on the field. Harvey Unga was a decent prospect coming out of college and could suprise at fb. And how could i forget year two of the old "swole bones project".Shawn powell has a nfl leg at punter but i dout he takes the job. 

 

I don't think there has been a more interesting group of cast aways and unproven talent that we have brought in years. Here is to an exciting camp and hopefully good preseason football!

I would really like to see Brandon Williams step in a be a reliable receiving threat

This, I've been waiting to see this guy on the field. Hope he puts it all together and contributes this year.

I feel like there aren't very many exciting battles

 

RS: Kealoha Pilares vs Philly Brown vs Kenjon Barner

3rd RB: Kenjon Barner vs Tyler Gaffney

Last WR: Philly Brown vs Tavarres King vs Marvin McNutt vs Kealoha Pilares
RG: Trai Turner vs Chris Scott vs Garry Williams vs Edmund Kugbila

CB Depth Chart???: Antoine Cason, Melvin White Charles Godfrey, Bene Benwikere, Josh Norman, James Dockery, Carrington Byndom

 

Then we have a bunch of poo as OL depth.

 

I'm assuming we're going to sign a LT with Bell moving to RT uncontested.

There's a player trying out by the name of Dorin Dickerson who is really intriguing to me - he is one hell of an athlete.  How's this for a combine:

 

6'1 226 lbs

Arm Length: 34"

Hand size: 9 3/4"

40 yard dash: 4.40 sec

Bench Press: 24 reps

Vertical Jump: 43.5 inches

Broad Jump: 125.0 inches

3 cone drill: 6.96 seconds

20-yard shuttle: 4.30 seconds

 

Plus he's versatile - he played some fullback, tight end, and wide receiver in college..granted probably not at an extremely high level or he wouldn't currently be trying out for an NFL team.  He's also 26, so the combine results are from 4 years ago.  Panthers.com has him listed as a fullback...can you imagine a fullback with those kinds of measurables?  He could be something of a Marcel-Reese type.

Yeah I think he's going to earn one of the tackle position and I'm going to go out on a limb and say the other side will be covered by kugbila. 

 

Think again. As long as Bell Has those pictures from 10 years ago of Richardson whipping midgets in his secret underground bogangles sweat shop Bell is in GOD mode.

Good depth chart to show the upcoming camp battles. I believe they may be moving Gary Williams back to tackle for depth. Hopefully there is a tackle out there we will pick up.

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      By fanpanther · Posted

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.

      In my dream, we somehow luck into a top 2 pick and someone wants a QB bad and doesn’t want anyone else to jump them. Somehow we’ll probably screw up the picks anyway, but it would be nice to do even partially what Chicago did to us. We’d have to lose out, which is a decent possibility unless Tampa is resting. We need Atlanta to stay within a game because Atlanta beat Tampa twice. The rest of the draft slots are who knows because Jax plays the Raiders and then Tennessee and you never know who will rest starters. I think we are top 7 unless we somehow pull out 2 more wins. The 4 win teams have higher SOS and there is only one 5 win team with the same SOS. If we win 1 of 3, we still should stay in top 7. If we lose out and the Jax games work for us, we can easily be top 3.
