Panthers Camp Report on Sirius

Lol that post was filled with innuendo.

Short answer: Yes.

Shelton has the talent to be a monster back for the Panthers. I hope he does =)

[Novar]

I doubt its mental issues, the kid can play, we had too much faith in Davis, Foster and WTF Goings, not enough room for him. He will do the damn thing this spring...mark my words..

[Steve35]

giving the right coaching and training this offseason, he can come back as possibly the feature back, it always open. it all depends on if he studies during the offseason

[kalap]

Well, the draft will be the big clue. If we draft a RB on day one, then we don't really have full confidene in our current staff. If we get another every down type, Shelton is screwed. Shelton at worst will take Stephen Davis' spot as our power back and short yardage guy.

I think Shelton really could be an asset for our team in '06. I just don't feel comfortable entering the season with him as our #2. We need to add more depth at RB. Either through the draft or FA.

I think our offseason moves will tell how much faith the team has in Shelton. I also think the year on IR was very humbling for him and hopefully he will be a better player for it.

I feel fine with Shelton at #2. I think he'll be fine.

[Veron314]

I feel fine with Shelton at #2. I think he'll be fine.

I guess it really depends on who the #1 is.

^^^^

Very true

[cockypanther]

I dont know if I like the idea of him being number 2 yet.

I think he will be very good, but I dont want the season to end again because we dont have a decent depth.

I really hope we go for some depth at RB this season. I dont mean be blowing a 1 rounder on one, or paying out the ass. But getting some good players.

But then again, we might have the right depth, just an unlucky season.

Go Panthers 06

I look for him to be one of those backs that forces holes that aren't there in weak D-lines.

He also needs to learn patience in waiting for schemes to develop and not try to make things happen too quickly.

I feel fine with Shelton at #2 but if Going is our #1 then I don't.

[Veron314]

I feel fine with Shelton at #2 but if Going is our #1 then I don't.

If Foster is our #1, then I don't want Shelton as #2. We just need more depth than that.

i read somewhere months ago that he just wasn't picking up the playbook or pass protection at all. i'll have to go back and find it later, as i'm at work right now. but he wasn't ready for it just about every way concievable. which is kind of disappointing when you consider that a henning run offense is pretty basic and simple. BUT AGAIN, I HOPE THAT HE DOESN'T TURN OUT TO BE A BUST. I WANT HIM TO SUCCEED. (i got a negative rep for stating what i read about whenever i first posted in this thread. i made that sentence all caps since it's how i truly feel about the issue). he has a lot of things to work on and hopefully he's lived in that playbook all season long.
