James Bradberry vs Keyarris Garrett Rookie Camp

One of the more interesting matchups of Carolina Panthers rookie camp was corner James Bradberry vs receiver Keyarris Garrett. 

Second round pick vs UDFA. 

Here is a three frame look from one play in particular I found interesting.

Garrett breaks free on a comeback route. Bradberry quickly closes in and is in Garrett's hip pocket. Notice Bradberry's hand on the football and the football only. This really is a solid play by Bradberry.

However, Garrett is able to maintain control of the ball and bring it into his body. Strong hands this kid has. Might have to do with why he led the nation in receiving last year.

When it was over Garrett still had the ball in hand as he checked out his leg that may have been nicked on the play (he was fine). 

Bradberry had a look on his face that says he knows it was a good play on his part, just happened to be a better receiving play.

A decent play by a second round pick, but an even more impressive play for the undrafted free agent with something to prove. 

Read into this what you will.

Nice.

I know it's WAY early, but I'm reading into it that our excitement about Garrett as a "free draft pick" (Ricky Proehl's words) may not be unfounded.  This guy may well be one of the steals of the draft.  Really intense WR battle ahead in camp.

And Bradberry looks like he's got promise as well.

Funchess was on the sidelines yesterday just hanging out and asked the same question. 

Can't even imagine what it's like being on the practice field with these guys let alone a game field. Very envious of you Mr. Igo and thank you for the coverage you bring us Huddlers.

So, meaning that Gman did it once again? Should I go buy my 24 jersey?

I know you are being a bit facetious but I'd hold off on that. non-zero chance Teddy Williams doesn't make the squad and Bradberry might take 21 when he's gone.

I'm confused on why Garrett didn't get drafted. He seems like a stud. 

Just about everyone is miffed about why Garrett wasn't drafted.

At this point, I am hoping that people continue to ask that question for at least the next few years, if not his whole career. That would be quite the feather in Gettleman's cap.

I'm so psyched about Garrett 

Here's how I see WR unfolding:

KB, Funch, Ginn, Brown 

Those 4 are locks, thinking we keep 6 WRs 

Bersin, Garrett, Byrd, Hill, and Norwood are all competing for those two spots 

My best guess is: Byrd goes back to practice squad, Bersin gets cut (nothing against Bersin), and Hill, Garrett and Norwood have a blood bath battle for the last two roster spots

Don't think we take the chance of losing Garrett by putting him on PS and I think one of Norwood or Hill will shine during camp (Panthers have invested in both players and I don't suspect us wanting to lose one) 

 

Either way you slice it or dice it, this could be the best WR corps the Panthers have EVER had.

      Does Brian Daboll get fired?

      By philw5289 · Posted

      I think Daboll stays. They’ll be alright with a new QB. I think Eberflus is gone first thing in the morning though

      How many drops today.

      By jfra78 · Posted

      Depends on what you call a drop.  That ball that Hubbard "dropped" was too high. Yea if he gets fingers on in it should be a catch, but that was an easy throw that allowed the defense to rally.  Even if he had come down with it, he would have been tackled immediately.

      A new coach coming in after what I think was one of the biggest clusters of a team last year and giving your first overall QB a chance isn't to crazy.  You really don't know until you get on the field and Canales saw what we all saw.  Bryce Young was not good enough to start.  But Canales, the staff and numerous other coaches who called about trading for BY thought he might be salvageable.   I agree with you that I don't think it smart or probable that BW would put up 300 yards and 3td.  That is why Canales isn't asking or expecting him to do that.  Yet. And even that "Yet" is just a possibility but it's too freaking hard to find a QB in the NFL and there were to many other factors last year to say BW is a total bust and move on.  Especially when moving on right now means a big trade, some QB off a practice squad or running with some UDFA. The worst thing would be stuck in 6-8 wins a season but that would be a hell of a lot better than the last few year but I get and agree with your point.  My point is simply that the possibility that BW turns it around and becomes a good QB is much more likely than Dalton or any other QB we could get giving us a better chance to win games and improve long term. The only thing I've continued to preach is he's the best option currently and going forward but that doesn't mean we don't bring in other players to improve and get better.  History has shown that this place is ready to cut bait way to early on players with little regard to the alternative, or other factors that play a role in a players success. I'd love to enjoy a win without being told repeatedly over and over by the same people why we are still a failure.  The whole yeah we won but... I'm not arguing and I don't think anyone else actually thinks that your QB throwing for 126 yards is a recipe for winning but I think most people would like to feel good about a win instead of focusing on the host of things we need to continue to improve upon to be a yearly contender.  Trust me, no one is going to forget we still have a long way to go.
