Big Vern is improving...

Quick look at him battling Chris Scott in a run stopping drill. 

This is a HUGE improvement for him from just over a week ago. Good push, good penetration, even against a huge guy like Scott. Vernon is starting to look like he may help keep the middle of the DL from getting winded early from stopping the run. Should lead to fewer games with those 4th quarter lapses in defense.

I would like to see how he is faring against Trai & Norwell. 

Low man wins.

This is great news.  If Butler can give us quality reps, then this line will be scary deep.  Rotating Star, Short, Butler, and Solelai (spelling?) will be just amazing.  

I love the point you made about avoiding 4th quarter collapses...another reason why I think we have to re-sign Short regardless of how Butler performs.

I wouldn't expect any lineman to look very good on their first few days of camp. There is just so much technique that the guys who have been there before have to go on.  Technique is what the NFL coaches are their to refine.

It will be fun to watch him progress.

So calls of his being a bust based on his first couple of NFL practices in pads were, perhaps, too hasty? Inconceivable.

It was like one or two reps of drills where he looked beat. The ones he looked good in weren't even mentioned.

No, still a bust but now he also the comeback player of the year. All that in a week. Amazing!

      BREAKING: Panthers signing former 1st round pick CB

      As fans have we unanimously concluded that Bryce Young IS THE PROBLEM

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      The last thing I want to do is read what the average fan thinks.  Most can't think past the last game they watched. Now we have people trying to say we were really pretty good last year and the whole problem was just Bryce.  The coaching staff, playcalling, play of the rest of the team was not good.  Giving up on a high draft pick after nearly killing him with 9 different starter at guard, horrible play calling and a below average run game is not a recipe for a rookie QB.  I'm not blind.  His play the first two weeks of this season was awful and 100% is not good enough to play QB in the NFL, starter or backup.  If this is who he is and there is no hope for improvement then he'll be out of the league soon enough.  Go watch the All 22 film.  There is a lot of horrible plays but there are also a lot of good one.  NFL level ability, throws and runs.  More than enough examples of good plays to say if he can play like that consistently then he can be an NFL starting QB. It's very easy to see the biggest problem now is his confidence which has caused him to regress even more and make his good traits average or worse and his bad traits look like they can't be fixed. We know he's a young kid. We know last year the panthers did a horrible job putting in a position to be successful. We know that our new head coach excels at helping and training QBs. We know we've already paid a good deal of his contract. We know he's very willing to learn and has a good attitude despite his situation. We know he has the raw ability to play at this level because he has already done it. There are a great number of reasons not to throw the kid out on his butt just yet. We are at the bottom of the league.  We don't have the pleasure of throwing any potential away. Worse case we miss out on a 4th or 5th round pick.  Best case, Canales is the real deal and he turns Bryce into the player he was in college but at the NFL level.
