OK Folks - Training Camp Coverage - What dark horse players are you interested in ?

These may be real dark horses but we have a knack of taking under-valued LBs (David Mayo anyone?) and making them more than serviceable. I think our two late round LB picks (Jermaine Carter out of Maryland and Andre Smith from UNC) are fighting for one spot. Which one can step up and proves to be the next in the line of great Panther linebackers. My money is on Smith being fully healed from his ACL and proving that he was a steal.

ICorn Elder, Ian Thomas, Doss, backup QB because that probably is most important thing they need to look at. If these guys are not hitting on much we have to go get a FA so if anything happens to Cam. Either way we are screwed if he goes down though.

    • If there's another QB that came to the combine after packing on 15 lbs of water weight to hide his playing weight, I don't remember it.  I understand it's all part of the pre-draft game, and he participated. The FO was stupid and ignored huge red flags.  On a side note though, I was at the airport a few weeks ago and saw a basketball team going through and decided to try and look through them. I'm 6'2 and these guys were 6'6 and up. I was amazed by how much I couldn't see around them. And these guys weren't 300 plus in pads. I still think he's having a hell of a time seeing the field at the NFL speed. 
    • There is merit to the points you're making here. On the flip side one could argue it took us investing 150 million in the oline for him to have a breakout season. And he has still yet to hit 1k rushing yards in a season. As far as Brooks goes the position does not require that significant of a draft investment for many other teams. That's not being negative it's just a matter of fact. The 49ers did quite well with a UDFA running back while McCaffrey was out. It is understandable that some people have concerns. That being said it boils down to whether or not you believe in the player. We just have to see what happens with him and Brooks.
    • Okay, that day in Vegas had to embarrass him completely. Andy showed him how to do the job.  What I think when I go there, why did it take Andy? He has had game after game of watching actual NFL QBs work and that didn't do it?  Anyhow Andy did not mess around, he stood in there and did his job and got rid of the ball ahead of the pressure. Down the field. With the same players Bryce had. Night and day.  If that didn't wake him up nothing ever would. But I don't think he has any sort of top NFL QB in him, he just lacks the full tool kit.
