Matt Rhule talking about his priorities for camp, first mentions that their defense has to "go from good to great." For all the QB attention, that's going to be a significant piece if they want to improve.

Matt Rhule said the Panthers will decide how QB reps are split up in training camp after he has a face-to-face conversation with all four QBs in the room together following tomorrow's reporting day. Says the coaching staff has a plan for it.

Matt Rhule says the defense has to go from "good to great . . . the first thing we have to become a better red zone defense.''

Matt Rhule will have walk through workouts in early morning and now the start time for the full practice will be closer to midday, which is hotter. But he noted walk through in afternoons as it was last year was almost unbearable.

Matt Rhule expects Shaq Thompson to start camp on the PUP list. Says Thompson had "cleanout of the knee" and he expects him to be back in a few weeks. Doesn't sound like a big concern for the Panthers LB.

Rhule says second-year DT Daviyon Nixon should be full-go. Nixon had season-ending knee surgery about midway through rookie year.

Matt Rhule on Baker Mayfield: "There’s no doubt, he has to get here and learn the offense. He has to go from level 1 to level 4, which is mastery and confident.'' He also noted Mayfield has had to learn new offenses before.

Rhule said Darnold has been an "ultimate team guy" in regards to the acquisition of Baker Mayfield. Loves how he's worked this offseason and looks forward to the competition. They've worked out together here in Charlotte before camp.

If Matt Rhule has a favorite to win the quarterback job between Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold he's not saying. "My job is not to pick the starting quarterback. The players will do that with the way they play. It’ll be a fun ride. When we know we will know.’’

Matt Rhule sets the record straight on the 2017 game between his Baylor team and Baker Mayfield and Oklahoma and the pre-game skirmish. He initially thought Mayfield started the skirmish, but one of his quarterbacks admitted he started it.

Ok so if the starting QB sucks blame the other QB's for being even worse than him?

Free agent DT Danny Shelton is visiting the the #Panthers, source said. Some potential DL depth before camp.

Would be another big body in the middle, which they could use as they try to shore up the run defense.

Thanks as always, Cap...

RHULE: “I don’t want to be part of a mediocre organization”

You know what to do Matt.

We've still got a way to go before we're as good as mediocre.

On paper, and maybe I am drunk on preseason optimism, but I think we are better than last year.  I worry about DE/OLB, Left OL, QB, CMC's health, Anderson's mental condition, and linebacker--not many people worrying about that--but I think we need a stud MLB and I do not see it.

[Waldo]

Need an offensive identity? How about score some points. Maybe look into adjusting in game. 3rd year and I have no faith in this guy.

• If he thinks last year's defense was good, he's got a lot of learning to do.
• As Waldo posted, just try to score some points. Worry about an identity after you're able to score.
• Yeah...the panthers have been wanting that to happen for years. I expect they'll still be waiting after this season too.

It would be nice if the people running this team had a plan In place BEFORE the start of camp.
