When Training Camp Begins

Things that may happen when training camp begins.

OFFENSE:

Lets be honest, this is a rebuilding year, and as such, we'll use it as on the job training to see(A) which QB is going to be our starter going forward in 2011, and (B) which receivers come on towards the end of the year and show that they are ready to be our number 2 & 3 receivers in 2011.

QB - I think Moore will start, but if Fox keeps and open mind, truly uses this as on the job training to see who is best....then I think Clausen could be starting sometime in the last half of the year.

WR - We all know that it normally takes WR's a couple years to start making real impact. I know these guys should show spurts this year, but I don't think we'll see consistency out of them. I think we'll see a few "Wow, did you see that" plays sandwiched in between alot of learning.

So, my hope is that by the end of the year, on offense, we have a solid QB who is going to be our starter for the next 10 years, as well as a solid back up in place. As well, we have a slot receiver and a tall blocking receiver to complement Smitty. If we do that, and our O-Line stays in good shape, our offense will be SCARY in 2011!!!

DEFENSE:

Again, this is a rebuilding year, but I think our defense can be respectable with two big questions:

1) Can Tyler and Leonard get the job done at DT?

2) While we have starters who are young and should gain alot of experience in order to be strong in 2011, do we have any back ups in case of injuries? If we don't have any injuries, we'll be lower to middle of the pack as a defense. But if we have a few injuries....I think it could get ugly!!!

My biggest concern with next season is our receiving game. Will Barnidge continue to make big plays and become solidified as our starter? Who is going to be our number 2 receiver? It will be interesting to see how our receivers respond with Moore passing and whether they will continue to improve.

I don't see how it is rebuilding. All we did on offense was add talent. Defensively we lost Peppers but with that comes the bigger and more experienced Brown(year2) and we just drafted Norwood and Hardy who should provide immediate pass rush help. Brayton is returning to help stop the run. Obviously they think Tyler and Leonard can get the job. Ed Johnson provides talented depth. Harris is a loss in leadership and experience but he will also be supplanted by a more talented player, either Martin or Godfrey.

I don't think the offense will be any worse than last season. The only loss on offense is WR Mushin Muhammad, and he was replaced by LaFell, and Jarret could finally step up.

Today's trade greatly improves the Panthers defense, by starting 4 DB's with CB cover skills. If Jamar Williams is Thomas Davis backup WLB, allowing James Anderson to start at SLB (backed up by rookie Eric Norwood), with Dan Connor remaining as the backup MLB, the Panthers OLB's will be much faster, and better in pass coverage,

The addition of rookie Greg Hardy improves the pass rush, and adds the needed depth at DE. The only defensive weakness left is at DT, and if the Panthers can add a big run stopping DT, the Panthers defense could be truly smothering.

Nice post. I feel the same way. Just got a feeling we'll be better than advertised. TC should be very interesting.

      Dan Morgan has the chance to do the funniest thing

      I don't think Rodgers but probably not for the political reasons I bet a lot of posters are motivated by. I just think he is not the QB for the Panthers, at all.

      It wasn't great but  the 2022 NYG won 9 of 16 games plus a playoff game. He had a 92.5 passer rating. 15 pass TDs 3200 yards, 7 rushing TD, 700 yards 6 fumbles 3 lost.  His first season he had 18 fumbles lost 11. Wow.  Anyhow he had problems in 2023 with injuries and didn't win poo before tearing his ACL. This year, no Barkley, not good, but you know.... these ACLs take a while and it was right and he throws right so pushes off of it.  I agree it doesn't hurt to let that guy compete cheap. You don't hand him the job like with Bryce or NYG with him.  When I look at what we have been saddled with, he doesn't look worse and has the physical advantage. So I don't get the umbrage given our situation. This "No we won't settle for anything less that the best" attitude and then taking Bryce Young was pathetic and I think that attitude brought us to where we are. That's where that poo gets you. Away from Mayfield, away from Darnold, even away from PJ - just to replace them with an inferior PJ.  At the same time I am not really advocating for the guy just looking at it objectively. It could be another guy with the same story. And yes the odds of him getting it are low but the numbers and performance from 2022 are for sure better than we see with Bryce even after a season of major propping him up with better players around him. Take a look don't take a look he fails or he doesn't fail...   to instead sit here and be happier with what we have is bullshit.
