The return of "It is what it is"....

“Our quarterback position is what it is right now,” coach Ron Rivera told reporters during a recent visit to Fayetteville. “We’ve got to talk about where we want to head as far as the veteran backup is concerned.”

Thought we'd never hear this again with fox out the door? you thought wrong.

sigh....it's been a long offseason...END THE LOCKOUT

How sad is it that this article came outta the Shelby star!? I grew up there.... Sad sad city!

Never been to Shelby, but I will always hate that place. Beat my football team in the State Championship 5 years ago. Total heartbreaker.

And yes, to the OP, the lockout does need to end because we definitely need something with some real substance to talk about. I'd at least like for our coach to be able to say hello to his players at some point.

Listen to coaches around the league. They all use that term quite often. It is not unique to Fox simply we heard it ad nauseum because he was our coach.

exactly.. sometimes there's only 1 answer to a question because people want to know what an answer cannot give.

OR, the coach/staff/player would be stupid to give it.. expect to hear it all your life.

Most interesting thing is that Cam already has the starter job locked up before stepping foot in camp and they aren't even going to pretend like he has to earn it. They also don't seem to be thinking about competition for him either.

Don't know if that's a good or bad thing, just interesting.

    • I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...
    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
