3 Players

[Carl Spackler]

Armanti Edwards

Greg Olsen

Derek Anderson

[Chaos]

Everett Brown

Armanti Edwards

QB Competition.

This, exactly this for me.

[Clicheking]

Gettis/Lafell - Can they continue you to progress?

Hardy - Can he step up and be a starting DE. We really need him to, or we'll be looking for a DE in the draft. I have high hopes for him

Mcclain/Fua - Obvious choice, we need both to come in and produce now!

[MrBubba]

1) Thomas Davis is he back healthy and can he stay healthy

2) All the tight ends and who starts Shockey or Olsen

3) Right side of Oline, is Otah really healthy and who snags RG.

[weymouthst]

AE: We moved for him in the draft, and we need to solidify our WR corps, so we need to know what we have going into the next draft/FA.

Gettis/Lafell: Same reason as AE, need to know what we have here. We NEED to find that #2 WR, and future #1.

Everett Brown: High draft pick, being labeled as a bust by many fans. He needs to shows us more consistent play, and try to stay healthy so we can get a thorough eval.

[rayzor]

otah- see if the beast is back and can stay healthy

armanti- how they use him and how well he does. dude has ability. just needs to find how to use it.

mcclain- got a feeling he's going to be a disruptor.

[ncmonzta]

Thomas Davis- see how he comes back from injury

Cam Newton- see how he improves each week

Gettis-see if he can be consistent and possible future #1

[Lout]

#1 Hardy - Needs to step up, opposite CJ.. I am losing faith in Everette Brown. Can we have two good pass rushing bookends on the field at the same time? Would be a site to see.

#2 Munnerlynn - Can he be the #2 CB opposite Gamble? Why does our FO think CB is not a big need? They must have confidence in this group.

#3 Olsen/Shockey - The TE situation in general. Can't wait to see the TE used as a weapon. This position will be a QBs best friend.. and should really open up Smitty to do his thing.

[Mr ocho nueve]

Jimmy

Fiametta

A.E.

[OchoNueve]

Greg Hardy - Hardy has been a lot of hype since he has joined the Panthers and his latest thrill ride on a motorcycle ended in him missing the start of training camp. This is the year to take a leap forward if he wants to become part of the Panther's "core"

Ron Edwards - Being the only big free agent signing at a critical postion of need for the Panthers, Edwards is going to be under the microscope early for Panther Fans to see if we can now stop the run.

Tony Fiametta - I'm keeping a close eye here because I think the Panthers drastically need to upgrade at the fullback spot. I am not sold on Fiametta who was an integral piece to our lackluster run game last season. With Hoover gone, our stable of RB's need someone they fully trust to open up the holes for them. Our QB play this year will be reliant on a strong run game and as confident as I am in our current, healthy O-Line, I believe Fiametta is the one weak link in the run blocking game. I'll be keeping an eye on him, hoping he proves me wrong.

Honorable Mention: Armanti, Gettis, Lafell, Otah, Munnerlyn

[armistice]

from a passing options aspect....Miami is way ahead of what Moore was working w/ last year.

Marshall is a beast. Redonkulous when he is playing hard.

Bess is a beast at what he does.

Reggie Bush might be the best RB in the NFL as a passing threat out of the backfield.

Miami's offense is looking good, will be good to see Moore and Hene battle it out. Should help Moore do better, competing for the starting position and all. Compared to last year when he was handed the job. :\

[Razeyfingers]

right now im thinkin:

Dat Deal

Gamble

Shockey

The latter two to see how well they return to form. I still think Shockey will be the #1 when it comes to game time though. I have no reason for that,. . . other than the doing pushups story between craps rolls in the Vegas Casino I heard about.

[Ivan The Awesome]

3 players I'll be watching closely, because I want to see what they can do.

Armanti Edwards.

I'm still pissed we gave up a 2nd round pick for him. But if he can come in, compete in the preseason, and like he is now in camp. Show that he was worth that 2nd. I'd be very happy. I'll eat motherfuging crow.

Everette Brown.

It's do or die time. Personally I think he was better than Tyler Brayton, but because of Fox being a dumbass, he wouldn't get the playing time. New coach, clean slate. Time to nut up or shut up.

Whoever is at CB.

Robert McClain, Captain Munnerlyn, R.J. Staford, Kendrick Burney, which ever one of these guys takes the role and plays. I want to see what they can do. Who'll emerge from this when the dust settles? Because the opportunity is there I want to know who will embrace it.

All the other players I'm not to worried about. I know Olsen will be great, Hardy is a stud, Gettis is a star in the making. Cam is cam. Jimmy...uh..well he's jimmy.
