Other than the out-of-bounds TD today, has LaFell caught anything in TC? I know he sat out a few days, but it seems like every post/tweet about him, he's dropping the ball.

He caught some stuff last Tuesday when he was still healthy.

broken finger might be a good thing for Smitty....will keep him on the sidelines for preseason.

As someone who doesn't want Cam to endure the same thing as Clausen (ya know... develop zero chemistry with your number 1 receiver the entire preseason)... I hope you are wrong.

I'm really liking the sound of this Wildcat with Armanti, a real QB running a wildcat is going to be dynamic.

Isn't Cam a real QB who can take off and run, making him essentially the quintessential wildcat QB? Wildcat with a "QB" instead of a "RB" is basically an option QB, ie The Golden Calf of Bristol or Cam.

yah he is super mobile. its very evident in the differences u can see down at TC. Cam will move left to right....Jimmy just stands there in the pocket waiting to be sacked.

Smith being out last year had nothing to do w/ Clausen's play last year. Clausen has ZERO chemistry w/ Smitty now and has had tons of reps w/ him.

Cam is hitting Clowney on bombs......Cam is hitting other dudes downfield. Smitty flat out goes too hard. I will give up a little early chemistry for him to be healthy at AZ.

While the answer is yes, this is probably the easiest way to guarantee Clausen another year of significant PT.

Couple things:

Thanks to all of you for taking time to post updates. This type of thread is what I come to the Panthers forum for....awesome job and greatly appreciated.

Second, don't knock Smith for going so hard in practice. It makes him who he is and one hell of a role model for the masses of young WR's we've got that need to be doing the exact same.

It's football, and just as in life there are risk. Go hard or go home. It's part of why there is more than one Smith jersey at my house.

good to hear Norwood is holding his own. Its about time he got some respect....he's one of those guys who is sneaky good, i watched him in college every year he played and he wasn't the most athletic on the field but he sure was a ball hawk. One game he had two Fumble recoveries for TDs!

Just sayin, I'm glad that Rivera is a straight shooter and is making these boys grind it out to see who's actually performing better.

    • True.  Sam and Baker did not do well here but went on to better things under better coaching, circumstances or both.  The real question is, ‘why aren’t the Panthers able to get improved performance out of ‘broken toys’, similar to Minnesota and Tampa? That is a rhetorical question.  I think we know the answer.   [The cultural reference to Pogo dates me, I admit.]
    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.  
    • I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch
