A great read and follow up to what yesterday's practice ment.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Cursed. Doomed. Snake-bitten.

It’s just few hours removed from evening practice for the Carolina Panthers, and those are only three of the many characterizations chronicled by fans that are understandably eager for better days.

Why the gloom and doom? Well, amidst the progress of many young contributors, a pair of sobering events unfolded Wednesday:

1.Cam Newton misfired on some passes.

2.2nd year WR David Gettis was escorted to the locker room, via-cart.

This was interesting, and something that I did not get from reading tweets.

I am really glad Chud and Rivera are now getting his out of his comfort zone. This is what is going to help him grow.

Before fans hit the panic button, understand that Chudzinski did not cater to Newton’s comfort-zone last night. There were few one-read throws from 11/12 personnel packages. He spent more time working from a place he does not like—under center—than he did from his “happy place”, upright in the shotgun. I viewed this practice as a test for Newton—Rivera’s first grilling of his #1 pick. He didn’t pass this time, but he has plenty of tape to look at, which can be as valuable to a young QB as anything.

perfect example of how fans can put too much into one practice session....

He makes a good point on Cam.....they intentionally made Cam play to his weakness at practice yesterday and intentionally didn't dial up the type plays he is comfortable with and likely would be pushed when he played.

So it isn't that Cam just sucked.....they were working on the plays he was weak at.

Which was everything but one read plays? That doesn't sound good

No, Cam's strength is working from the shotgun not under center.

.......and the shotgun is being more heavily used than ever in today's NFL.

He is a rookie.

Almost unheard of for NFL rookies to be making multiple read and progressions at this type of game speed.

College kids make multiple reads, but when you are facing an NFL rush and NFL pass coverage, it really, really changes the dynamic. Not to mention, disguising coverages.

He is just going to take time, we just need to lower our expectations of what an NFL rookie can do.

Strickly using other peoples observations.

But yet all of you guys slammed Jimmy last year for the same thing, he was a rookie!

Not true. Slammed Jimmy for not pulling the trigger when his first read was there......checking down or holding on or scrambling out killing the routes when not needed or opting to throw it away.

If the play is there for Cam he will try to make it.....Cam also is more than a one read QB in the shotgun.

Of course Cam will, he is the GREATEST OF ALL TIME

I slammed Jimmy for not taking chances, not being able to hit his first progression, not throwing the ball more than 5 yards, no pocket presence or escapability, and showing no fire or leadership ability.

If he can improve these things then I will be impressed.

Making multiple reads and progressions are something that has to be learned, and are exponentially harder on the NFL level.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By mav1234 · Posted

      There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Whatever they are in totality the cowboys are beat up all to hell on both sides of the ball and even that was too much for lil Bryce to overcome.  Bryce defenders have to hype up every other team and trash every other part of the panthers just because of the situation they’ve put themselves in.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      JB had a first round grade in the eyes of a lot scouts based on HIS TALENT LEVEL. If not for the injury he would have gone higher in the draft, possibly between the middle and the end of round 1. To get him just before the 50th pick is a steal. He'd be on a 4 year deal. You can't even renegotiate until the end of the season 3. You're basically paying him nothing for 3 seasons. I don't buy into all back are interchangeable. No they're not. You have average backs, good backs, then your great-exceptional backs. The latter category doesn't grow on trees. If a back is special it pays to keep them. The key is knowing the difference between the first two categories and the third one.
