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 frankw · Posted

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.

      It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
