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

:eek:

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.

    • 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.
    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game to go around   and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important.
