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.

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      By fanpanther · Posted

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.

      In my dream, we somehow luck into a top 2 pick and someone wants a QB bad and doesn’t want anyone else to jump them. Somehow we’ll probably screw up the picks anyway, but it would be nice to do even partially what Chicago did to us. We’d have to lose out, which is a decent possibility unless Tampa is resting. We need Atlanta to stay within a game because Atlanta beat Tampa twice. The rest of the draft slots are who knows because Jax plays the Raiders and then Tennessee and you never know who will rest starters. I think we are top 7 unless we somehow pull out 2 more wins. The 4 win teams have higher SOS and there is only one 5 win team with the same SOS. If we win 1 of 3, we still should stay in top 7. If we lose out and the Jax games work for us, we can easily be top 3.
