"That's what motivates you to work hard," Wharton said. "At the end of the day, when you look at your fingers and you see that you don't have a ring and (remember) the way we ended it, that motivates you to continue to work and know that you haven't made it yet."

There were a lot of fans that didn't think the Panthers should have re-signed Wharton...based on this and his play last season I am so glad they did. This is exactly what I want to see out of the players on the team.

i don't remember specifically but i do know that i was happy with anything that they did to improve and solidify the Oline. considering at this point it was looking like he was going to be a tackle again (iirc), the money wasn't too far off.

i don't think i was ever thrilled with him playing OT, though, and i can't remember how much experience he had at OG prior to being here but i was hoping for a better and bigger OT.

i just can't remember exactly what i thought...doesn't matter, though. i like the oline we have.

the sentiments of that quote, though, are going to be reverberated throughout the whole team for all of the offseason. last year was the confident swagger. this year will be the sense that they have to make it right.

The first two words that went through my head when I heard the terms of his deal were "guard money". Once they franchised Gross, it seemed logical that a Gross-Wharton left side was what they had in mind since teams rarely franchise right tackles.

With that in mind, I was surprised to find people lamenting the signing. I think some of it was because people looked at the money and thought "left tackle" again, but that of course wasn't true. Gross' current contract is what LT money looks like.

For me, I'm just glad we're keeping some ugly people around. The best teams tend to be built from the foundations out, and it's nice to see us finally following that model.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Karlaftis and Danna have been pretty inconsistent so teams have been doubling Jones and able to contain their pass rush.   But the good thing is that yesterday, we schemed well against Steve Spags Defense, Canales married the surrounding personnel with his QB through play designs within his comfort zone and was able to get downfield at will.  He was able to execute higher difficulty throws and look a lot more comfortable.  It tells me that Canales has a good system in mind, and had an edge gameplanning wise against Spagnuolo - which is nice to see.  It's a bit to see-saw at times with either going way too pass heavy or way too run heavy, but I think he's finding out what works.  It takes time to have it come together, and sure, I could see regression happen against a better front-7, but this was good for the entire system gelling.

      This was evident first two weeks of season. I don’t see any issues with physical tools since he came back. I think he is a player that must play with confidence to overcome those size limitations and he’s doing that.

      Crazy stat

      Still 3-10 on passes over 15 yards.  At least he's not scared to merely attempt them anymore.  Where I see improvement is the 10-15 yard range.  He was 6-6.  Bryce of old was scatter shot on anything beyond 10 yards and the further out, the worse the accuracy.
