Wharton Meeting With Panthers

[panthers55]

meh.

 

I don't see how making/not making your blocks changes from the type of QB you have. Wharton either made his blocks or he didn't. The OC changed from 2010 to 2011, but his overall score was higher with Cam than in 2010 (scores on his pass/run block inverted scores as well). His overall also dipped from 08-09 from 9.6 to -0.4 but the QB type stayed the same.

 

You can't really conclude it was because of the style of QB though. 

If you watch the game you can see that many times the blockers will form a pocket but when the QB moves the pocket doesn't which sometimes means the defender is blocked right into the QB on mobile quarterbacks.  Wharton who is big but relatively slow can't adjust when Newton moves within the pocket.

Steve Smith is on WFNZ right now, his thoughts on Wharton were "...he should have never been released....CHUD!  CHUD!"

 

Interesting

Well he's now taking a physical according to person.

He's better than our weakest link on oline so its still an upgrade at depth. No reason we won't still bring in another teams cut a bit later.

Taking a physical, but Rivera was non committal in saying if they'll sign him if he passes

Obviously I don't have as much insider info as joe person (lol!) but this tells me gettle may be trying to negotiate with another, better lineman and wharton is tw fallback choice? No?

[frash.exe]

It's almost worth creating an account on twitter just to ask joe person if the panthers have a long term interest in re-signing cam newton to see if I get a "prolly not"

Pretty sure rick bonnell just called person a stalker and person didn't even understand the insult.

He's actually pretty good at deflecting insults by not acknowledging them. It's a great tactic at diverting hostility by just pretending you're too stupid to comprehend that someone is intentionally trying to put you down.

[SuperMan]

Not as big a difference as it used to be.  Who would you rather block on our team?  Charles Johnson or Greg Hardy?

 

Yes because every team in the NFL has two pass rushers that caliber.

[Mr. Scot]

It's a fairly rare thing for a physical to be given to someone you don't intend to sign.

This. He passes, he's a Panther again.

I just kind of wonder about him playing RG...

[TheRed]

Well barring something odd like him failing the physical, he should be signing here.

[Proudiddy]

We better f'ing sign him.
