Apparently we are not the only one's paying attention.

Lots of info /  links to other teams.  Screw them, who cares.

here is the part about Conor Orr's fave to win it all;

• The Panthers are always good about releasing their jersey schedule before the regular season, and this year is no exception (additional info here):

It's also worth noting that the Panthers paired their blue alternate jersey with black pants -- a uni combo that had never been used before in team history -- for one of their preseason games. Reaction was mostly positive, so it wouldn't be surprising to see this look resurface during the regular season (here's some additional info and a photo gallery):

And in another preseason game, the Panthers tried another previously unseen uni combo: white jerseys with black pants. Interestingly, that look had shown up on a Starting Lineup action figure 20 years ago but had never made it onto the field until now:

Fun fact: Although last night's preseason game was the first time the Panthers have worn white-over-black on the field (left), there was a Starting Lineup action figure with that uni combo 20 years ago. Maybe it was something they were considering at the time but then abandoned.

 
 

Meanwhile: For years the Panthers have used the NFL shield as their midfield logo, but this year they're reportedly changing it to the team's primary logo. They stuck with the NFL mark during the preseason, but the switcheroo will supposedly be happening in time for the team's home opener Sunday.

      Jabrill Peppers Available

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.

      Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
