They should just start the regular season whenever the first preseason game is normally played. That would make room for more bye weeks and give extra wiggle room in case they need to pause the season.

Imagine the Panthers playing in a totally new offense and defense after only 2 weeks of training camp.

 

Talk about a poo show.

I'm sure the fans will understand. 

If nothing else, it gives us the perfect excuse while tanking for Trevor or Fields.

I kind of like this idea.

Works for me. I don't see the season being completed and it will take us some time to gel. We'll be taking those L's proper. No preseason and an abbreviated season = big time inside track to the #1 overall pick IMO.

What really would suck? NFL plays and college doesn’t.  We secure a top 3 pick...

then Fields and Trevor stay to play in college and don’t come out since they didn’t get to play

Oh wee mayne. I just can't see it happening though. They'd be draft eligible since they'd be three years removed from their HS class graduating. They're not required to complete three years of college competition, just be three years removed from graduating HS.

just saying....how many first round caliber players at Clemson have stayed at Clemson in recent years under Dabo?  Several.   Clemson DL stayed to win a natty.  Etienne went back this year.   They didn’t stay to improve their stock. 

Everyone isn’t in a rush to grow up when they know they got the talent and don’t have  a family that is dependent on them getting that NFL check immediately.

I meant I *can't see them BOTH doing it. One or the other going back makes the other a near slam dunk as the #1 overall pick.

Let’s look at the glass being half full.......

With one game, both the offense and defense will be entirely vanilla.  The first few teams will have 0 film on any defensive schemes or offensive plays.  Advantage Panthers.

A major reason for preseason games is to get a look at rookies.  With only practice and one preseason game some will get cut who will eventually be good players.  With Rhule’s recent college knowledge and the team going younger, they can afford  to churn the bottom of the roster and take chances others may not want to.  Advantage Panthers.

      XL about to turn the corner

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
