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.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
